Ever take a look at the Titanics engines?

Triple expansion and the final exhaust went to a low pressure steam turbine at around 12 PSI and around 180 degrees...If I remember right.

All the steam ship were converted to oil and as far as I know..every one of the liberty ships were powered by triple expansion steam engines.

Steam powers the world. It just isnt in the form of running engines.

I doubt anyone here can define an engine vs a motor.

The Titanic did not have turbines. It was strictly piston.
