Paddle craft moved troops without becoming landing craft

Was there a recognizable pre-Second World War paddle-wheel landing craft?

Not as a purpose-built type; small paddle boats were used to carry troops, but they were not landing craft in the later specialized sense.

No purpose-built pre-Second World War paddle landing craft appears in the discussion. Small paddle boats did move troops, but they were improvised transports rather than specialized amphibious warships. That distinction separates a transport function from a recognizable landing-craft design. Paddle propulsion could support the last stage of troop movement without generating a standard landing-craft lineage.
