No, the Lapita people did not build steamships. They were an ancient Pacific Islander culture known for their advanced seafaring skills and pottery, flourishing between approximately 1600 BCE and 500 BCE. Their vessels were primarily canoes made from wood and other natural materials, designed for navigating the open ocean, but they did not have the technology to create steamships. Steam-powered ships were developed much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries.

How did the lapita people get there name?

From the awesome and finely decorated pottery they made. To be more specific, lapita pottery is recognised for it's unique and intricate designs which is so precise and elaborately decorated on early pottery. These type of pottery pieces were initially discovered in New Caledonia, in a place called Lapita, hence, the name. These type of pottery were later being discovered in other Pacific islands which created the idea that they were being associated with movement and migration in the Pacific as the people would take it with them wherever they would go. With this idea, these early peopple and their migration pattern were penned the "Lapita people". I'm no expert but that's as much as I know, hope it answers you well. Cheers
