Lets put it this way, if they are that selectivly compressed, each one is about
big enough to power a boat 2x the size of a rowboat!
They would be in real life MASSIVE structures, on the order of 15' across each,
and the same high. Small ones like that would likely produce 20-50 HP worth of
steam, not very much...unless you are using them as Aux boilers, then you need
much bigger ones...
On HMCS Anapolis (sorry, my spelling sucks!) the boilers were 3 decks high
(around 30 ft) and 25 by 25 or so, for 12 000 HP of steam each. Ones fitted to
a older ship would be smaller, but there would be more of them. If she was
originally fitted out as a coal burner, then there would be even more of
them...
