Steam Machines: Steamboats, Automobiles and Locomotives

The Watt steam engine, invented in 1769, changed everything and boats were among the first to use steam-generated power. In 1783, Claude de Jouffroy built the world's first steamship, though it did not receive enough funding to continue development. Robert Fulton further advanced steamship technology, making it commercially viable, such as with his 1807 trip of the Clermont from New York to Albany in 32 hours. In 1769, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot invented the first automobile by adapting a steam engine to a vehicle, though it was too heavy and slow. Later attempts also adapted steam engines to other vehicles, like the 1867 Roper steam Velocipede considered the first motorcycle.
