1. Steamship

   A steamship, often referred to as a steamer, is a type of steam-powered vessel, typically ocean-faring and seaworthy, that is propelled by one or more steam engines that typically move (turn) propellers or paddlewheels. The first steamships came into practical usage during the early 1800s; however, there were exceptions that came before. Steamships usually use the prefix designations of "PS" for paddle steamer or "SS" for screw steamer (using a propeller or screw). As paddle steamers became less common, "SS" is assumed by many to stand for "steamship". Ships powered by internal combustion engines use a prefix such as "MV" for motor vessel, so it is not correct to use "SS" for most modern vessels. As steamships were less dependent on wind patterns, new trade routes opened up. The steamship has been described as a "major driver of the first wave of trade globalization (1870–1913)" and contributor to "an increase in international trade that was unprecedented in human history".

1. steamship

   A steamship, also referred to as a steamer, is a type of ship that is propelled primarily by steam power, typically driving propellers or paddlewheels. The steam is produced by an on-board boiler which burns fuel or uses nuclear energy to heat water. Steamships usually use the prefix "SS" before their name. They were widely used in the 19th and early 20th century for both navigation and commerce before being largely replaced by vessels propelled by internal combustion engines.
