In 1698, English engineer, Thomas Savery patented the first crude steam engine. Savery used his invention to pump water out of a coal mine. In 1712, English engineer and blacksmith, Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine. The purpose of Newcomen's steam engine was also to remove water from mines. In 1765, a Scottish engineer, James Watt began studying Thomas Newcomen's steam engine and invented an improved version. It was Watt's engine that was the first to have a rotary motion. James Watt's design was the one that succeeded and the use of steam engines became widespread.

Steam engines' had a profound effect on the history of transportation. By the late 1700s, inventors realized that steam engines could power boats and the first commercially successful steamship was invented by George Stephenson. After 1900, gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines began replacing the steam piston engines. However, steam engines have reappeared in the last twenty years.
