Caird & Co. also supplied her engines and boilers. Length 330'7"; beam 38'1"; depth 15'1". ''Mona's Isle'' had accommodation for a crew of 56, and was certificated to carry 1,561 passengers. Her engines developed 4,500 i.h.p. which gave her a service speed of 18 knots. The engines were quite remarkable for their day. The oscillating engine had slowly developed from low pressure jet condensing with all the demerits that salt water intake involved, to higher pressure surface condensing that was the forerunner of the turbine circulating system. These were the first high pressure engines of this type to be adopted by the Steam Packet Company. They worked at a boiler pressure of 90lbs p.s.i. The stroke was 90 inches with the high pressure cylinder 65 inches in diameter and the low pressure cylinder 112 inches. The low pressure cylinder was said to be larger and heavier than any other fitted to a paddle steamer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Mona's Isle (1882)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
