- Back in 1769, the Watt steam engine changed everything. They collaborated on the first mode of transportation to make something with even more technology! Boats were the first to take advantage of steam generated power; in 1783, a french inventor named Claude de Jouffroy built the "Pyroscaphe," the worlds first steam boat. Although other inventors tried to make steamships, it was American Robert Fulton who furthered the technology to where it was commercially viable.
- Wow! It looks like steamboats built on to the row boats idea!
- Another mode of land transportation is the locomotive. In 1801, British inventor Richard Trevithick created the worlds first road locomotive! This was called the "puffing devil" and they used it to give 6 passengers a ride to a nearby village. Locomotives were powered by a steam engine.
- Wow! Look at this locomotive!
- Basically, the first navigable submarine was invented in 1620 Dutchman Cornelis Drebble. Drebble's submarine was built for the English royal Navy and could stay submerged for up to 3 hours. The submarine was not used in battle. Finally in 1888, the Spanish Navy launched the "Peral," the first electric, battery powered submarine.
- Wow! The first submarine!
