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 was the steamboat invented?
Steam-engine pioneer Denis Papin is credited with designing a paddlewheel steamboat in 1704, but could not get it developed. His paddleboat model was shown on the Fulda River in 1707. Marquis Claude de Jouffroy of France built a 42-foot working steamboat with rotating paddles, the Palmipède, in 1774. The ship sailed on the Doubs River in June and July 1776, apparently the first steamship to sail successfully. After the use of a paddlewheel passenger vessel by John Fitch of Pennsylvania in 1785, Robert Fulton became the first successful steamboat operator in 1807, travelling 240 miles on the Hudson River between New York City and Albany.
