This particular model of Buckeye State paddle steamer is a replica of a paddle steamer built in 1850 which was commissioned to travel between Cleveland and Buffalo. Paddle steamer can be characterised as a steamship or riverboat powered by steam engine that drives paddle wheels. The wheels are of large steel framework, fitted with paddle blades also known as floats or buckets. The ship moves forwards or backwards by rotating the paddle wheels that are powered by the engine.

The history of this kind of transportation dates back to the 4th-5th century, when a first notion of paddle wheels was recorded. The first seagoing voyage of a paddle steamer occurred in 1808 when a ship steamed from Hudson River along the coast to the Delaware River. Sirius, a British built paddle steamer is considered to be the first vessel to cross the Atlantic under sustained steam power. PS Waverley is the last sea-going paddle steamer.
