First Steamship Crosses Atlantic Using Liquid Fuel
The British tanker Clam, under Captain Evans and owned in London, became the first steamship to cross the Atlantic powered by liquid fuel rather than coal. Departing Gravesend on November 28 with 4500 tons of oil and an equal amount for its own consumption, she landed in the Delaware River with fuel oil largely exhausted. The ship uses a steam generator to atomize oil and feed furnaces, with a fire brick combustion chamber and one injector per furnace. Evans notes liquid fuel benefits distant coal regions and costly transport, especially on routes between the U S East Coast and South America.
