  Re: Boilers
 
Do any part of the boilers in a capital ship of the mauve decade protrude above waterline? Maybe you should just suggest the top of the boilers on the lowest deck? And why is this cross posted to Pirates?? :-) (25 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Boilers
 
(...) Yeah, I figured they were way too small for a ship by themselves--my thought was to install a dozen or so (for a whopping 180 BHP)...but the problem with the three-deck model is that the ship isn't full-hull, it's waterline.

(...) Oh, I would say they look _great_ as far as a small boiler goes...in fact, they look a lot like a boiler I may get the chance to help retube at school...but it supplies steam to a 15 BHP engine...so not all that much power...and our steam car (...)
