The burning point of the paper staemboat is alot higher then the water inside it. When the fire start, the water inside the steamboat will keep absorbing the heat energy from the flame. The steamboat cannot be burnt since it cannot reach the bruning point for it to burn, even when the water starts to boil. The steamboat, however, will start to burn when the water inside finish evaporating and can nolonger absorb the energy for it.

Does paper or construction paper burn faster?

cloth burns the fastest then paper the second fastest and wood burns the slowest The speed of oxidation (combustion) of a material is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the surface area of exposed material, available oxygen, moisture content and heat of combustion. All three of these materials can be caused to burn at a faster or slower rate than each other by varying their properties. A pile of folded newspapers, a pile of matchsticks and a pile of clothes, the matchsticks might burn faster, separate the clothes in layers with air pockets and add a fan the clothes might burn faster. crumple the paper into balls and that might burn faster. Use an accelerant like gasoline and that might help something burn even faster, because of a hotter flame. Note: some types of cloth and paper do not burn at all.
