Also, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s transport empire made him one of the richest men in history.  He started his empire by running a ferry across the new york harbor and building his empire in regional transport.  In 1847 he expanded into the rail business by taking over presidency of the stonington rail line.  He expanded into the realm of oceangoing steamships.  After the civil war Vanderbilt sold all his steamships and bought up more rail companies and started one of the first corporations.
