Steamships were largely replaced by diesel-powered ships, which offered greater efficiency, speed, and range. The transition to diesel engines allowed for more reliable operations and reduced the cost of fuel and maintenance. Additionally, advancements in technology, such as containerization and improved ship design, further revolutionized maritime transport, making it more efficient and capable of handling larger cargo volumes.

No, the Lapita people did not build steamships. They were an ancient Pacific Islander culture known for their advanced seafaring skills and pottery, flourishing between approximately 1600 BCE and 500 BCE. Their vessels were primarily canoes made from wood and other natural materials, designed for navigating the open ocean, but they did not have the technology to create steamships. Steam-powered ships were developed much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I have seen model steamboats that sit on top of my desk (about 12" long) and I have sailed on steamships that are 1000 feet long.
The antonym of alee is aweather. Both words went out of use following the introduction of steamships. Alee means in the downwind direction; helm alee ! is the commonest usage. Aweather means in the upwind direction.
Steamships (APEX)
Steamships did not completely stop operating at a specific point in time, but their prominence declined significantly with the advent of diesel and electric-powered vessels in the mid-20th century. By the 1950s and 1960s, most commercial and passenger steamships had been replaced by more efficient engines. However, some steamships continued to operate for specific purposes, such as tourism and museum displays, well into the 21st century. Today, steam-powered vessels are primarily found in niche markets and as historical attractions.

Steamships primarily use coal as their fuel, particularly in the early 20th century. However, many modern steamships utilize oil, such as heavy fuel oil or diesel, to generate steam for propulsion. The choice of fuel depends on the ship's design, operational requirements, and availability. Some steamships may also use alternative fuels, like biomass or natural gas, as technology evolves.
