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.
