Ware Steam Wagon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ware Steam Wagon was the first self-propelled American vehicle to be manufactured for export,[citation needed] produced from 1861 to 1867 by Elijah Ware of Bayonne, New Jersey. In 1866 one of his vehicles was shipped to Rustico, Prince Edward Island, where it had been ordered by Catholic priest Georges-Antoine Belcourt. Unlike other steam powered contraptions of the time, this did not run on a rail system.
