Detailed explanation-1: -The problem of traveling upstream was solved during the Industrial Revolution by the steam engine. In 1807, Robert Fulton built the first commercial steamboat. It used steam power to travel upstream. Steamboats were soon used to transport people and goods along rivers throughout the country.

Detailed explanation-2: -The steam engine resulted in the creation of semi-automated factories, and it increased goods production in places where water power was not available. In the 1800s, once coal-fired steam engines had been adapted for use with railways and ships, the international trade of goods and resources expanded tremendously.

Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout the 1800s, steam engines were improved. They became smaller and more efficient. Large steam engines were used in factories and mills to power machines of all types. Smaller steam engines were used in transportation including trains and steamboats.

Detailed explanation-4: -Steam-powered trains could carry much larger amounts of cargo than other forms of transportation, and trains could transport this cargo quickly and cheaply. This allowed for increased trade as well as passenger travel and made it so cities could import and export goods further distances than before.

Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, the invention of steam engine help to make steamer the faster means of water transport.
