The steamboat was revolutionary because it transformed transportation and commerce on rivers and inland waterways, allowing for faster, more reliable travel and shipping of goods. Unlike traditional sailboats or barges, steamboats could navigate upstream against currents, significantly expanding trade routes and accessibility. This innovation contributed to the economic growth of regions, particularly in the United States, and played a crucial role in the westward expansion during the 19th century. Additionally, it influenced the development of cities along rivers, enhancing their importance as commercial hubs.

What was revolutionary about Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie?

One could say that Walt made Steamboat Willie to be the first cartoon but it happened to be the cartoon they were working on when Walt secured his first sound recording equipment and worked the kinks out.
