Steamships

Steamships are boats or ships powered by steam engines, which use steam generated from boiling water to create pressure that drives a piston or turbine. They revolutionized maritime transport in the 19th century, enabling faster and more reliable travel compared to sailing ships, which relied on wind. Steamships played a crucial role in commerce, exploration, and military operations, facilitating global trade and passenger travel across oceans. With their advancement, they contributed to the Industrial Revolution and the expansion of economies, making long-distance transportation more accessible and efficient.
