It could transport people around better. You can travel in rivers with it and it could save you loads of time
It could also help the environment by using steam instead of gas.
It made the transportation by boat way faster because it was no longer dependent on wind. It also allowed the boats to have an "on-schedule water travel" this means that the boats could arrive on time. and people would know when it was going to arrive, because it wasn't powered by wind.
It could help people farm and do more tasks quicklier.
Since this answer is nowhere i will help yall out the historical era when water and steam-powered machines started being used on a large scale is----industrial revolution
it helps the people by providing a longer transportation
Steamships were used to carry passengers up rivers, in this case mainly paddle steamers. They were also used to carry cargo. Some-coal-powered and later oil-powered steamers-were built to carry both cargo and passengers across greater distances.
The steam engine helped to power the Industrial Revolution. Before steam power, most factories and mills were powered by water, wind, horse, or man. Water was a good source of power, but factories had to be located near a river.
they jump on a boat and then they pull you up with a rope and give you breathing devises
To get the robot on poptropica you have to go to "SULLY'S STEAM-POWERED PARAPHERNALIA" and click on something you can get and the robot will wake up and follow you and then at some point in the game he will help you and he will not talk to you
James Watt's steam engine helped people as it was four times as fast as the one before it and it was much effective. With his help with the engine it made it easier and better to use.
Made of steel and some glass, the very powerful steam would help move the boat approxiamtely 5 miles per hour. This allowed the boat to move against the wind
A steam engine on a ship meant that the vessel could sail against the wind. Nor would lack of a wind mean the vessel would risk becoming becalmed - a problem often faced by sailing ships.
The steam engine helped power machines which was able to help process more coal and iron. It also powered trains and boats which could transport more coal and iron, making productivity much faster.
