Three- she had two colossal triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines powering her port and starboard propellers, each one delivering 16,000 horsepower at a rate of 76 r.p.m. Her central propeller was powered by a smaller steam turbine engine, with the same horsepower output but at a rate of 165 r.p.m.
Other liners at the time, most particularly Cunard lines vessels such as the Mauretania, were equipped with turbine engines as their main power plants. However, the White Star Line had little experience of these and had to settle for older, but provenly reliable, technology.
