SECTION 1 Improvements in Transportation Watt’s Steam Engine • Need for cheap, convenient power spurs development of steam engine • James Watt improves steam engine, financed by Matthew Boulton • Boulton an entrepreneur—organizes, manages, takes business risks Water Transportation • Robert Fulton builds first steamboat, the Clermont, in 1807 • England’s water transport improved by system of canals Road Transportation • British roads are improved; companies operate them as toll roads NEXT
