What were the differences among flatboats keel-boats and steamboats?
Flatboats, keelboats, and steamboats were all essential types of watercraft used in the 18th and 19th centuries, primarily in North America. Flatboats were flat-bottomed and designed for one-way trips down rivers, typically carrying goods to markets, as they could not be steered upstream. Keelboats, on the other hand, were more versatile, with a keel that allowed them to navigate upstream and were often propelled by manpower or sails. Steamboats revolutionized river travel with steam engines, enabling them to travel both upstream and downstream efficiently, significantly improving transportation and trade.
