At one time, the paddle wheel was the only practical form of mechanical propulsion
applied to a boat, but the screw propeller and other modern techniques have superseded
the paddle wheel. Few original paddle steamers remain in existence, and those that
are still functioning are mainly run for historical purposes and tourism. Some paddle
steamers still operate on the Mississippi River and Willamette Rivers in the US and
in the Murray-Darling system in Australia, as do a few in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere in Europe.
