The Importance of Transport

There are various reasons why developments in transportation affected the industrial revolution as well as vice versa. Arguably changes in transportation contributed to the onset of the industrial revolution in the first place.

Transportation and the Industrial Revolution were strongly inter connected with each other because without improved modes of transportation it would have been harder for the industrial producers of the industrial revolution to produce and then sell their goods to ever wider markets.

At the start of the eighteenth century transportation in Europe was still fairly primitive. Although some European countries had overseas empires transport to and from colonies was slow by sailing ships. There had been no major road construction projects since the end of the Roman Empire; roads were little more than dirt tracks. Frequently it was quicker to transport people, raw materials, and finished products by river than over land on poor roads.
