Steam clippers were sailing ships that had a steam engine amidships to be used in the absence of wind. They were also able to maneuver around a harbor easier than a sailing vessel. There were several steam clippers of note. A link is posted to one of the more famous ones, a vessel that went down with a huge treasure aboard.

Steam turbine engine for oil tanker?

A steam turbine engine for an oil tanker is a propulsion system that converts thermal energy from steam into mechanical energy to drive the ship's propellers. This type of engine typically uses a boiler to generate steam from water, which is then expanded through turbines to produce rotational motion. Steam turbines are known for their efficiency and ability to operate at high power levels, making them suitable for large vessels like oil tankers. However, they require significant infrastructure for fuel and water management, and are increasingly being replaced by more modern propulsion systems, such as diesel engines and gas turbines.
