one capable of crossing an ocean? yes
the ones of this time period were only used for rivers because that is the farthest the early engines could bare to go without stopping

SHEIT!

Crap :eek:

I developed the steamboat the in 1775 because that's when it was properly invented and developed from There.
And about the African colony I just chose that bit because I couldn't get a tiny bit.
But I just used it to generalise where I landed ok?

Yeah, but steamboats in 1781 were tiny, hard to produce, very slow and very prone to failure.

Nigh useless except for maybe novelty.

It's only a tiny little steam engine used on a ship with huge sails.
It's only used in harbours or when wind dies down and it's tiny.

Technically I can still have an early California Gold Rush, since that's not inventing things, right? I mean, finding metal in a river surely isn't an invention.

Indeed it is. However, designs go back to the 1500s of one that looks like one. Any sort of "Fleet" with one will be incredibly stupid financially due to the cost as well as maintenance - how many professional steam engineers do you know in the late 1700s and how many ports do you think can support the construction of one?

You have to rely on the wind most of the time so yes it only pushes it a tiny bit like people are taking it out of proportion....... :palm:

The gold? The pans? I'm New Spain, I control Alta California for him. Did they walk into California and go "all your pans are belong to us"? Surely there's no way he could get all of it either, and if he got any, where's the post?
