A keelboat was a type of flat-bottomed vessel used primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries for transporting goods and people on rivers and shallow waterways. Characterized by its long, narrow design and a keel that allowed for stability, these boats were often powered by a combination of human effort, animal power, and sails. Keelboats played a crucial role in the expansion of trade and settlement in America, especially along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. They were eventually supplanted by steamboats as technology advanced.
It is believed that the Phoenicians invented the keelboat. It is estimated that the keelboat came into existence around 1100 BC.
