Minus the mass. Those late 19th century coal fired ships with masses always make me laugh. It's like tits on a bull. Even if they did have all of their boilers go out, I wonder exactly how many sailors on those ships would have been experienced enough to get it underway with sails? My guess is, close to zero.
