It has found a resting-place worthy of its great origin, and will doubtless prove an object of even greater interest to the generations which succeed us than it does to ourselves. All honour to those who have preserved it to the nation.--Once a-Week." BECENT DISCOVERY OF MORE ORIGIKAL DOCUMENTS, ESTABLISHING THE CLAIM OF THE LATE WILLIAM SYMINGTON. "There have been many claimants to the honour of the invention of steam navigation j but that the late William Symington was the first person who applied the power of the steam-engine to the propulsion of vessels, we think there can now be no reasonable doubt. Blasco de Garay in 1543, the Marquis of Worcester in 1663, and Jonathan Halls in 1737, may all have thought of applying steam to navigation, but their ideas led to nothing. In 1786, however, Mr Symington, then residing at Wanlockhead, Dumfriesshire, conceived the bold idea that the steam-engine might be rendered available for the propulsion of land carriages, as also that vessels might be propelled by the same power. He and his brother George were at that time joint-engineers to the Warlockhead Mining Company, and Mr John Taylor was manager of the mines, to whom they were much indebted for the facilities afforded them in having the idea Eoon embodied in a working model, which an old man, named John Black, still living there, remembers having seen. It was constructed on four wheels, moved in any direction by the power of a small steam-engine (patented by Mr Symington), and designed so as to carry 16 cwt, besides coals, water, &c." In the Edinburgh Evening Courant of July 12, 1786, it is described as being "one of...

Book excerpt: "There have been numerous books written about the development of the steamship but most deal with vessels built after Robert Fulton's commercial success of 1807 in America. Very few contain more than a line or so on the many earlier attempts made, and these at best only briefly mention William Symington. Both Fulton and Symington were contemporaries in their early but seperate endeavours between 1785 and 1807. Neither were commercially successful by Symingtons last vessel of 1803 and possibly his penultimate one of 1801, were the technical equal of the vessel built by Fulton in 1807." -- from dust jacket.
