   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_General_Slocum

   General Slocum was powered by a single-cylinder, surface-condensing vertical-beam steam engine with a 53 inches (1.3 m) bore and 12 foot (3.7 m) stroke, built by W. & A. Fletcher Company of Hoboken, New Jersey. [5]: 3 Steam was supplied by two boilers at a working pressure of 52 pounds per square inch (360 kPa). [7] General Slocum was a ...

6. Smoke deflectors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_deflectors

   Smoke deflectors became increasingly common on later steam locomotives because the velocity of the smoke exiting the chimney had been reduced as a result of efficiency gains obtained by improved smokebox design, such as the Kylchap exhaust and Giesl ejector, [1] and as boilers became larger the size of the chimneys had to be reduced to maintain loading gauge.

   Screw-driven steamships generally carry the ship prefix "SS" before their names, meaning 'Steam Ship' (or 'Screw Steamer' i.e. 'screw-driven steamship', or 'Screw Schooner' during the 1870s and 1880s, when sail was also carried), paddle steamers usually carry the prefix "PS" and steamships powered by steam turbine may be prefixed "TS" (turbine ship).
