In 1783 a ship ran against the current of the Saone River for 15 minutes, although the boiler could not generate enough steam for extended operations. In 1787 a steamboat built by James Rumsey was demonstrated on the Potomac River; propelled by a stream of water forced out of the stern by steam pressure.
