    A steamboat (aka steamer), is a boat or vessel that is propelled by steam power driving a propeller or paddlewheel. The term steamboat usually refers to smaller steam-powered boats that usually work on rivers and lakes; steamship refers to larger ships capable of ocean travel. Steamships generally carry the ship prefix "SS" before their names. Although paddle steamers are often driven by a steam engine, they are normally counted separately and carry the prefix "PS".
