Life has had it s challenges, however certain inventions like the steam engine helped make it even easier. It took many people to invent, create, research or make the steam engine better, which in turn gave us a great ability and means to get stuff done. We were able to celebrate, and even take joy in this new age, the age of the steam engine. This I believe is one of the worlds best inventions, It has a lot to do with the advancement of technology and played a role in what determines who we are, what we are, and what we were. It has taken us a long time to have this as a luxury. Steam boats even play a role in future technology where they are tested by scientist s to improve on itself. Steam engines were used from making cars run, to trucks, boats, and even trains. Locomotives were very popular in history and continues to be an object of history. The steam engine has played a big role in past and present daily life. You might just see what it meant for past life to have had steam engines and its bringing to modern life, in a museum. Many people contributed to the advancement and uses of Steam Power. It took many forms; uses in cars, trucks, boats, and even trains. The steam engine works by harvesting power from steam during the evaporation of water. With the pressure that it generates from boiling water, giving it a way to transport. People than relied on steam power for many uses. From cooking to the means of traveling, or in science. People have been seen traveling using steam power. People needed a way of getting around and they were given this invention, which was used in everyday life. This invention was seen in automobiles, boats and trains. You have heard many story s about life on the Mississippi river with steamboats covering the whole river, these people partying on those boats. Or from when trade was being transported. Transportation of our goods, livestock, or other resources. This gave life to daily culture, influenced them in many ways, even gave them jobs. Steamboats were seen all around the world. It was a breakthrough in not only technology, but in the way the world got around. The steam engine harvested power, and gave this force to men. The used it to get things done. From when horses and carriage were replaced by automobiles. Automobiles thrived on steam power. Since then cars helped people get around. The first one was invented by Nicholas Joseph Cugnot who had built a military tractor. This helped the army transport its artillery. Only going 2.5 miles an hour, And having to stop every 15 minutes to create more steam. This led Nicholas to devise a four passenger vehicle or tricycle. He crashed his invention into a stonewall. He was also the first person to get into a motor vehicle accident. In the 1800 s people were using stagecoaches to get around in Britain. A later boom in the United States influenced life there. These coaches helped people get around everywhere. These were not the only vehicles out though, there were electric cars too. Trucks also took the advantages of steam power. Trucks used to carry work loads, they used steam power to get this work done, therefore making it possible. We employed steam power to trucks, helping with the work load. These vehicles live on, sometimes you can find one. The were made all the way into the nineteen hundreds. An example of some are buses, milk delivery trucks, and army vehicles. Dump trucks that were equipped with steam engines helped them do their job. When trash was put out, Steam Engines helped them get the job done. From the time of its invention, many of the delivery trucks carried steam engines. Old delivery trucks relied on the steam engine to get their shipments to their destination. Steam engines equipped buses to help traveling passengers. This power brought them to wherever they wanted to go. Either for jobs or for getting around. By means of being economical, owners shouldn't have had fear of being to expensive. And was probably very earth friendly since the pollution output then was lower than it its now. Since the invention of the steam train, transportation between different lands had been made possible. From distributing coal, passengers or other resources, life would benefit and reap its reward. Commercial travel was a big thing when it came to business. This is how we managed to do business. Steam trains stem all the way to roman times where they used steam trains on tracks. They used this to get there goods across their city. Once tracks were seen all over England, The first steam train was seen in South Wales. An inventor Richard Trevithick had made one to demonstrate the importance of a steam train in transportation of coal from a cold mined in 1804. After this the steam train took on freight and other necessary things they need exported or imported that needed it s transportation. Steam engines help the creation of the steam locomotive, a type of train. There were trains here that went way faster and got to there destination in a shorter time than previous travel. The locomotives could haul both passengers and freight for great distances across the country. This made the country more mobile, and help run certain jobs. of the steam train, trains in history. Boats carried many people over seas. Before we used either wind power that made it a long trip. Or we also used to use man power. Big ships were navigated around by man power. Maybe a hundred or more, rowed depending on the size of the ship. After Steam Boats were created, Steam Engine power helped out. Steamboats had many people working on it to perfect it. The first documented steamboat was William Henry's. In 1769 John Watt got a patent for his version of the steamboat. Later John Finch had a 45' steamboat which he later got a patent of it in 1791. According to a website the first practical steamboat was demonstrated by Marquis Claude Francois de Jouffroy d'Abbans, it was a paddle wheel steamboat. These were inventors of the steamboat and furthering the steamboats progress in advancing it's technology. Once built, it took part and influences how we transported things or ourselves. Pushing the boundaries, the steamboat helped us with life. It gave many contributions to the people who got help from this invention. It had made Transportation faster and more reliable than before. Vast amounts of people enjoyed riding these ships across the face of the world. Either, on business, just traveling or visiting family, transportation was a smooth ride. Ships also had to deal with importing and exporting goods. The Steam Engine gave life to The Rowena Ferry. The Rowena was owned and operated by William Lair in 1848, J.A. Vaughn 1901-1919, and Dr. M.M. Lawrence in 1920. The Rowena Ferry being a Ferry Service bring transportation for livestock, wagons, and tobacco owners. Steam boats had promoted business, commercial transportation, and regular transportation. Helped to combat fires too. The steam engine was used to fight fire, This fire fighting machine used steam power to put fires out. It wasn t all steam powered though, this was fire truck was drawn by horse. In Conclusion, the steam engine has helped build this country and played its role in lives of past civilizations. From its invention, promotion, use, and even today, where steam engines are running loose very close by, The steam engine has taught us a lot and has helped us grow . It has helped build character for people, knowing their history and this great invention. There was a lot of competition in times of the steam engine. As a result, the steam engine might have molded society, and therefore becoming our prize possession. Whether from the old steam engines of the 1800 s or of modern times where we have super heated steam powered rocket cars, its always a nice thing to explore. It may also be a necessity, where one still depends on this form of power to go about daily obstacles. porting goods. The Steam Engine gave life to The Rowena Ferry.
