Paddle steamer

Steam-powered vessel propelled by paddle wheels

A paddle steamer is a steamship or steamboat powered by a steam engine driving paddle wheels to propel the craft through the water. Earlier ships that are driven by a paddle wheel under manual power are known as paddle wheelers. In the early 19th century, paddle wheels were the predominant way of propulsion for steam-powered boats.
