Early steamboating faced several dangers, including boiler explosions due to pressure build-up, which could be catastrophic. Additionally, collisions with other vessels or obstacles in the water, such as rocks or snags, posed significant risks. The risk of fire from the wood-burning engines and the lack of effective firefighting measures heightened dangers on board. Lastly, the unpredictability of river currents and weather conditions could lead to capsizing or grounding.
