A steamship is a type of vessel that is powered by steam engines, which use steam generated from boiling water to drive mechanical propulsion systems. These ships were pivotal in the 19th century, revolutionizing maritime travel and trade by allowing for faster and more reliable transportation across oceans and rivers. Steamships played a crucial role in the industrial revolution and significantly impacted global commerce and passenger travel. Today, they are mostly of historical interest, with modern ships typically using diesel or gas turbine engines.
