The Steamboat was a new and improved boat in its timed and is still used today. It was created in the Industrial Revolution. In 1787, John Fitch demonstrated the first steamboat, which had twelve paddles and was propelled by a steam engine. From 1787 to the 1830s, steamboats were improved. In 1804, John Stevens built a steamboat with a new engine that used a higher pressure. A lot of people tried to improve steamboats so that they could carry passengers and cargo. Robert Fulton was the first to accomplish the task. By purchasing a steam engine built by James Watt, he was able to use the engine to power a 133-foot steamboat, the Clermont. In 1807, Robert Fulton's boat made a journey from New York City to Albany. By the 1830s, steamboats were the convention. They were used as methods of transportation in canals and other navigable waterways. They were used to promote trade.

The boat also had a paddle wheel which is the most memorable thing about the steamboat. The boats had a hull, or body, made of timber. The job of the Steamboat was to transport goods and people across rivers. Robert Fulton the creator of the working steamboat was called “father of steam navigation.” He was not the first guy to create a steamboat.
