Thanks for the video. I had not realised how far back the torpedo boats and destroyers went. Older then you think. I found the fact that some boats used railway engines very interesting as the London North Eastern Railway built the experimental locomotive W1 class in 1929 using two Yarrow boilers which were built by the John Brown shipyard. Whatever its benefits as a ships engine they did not translate into a locomotive engine and she was taken into the LNER's Doncaster Works in 1936 and rebuilt with a conventional boiler.
