text_original: This took place at Philadelphia. Men like Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin came to see the new wonder. It was mar  velous to see a boat propelled by steam, but the speed was only three or four miles an hour, so there was no great enthusiasm over the steam oar boat. The next year, Fitch built a second boat, with the paddles placed at the stern. But the boat could not be made to go faster than a man could walk, and it was no more of a success than the first.
