Both Fulton and Ste- vens built boats that were successful, but Ful- ton's Clermont, making the trip from New York to Albany at the average rate of five miles an hour, August 7, 1807, secured for Liv- ingston and himself a monopoly on New York waters. On the Hudson, trips soon became regular, and gradually other boats were added. Schemes of a great system dawned on many minds. DeWitt Clinton attributes the " orig- inal invention of the Erie route " to Judge Francis A. Van der Kemp, who, in Augu...st, 1792, proposed the route from Wood Creek by the Mohawk and Hudson, through the Seneca River to the Genesee lands, and through the Onondaga and Oswego Rivers to Lake Ontario. He, however, still relied on the slack water of the rivers. Gouverneur Morris, as early as 1777, declared that '' at no distant day the 530 NEW YORK. waters of the great inland seas would, by the aid of man, break through their barriers and mingle with those of the Hudson ; " and in 1800, after a visit to Lake Ontario, skirting the south- ern shore and going to Niagara and Lake Erie, he drew a glowing picture of " ships to sail from London through the Hudson River to Lake Erie.
