William Symington
Biography
In 1802 Symington built the Charlotte Dundas at Grangemouth, one of the first practical steamboats, and intended as a tug for the Forth & Clyde Canal. The canal owners refused to allow its use on the canal because they were afraid that the wash would damage the canal banks.
