By: Erica Seeberg + Sarah Selzer
What are some advantages of steamboats?
-Could travel over water unlike other means of transportation.
-It would be nice and quiet because there won't be that many people on the steamboat.
Why are they so bad?
-They can be really dangerous because of the pressure in the engines. people had to estimate the level of pressure an engine could handle, but sometimes they estimated wrong. and it would cause an explosion.
-Taking these boats would be very expensive.

How did they come to be?
Robert Fulton made a boat called The Clermont that traveled from New York to Albany making big history in America.
