Henry Shreve was not the first person to build a steamboat. In fact, a man named Mr. Fulton had been building them for a few years by the time Henry set out to build his. Henry believed that the design of the boats could be improved, and he wanted to build a better version, even though everyone laughed at him and told him that his ideas would never work. His determination and conviction paid off, and the Washington became the prototype for future Mississippi River steamboats.
