•The steamboat was a great invention during industrialization for the increased trade. The boats were able to go through rivers against the current and get to places that would usually be impossible without waiting for the proper wind. This along with the railroad systems proved to be a series of revolutionary transportation improvements that allowed economies to thrive.
