River transport before the steamboat was extremely slow. Often times on canals of in rivers, barges of goods were pulled by oxen on land. The steamboat increased water transportation immensely. Cargo and people could navigate waterways and sea coasts, where as in the past this was tedious compared to steamboat power.

A steamboat is a riverboat with a steam powered engine that could travel up or down stream.
Robert Fulton boosted America into the industrial age with his invention of the steamboat in the early 19th century. This innovation revolutionized transportation and trade by allowing for faster and more efficient travel on rivers and waterways. Fulton's steamboat, the Clermont, made its maiden voyage in 1807, marking the beginning of a new era in American transportation and industry.
Robert Fulton's development of the steamboat addressed the inefficiencies of river transportation, particularly the difficulty of navigating upstream against strong currents. Prior to the steamboat, boats relied on wind or manual labor for propulsion, making upstream travel slow and arduous. Fulton's invention revolutionized trade and travel by enabling faster, more reliable transport of goods and passengers, significantly reducing travel times on rivers and contributing to economic growth. This innovation played a crucial role in the expansion of commerce in the early 19th century.
