wim500 Posted April 24, 2013 Share #224 Posted April 24, 2013 @Brian You can have a look on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_steamer There are two types of paddle steamers: sternwheelers and sidewheelers, both used for rivertrips, but for a more rough sea/water the sidewheeler was used.
