Transcription: Paddle Boat During the 1800s, steam-powered paddle boats were the most popular form of transportation along the Mississippi River. At one time there were over 9,000 boats used along the river. Paddle steamers became less needed when the railroads were completed. Now there are only five genuine paddle boats left in the United States.
