From about 1840 to the 1960s, steam ruled the waves. Most larger vessels were steam-powered but in the past fifty years, steam has given way to diesel or oil-fired vessels. This sets out to catalogue various steamships in existence - from the Cunard liner Queen Mary to Parson's Turbinia, with a variety of vessels of various sizes in between.
