In 1736, Jonathan Hulls
was granted a patent in England for a Newcomen engine-powered steamboat (using a pulley instead of a beam, and a pawl and ratchet to obtain rotary motion). However it was not until 1774 that Claude de Jouffroy
(and his colleagues) built a working 13-metre (42ft 8 in) steamboat with rotating paddles, called the Palmipède.
The link below shows a picture of a replica of this boat.
