from what I hear, they still use elevators. Know of a guy who repairs conveyor systems and has had to go down elevators (sometimes it takes an hour) to get underground! This is in 2009!

Steamboats primarily used wood or coal as fuel. Early steamboats, especially in the 19th century, relied heavily on wood, which was readily available along rivers. As technology advanced and coal became more accessible, many steamboats switched to coal for its higher energy content and efficiency.

Coal mines often have two shafts to enhance safety and operational efficiency. One shaft serves as the main entry and exit point for miners and equipment, while the second shaft acts as a ventilation route, allowing fresh air to circulate and reducing the risk of gas accumulation. Additionally, having two shafts provides an emergency escape route, improving safety in case of accidents or emergencies. This dual-shaft system is essential for managing the challenges of underground mining.
Coal is obtained through mining, which can be done via surface mining or underground mining, depending on the depth and location of the coal seam. Surface mining involves removing overlying soil and rock to access the coal, while underground mining requires creating tunnels or shafts to reach deeper deposits. Once extracted, coal is processed to remove impurities and prepare it for transportation and use in energy generation, steel production, and other industrial applications. Harnessing coal typically involves burning it to produce steam that drives turbines for electricity generation.

In the 19th century, advancements in technology revolutionized cooking with the introduction of the 19th century stove. This new stove allowed for more precise temperature control, faster cooking times, and improved efficiency compared to traditional open hearths. The use of coal and later gas as fuel sources also contributed to the convenience and effectiveness of cooking on these stoves.
During the 19th century, coal became the most popular fuel for heating and industrial purposes due to its abundance and efficiency. Towards the end of the century, the discovery and use of oil and natural gas also began to rise in popularity, particularly for transportation and lighting.
Yes, there was a coal mine in Shafton, a village in South Yorkshire, England. The mine operated from the 19th century until it closed in the 1980s.
The only source of coal in Georgia is located in the Appalachian region, specifically in the northwestern part of the state. This area is part of the larger Appalachian coal basin, where coal has been mined since the 19th century. The coal produced here is primarily used for energy generation and industrial purposes.
