By the late 1700’s steamboats and railways were on the horizon. By 1804 the first steam locomotive was being tested. In 1807 steam was first applied to power boats. By the 1830’s an explosion of railroad growth started covering Europe and North America, it would continue to grow until its zenith in 1924. By 1852 Gifford had traveled 17 miles on a steam powered dirigible airship. In 1871 the Cable-Car Street Railway vehicle was perfected. In 1886 Gottlieb Daimler Drive the first automobile.
