Turbinia, First Steam-turbine ship.

Fastest ship in world 1894. 34.5 knots (63.9 kph; 39.7 mph).

Charles Algernon Parsons’ steam turbine powered *Turbinia* at speed, photographed in 1897/1898.United States public domain.

The steamship *Mauretania* was an ocean liner designed by Leonard Peskett and built by Wigham Richardson and Swan Hunter for the British Cunard Line in 1906. The *Turbinia*, alongside, was the first steam turbine-powered steamship; built as an experimental vessel in 1894. This image is in the **public domain** in the United States. Published 1911 in Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 24, pg. 887, Plate VI.
