Steam-Yacht
A steam-yacht is a type of yacht that is powered by steam engines. These luxurious vessels were popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily among the wealthy and elite. Steam-yachts were often used for leisurely cruises and pleasure trips, and were equipped with all the amenities and comforts of a high-end hotel. Steam-yachts were typically built with a wooden hull and were powered by one or more steam engines, which turned a propeller to propel the vessel through the water. They were often lavishly decorated and furnished, with spacious cabins, salons, dining rooms, and other amenities. Many steam-yachts also had decks for sunbathing and socializing, and some even had swimming pools. The popularity of steam-yachts declined in the mid-20th century with the advent of more modern and efficient forms of propulsion, such as diesel engines and gas turbines. However, some steam-yachts have been preserved and restored, and are still in use today as luxury charter vessels or museum pieces.
