What century was the steamboat invented?
American and European inventors had created the steamboat in the late 1700s, but they were not widely used until the early 1800s. In 1803, Robert Fulton, an American, tested his first steamboat design in France. A few years later, he tested the first full-sized commercial steamboat, the Clermont, in the U.S. On August 9, 1807, the Clermont traveled against the current up the Hudson River. After that, demand for steamboat ferry service rose. The steamboat was well suited for river travel because it could move upriver and did not depend on wind power. They increased trade because goods could be moved quickly. By 1840, more than 500 steamboats were being used in the U.S., and by the 1850s, they were also being used to carry people and goods across the Atlantic Ocean.
How far did Lewis and Clark go in the West?
Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon. In total they had traveled 7,689 miles (13,532,640 yards; 40,597,920 feet). The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.

How have fire hydrants changed history?
Fire hydrantFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Fire hydrant in Charlottesville, Virginia, USAA fire hydrant (also known colloquially as a fire plug in the United States or as a johnny pump in New York City, because the firemen of the late 1800s were called Johnnies[citation needed]), is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire. Buildings near a hydrant may qualify for an insurance discount since firefighters should be able to more rapidly extinguish a fire on the insured property.The concept of fire plugs dates to at least the 1600s. This was a time when firefighters responding to a call would dig down to the wooden water mains and hastily bore a hole to secure water to fight fires. The water would fill the hole creating a temporary well, and be transported from the well to the fire via bucket brigades or, later, via hand pumped fire engines. The holes were then plugged with stoppers, normally redwood, which over time came to be known as fire plugs. The location of the plug would often be recorded or marked so that it could be reused in future fires. This is the source of the colloquial term fire plug still used for fire hydrants today. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, the city installed water mains with holes drilled at intervals, equipped with risers, allowing an access point to the wooden fire plugs from street level. [1][2]It has been claimed that Birdsill Holly invented the fire hydrant, but his 1869 design was preceded by many other patents for fire hydrants, and a number of these earlier designs were produced and successfully marketed. Numerous wooden cased fire hydrant designs existed prior to the development of the familiar cast iron hydrant. Although the development of the first above ground hydrant in the USA traces back to Philadelphia in 1803[3], underground fire hydrants - common in parts of Europe and Asia - have existed since the 1700s.
