What kinds of transportation was used in the seventeen-hundreds?

In the 1700s, transportation primarily relied on horse-drawn vehicles, such as carriages and wagons, for land travel. Rivers and canals were crucial for moving goods, with flatboats and barges commonly used. Additionally, ships sailed the seas and navigated rivers for trade and travel, employing wind power for propulsion. The development of roads, though limited, began to improve during this period, facilitating overland transportation.
