Build a Paddle Wheel Boat

In the past paddle wheel boats were large ships. They used a paddle wheel which propelled the vessel through the water. These paddle wheel boats used a steam engine to turn the paddle wheel . The paddle wheels were mounted one of two ways. The stern wheeler ship has a single wheel on the rear. The side-wheeler has the paddle wheel mounted on the side. These types of paddle wheel boats can still be seen in use in the United States for tourist reasons.
