Question

What power was used by early ships and how was this different from the power used in ships of the 19th century?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first ships that were built using steam power began to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Steamships used a combination of wind and steam power to move.The key to machine-powered ships was the creation of a more efficient steam engine. Early engines were powered by steam at normal sea-level atmospheric pressure (approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch), which required very large cylinders.

Answer 2

Answer:

Early boats used the muscle power of rowers , while sail boats used wind power . Now steam ships used this power in engines fitted in their ships.
