In 1807, the first steamboat in passenger operation, "Clermont", was launched from present-day Pier 45, in the West Village. The "Clermont", the first successful boat of its kind in the United States, helped give Robert Fulton control over all steamboat operations on the rest of the Hudson River. The English White Star Line, consisting of the "Lusitania", the "Olympic", and the "Titanic", had a terminal at Pier 54. It was at this location where survivors of the sinking of the "Titanic" arrived in the "Carpathia".
