The smaller boat, which is travelling downstream, is moving very fast, driven by the large water sails on either side and is thereby hauling the larger boat upstream against the current. [4] The large barge in the picture has two, side-mounted water wheels that coil up the cable and increase its speed further.
Then in 1900, Cunningham sent Bonser down to Victoria to design a sternwheeler. This would become the Hazelton, and under Bonser's command she soon proved to be superior to the other boats on the Skeena. In her first season, she went to Hazelton thirteen times, making the trip upstream in forty hours and downstream in ten.
This is a table of river distances of various locations along the Murray River upstream from Echuca, Victoria and Mannum, South Australia, arguably the two most important river ports in the steamboat era. Negative values indicate distances downstream.

With a draft of 4 feet (1.2 m), she was propelled by a high-pressure, horizontally mounted engine turning a single stern paddlewheel. [12] In the spring of 1817, the Washington made the voyage from New Orleans to Louisville in 25 days, equalling the record set two years earlier by the Enterprise, a much smaller boat. [17] [18]
Sailing downstream (with the current of up to 15 kn (17 mph; 28 km/h), immediately before the flood season) Carlotto descended from Chongqing to the mouth of the gorges in less than two days, clocking at 26 kn (30 mph; 48 km/h), then, in mid-November, she descended more slowly from Hankou to Shanghai alongside the Italian cruiser Libia. [15]
The new boat was 56 ft (17.1 m) long, 18 ft (5.5 m) wide and 8 ft (2.4 m) depth, with a wooden hull. The boat was built by John Allan and the engine by the Carron Company. The first sailing was on the canal in Glasgow on 4 January 1803, with Lord Dundas and a few of his relatives and friends on board. The crowd were pleased with what they saw ...
