Decline of Sail as Motors Take Over World Shipping
Washington studies trace the shift from sail to motor vessels from 1787 to 1932. The report notes sailing tonnage rose under presidents and steam surged after Fulton introduced steam power in 1807. By 1840 sailing tonnage neared triple steam, a gap that widened after the Civil War with sail losing supremacy.
