	JS Online: Ozaukee County diver locates 1864 shipwreck
		Two steam pumps were on the deck of the Mahoning to siphon off water filling the ship's hold after it ran aground near Sheboygan, and salvagers in 1865 recovered one of them.
		There were few brigs that settled on the bottom of Lake Michigan because schooners were the ship of choice throughout most of the 1800s, said Bill Thiesen, director of operations and curator of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc.
		Brigs used square sails that required sailors climbing aloft to stow them, while schooners featured triangular sails and could be handled solely from the deck.

	Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until the application of the steam engine to ships in the early 19th century, oars propelled galleys or the wind propelled sailing ships.
		LNG carriers in particular have remained a stronghold for steam, and new ships continue to be built with steam turbines in this high growth area of shipping.
		It may be that the days of the last stronghold for steam turbine propulsion systems are numbered, despite all but sixteen of the orders for new LNG carriers at the end of 2004 being for steam turbine propelled ships.

		These experiments were carried out to the complete satisfaction of his Lordship and other gentlemen, but the majority of their coproprietors in the canal declined to sanction the use of the tug on the ground that the wash of the paddles would be destructive to the canal banks.
		On October 15 Fulton placed a torpedo across the bows of the brig, and, after a predetermined interval, she was blown in two, completely destroyed and sunk in the presence of a distinguished company of naval and military officers and a large concourse of spectators.
		So soon as the connecting line of the Torpedoes passed the buoy of the brig, they were thrown into the water and carried on by the tide, until the connecting line touched the brig's cable; the tide then drove them under her bottom.

		On the second attempt the Torpedo missed the brig; the explosion took place about one hundred yards from her and threw up a column of water 10 feet diameter, sixty or seventy feet high.
		On the contrary, had he not appeared at all on the scene there is every probability that steam navigation would have arisen, not quite so quickly perhaps, nor yet possibly so successfully, at the hands of one of the most prolific American inventors we refer to Colonel John C. Stevens of Hoboken.
		In July 1809 the Phoenix was taken under her own steam under the command of Robert L. Stevens, son of the Colonel, coastwise to Philadelphia, whence she plied to Trenton on the Delaware River.

	Old Steamboat Days, Chapter 1, Robert Fulton
		The boat was too frail to stand the weight of the engine and boilers and they had broken through the bottom of the craft during an overnight storm and sunk in the river.
		Walmer Castle, hard by, was the residence of Pitt, the Prime Minister, and he and a large number of officers in the navy witnessed the torpedo experiment, which was in a way a success, for the old brig was blown to splinters and sank.
		Livingston, who thus became Fulton’s partner in the development of steam navigation, was one of New York’s most famous men in the early Colonial period.

		The Erie maritime Museum-headquartered in a handsomely rehabilitated former Pennsylvania Electric Company steam generating plant overlooking Lake Erie's picturesque Presque Isle Bay-offers a window into early nineteenth-century America, revealing what frontier maritime life was like, as well as realistically depicting seamanship of the early nineteenth century.
		For instance, a fighting sail deck, an actual working portion of a sailing ship's deck, is replete with mast, spars, and rigging.
		This exhibit area, which fits with ease in the expansive former steam generating plant, enables museum-goers to experience what it is like to work the lines and sails in a way they would otherwise not be able, even when aboard the real Niagara.
