Answer 1

The steamboat is the "Guayas", built in Guayaquil.

Built in 1841 in the shipyards of Guayaquil, the ship was named after the Guayas River, which played a vital role in the country's commerce and development. The "Guayas" was a side-paddle steamer equipped with auxiliary sails, representing a blend of imported British steam technology and Ecuadorian craftsmanship. It was designed for both river and coastal navigation.
