The SS Savannah, built in 1818. was the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, in early summer of the following year, 1819.
Savannah was a hybrid, part sail and part steam-powered side-wheeler, and did not cross entirely under steam.
The first two to cross entirely under steam were the Sirius and the Great Western, in 1838, who ran a competitive race from England to New York. The Sirius arrived only a few hours ahead of the Great Western. The two are credited with inaugurating regular transatlantic steam service.

In 1838, the SS Sirius became the first steamship to cross the Atlantic solely under steampower. However this record has been questioned, because she ran out of coal, and had to burn the furniture and other wooden items to maintain steam pressure.
The SS Sirius beat Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western to this record by one day.
