Final answer:

The first steamer to cross the Atlantic was the SS Savannah. The ship was constructed in 1818 by Fickett & Crockett, a shipbuilding company based in New York.

Explanation:

  • The ship was constructed in 1818 by Fickett & Crockett, a shipbuilding company based in New York. Captain Moses Rogers requested that it be converted to a steamer during construction by Savannah-based shipping business Scarborough & Isaacs in order to offer the first transatlantic steamship service ever.
  • In addition to the usual complement of sails, Rogers directed the construction of a steam engine and paddles. She also possessed 16 cabins and 32 passenger berths.
  • President James Monroe visited her after a brief sea trial in New York Harbor and a lengthy voyage under sail alone down the Atlantic coast to her home port of Savannah. He went on a short excursion up to Tybee Lighthouse and then returned on board. The idea of employing the ship as a cruiser to fight Cuban pirates thrilled him, so he invited William Scarborough, the ship's owner, to take her back to Washington on her long journey.
