Following the successful installation of a steam engine on four wheels in 1769 by French man Cugnot, tests were made to use the steam engine on boats. As propellers had not been created yet, the first steam boats used wheels. The British and French army engineers started testing on rivers in the early 1780's. In 1803 a demonstration was given demonstration was given to Napoleon on the river Seine.
