During the 18th Century, sailing ships made the journey from Europe to America. However, they were at the mercy of the weather and journey times could vary from 14 days to four weeks, and people increasingly looked towards steam propulsion as a means of overcoming the problems of sail. The first paddle-steamer to make a long ocean voyage crossing the Atlantic Ocean set out for Liverpool on May 22, 1819, sighting Ireland after 23 days at sea. In mid 19th Century, a number of paddle-steamers were crossing the Atlantic, but became much less useful after the invention of the screw propeller. Stock Photo
