Were there steam warships in World War 1?
Many warships of World War I were driven by coal-fueled reciprocating steam engines. The steam turbine was first used in a ship (Turbinia) in 1894 and used for modern warships beginning in 1904. But it did not completely replace the older engines until decades later. The advent of diesel and oil-fired turbines also began around the start of the war in 1914.

How long would 2000 km take with ships?
Naturally, it depends on the ship.Presuming good weather, here are some speed estimates:A classic sailing ship (e.g. the USS Constitution and similar ships, pre-1850) generally averages about 10 knots per hourMore advanced sailing ships (e.g. the Cutty Sark clipper) average 15-17 kt/hModern "fast" oil/steam-powered cargo ships can do 20 kt/h, though most now usually steam around 10 kt/h, to save fuel.Similarly, a typical cruise ship usually can do 22-25 kt/h, but generally steam in the 15-18 kt/h range.Fast combat naval vessels have a top speed between 30 and 35 kt/hOne knot (a nautical mile) is 1.852 kilometers. So, a fast naval vessel could cover 2000km in about 31 hours under ideal conditions.
