		That was the pressure at which the steam was exhausted from the cylinder, but all during the stroke the back side of the piston was under the least pressure that it was possible to obtain, that of steam at the temperature of the cooling seawater, and hence less than 1 psia.
		The condenser is the reverse of the boiler.
		With steam of higher pressure and temperature at the beginning of the stroke, but of the same low pressure and temperature as early engines at the end of the stroke, the cylinder and piston had to be reheated at the start of each stroke, wasting steam heat as the Newcomen engine had done.

		Steam is a capacious reservoir for energy because of water's high heat of vaporization.
		Condensation of steam to water often occurs at the low-pressure end of a steam turbine, since this maximises the energy efficiency, but such wet-steam conditions have to be carefully controlled to avoid excessive blade erosion.
		After gaseous steam has intermixed with air, it is no longer properly called steam and is instead referred to as water vapor.

		After the development of pressurized steam technology, the next major advance was to the use of double-acting pistons, with pressurized steam admitted alternately to each side while the other side is exhausted to the atmosphere or to a condenser.
		For a period of the crank cycle steam is admitted and the poppet inlet are then closed, allowing continued expansion of the steam during the downstroke.
		Steam locomotives are especially advantageous at high elevations as they are not especially adversely affected by the lower atmospheric pressure.

	From Sail to Steam on the New Zealand Run
		Although the majority of locally registered ships up to World War I were sailing ships and their total tonnage remained significant into the 1900’s, the greater capacity of steam ships for frequent and regular passages saw Steam activity predominating over Sail in the coastal trades before 1880 even when judged by numbers of ships.
		When coastal shipping is measured in terms of the tonnage of shipping movements, Steam was already predominant over Sail in 1880 by a large margin, reflecting the ability of even steam ships of quite primitive capability by modern standards to out-perform a fleet of sailing ships of similar tonnage.
		Steam competition was limited compared with the coastal trades until developments in the efficiency of steam engines gave them a sufficient margin over Sail on longer routes, for major developments also occurred in the capacity and efficiency of sailing ships for the long-distance bulk trades right into the 1900’s.

	Steamboat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1736 Jonathan Hulls took out a patent in England for a Newcomen engine-powered steamboat, but it was the improvement in steam engines by James Watt that made the concept feasible.
		Meanwhile, Patrick Miller of Dalswinton, near Dumfries, Scotland, had developed double-hulled boats propelled by cranked paddlewheels placed between the hulls, and he engaged the engineer William Symington to built his patent steam engine into a boat which was successfully tried out on Dalswinton Loch in 1788, and followed by a larger steamboat the next year.
		By 1870, a number of inventions, such as the screw propeller and the triple expansion engine made trans-oceanic shipping economically viable.

		When smoke is trailing to the rear, vessel is Under Steam; when smoke trails forward ship is in Reverse; and when wire is removed from stack, ship is All Stop.
		If a ship in reverse chooses to make a turn instead of going back straight 1/2, this ends its movement for the turn, as ships in reverse are entitled to 1/3 movement and turns cost 1/3 movement.
		Note: Because of the mandatory 1/3 move straight-ahead for ships under steam, it is possible for friendly ships, to collide if they are operating too close together at converging angles.

	The transition from Sail to Steam (Site not responding. Last check: )
		However, the most casual comparison between the numbers of ships recorded by the two agencies for national fleets with the numbers registered in those countries is sufficient to indicate that large numbers of small ships, both sail and steam, are not covered by any of the series shown in the graph.
		Net tonnage is the fairer indication of carrying capacity for, as a general rule of thumb, sailing ship net tonnages are within a few percent of the gross while net tonnage averages only about 67% of the gross for steam ships during this period.
		An irony is that by the 1890s a major trade for sailing ships was the international carriage of coal – which played a role in the world economy much like petroleum today – of which a major part was for the bunkers of the steam ships that displaced them.

		When the Commador Perry opened the ports of Japan after the period of Isolation, he came on steam ships, called "kisen" in Japanese.
		There was a phrase, then about "kisenjo" or the "steam rising." And so there became a way of drinking tea that was a metaphor for the ships coming in to the port.

		Although paddle steamers are often driven by a steam engine, they are normally counted separately and carry the prefix "PS".
		These were suitable to calm river and coastal shipping, but could not cross oceans as the paddle wheels would be swamped by waves and the amount of coal necessary would take up most of the ship.
