Paddle boat Report

There are many types of paddle boats. Steam paddle boats, Pedal paddle boats, etc. There are many matters to the design of the paddle boat. The design of the paddle is essential to how much the maximum speed of the boat is. They should not go very fast because the design of the boat will not let it, it will just flip over if it goes to fast. Paddle boats were used as warships for China. They would have a bunch of people in the bottom to pedal the paddles to power their warships. We still use paddle boats today. You can find them at the zoo and hotel resorts and many other places. This is a very fun type of boat. THE END!
