In 1816 'Chancellor Livingston' was the largest steamboat in America and in 1817 she made a record passage of 18 hours from Albany to New York. In 1834 she had to be beached off Boston after hitting a rock, but her engines were saved. The vessel was designed by Robert Fulton and named after his partner Robert Livingston. Fulton died early in 1815 before it was launched and his design was completed by Eckford in consultation with Isaac Webb. This Swedish print's inscription translates as: 'The Inland Steamer Chancellor Livingston. Length of deck 160 feet. Breadth 34 feet', and it has a key in Swedish to various parts of the vessel, which is shown in lengthways cross-section.
