Use the paragraph to answer the question.

While the invention of the steamboat is often credited to American inventor Robert Fulton, the credit should really go to John Fitch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late 18th century. These ships successfully traveled across lakes and rivers and demonstrated that steam could be used to propel ships. Fitch's boats also included more traditional elements, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By combining tried-and-true propulsion methods with new technology, Fitch created working steamboats. It lost its place in American memory due not to any mechanical failure, but to financial ones. Its production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically viable. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It was not until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as "the father of steam navigation."
