SS Great Eastern
She also had six masts (said to be named after the days of a week – Monday being the fore mast and Saturday the spanker mast), providing space for of sails (7 gaff and max. 9 (usually 4) square sails), rigged similar to a topsail schooner with a main gaff sail (fore-and-aft sail) on each mast, one "jib" on the fore mast and three square sails on masts no. 2 and no. 3 (Tuesday & Wednesday); for a time mast no. 4 was also fitted with three yards. In later years, some of the yards were removed. According to some sources she would have carried . This amount of canvas is obviously too much for seven fore-and-aft sails and max. 9 square sails. This (larger) figure of sail area lies only a few square metres below that the famous Flying P-Liner "Preußen" carried – with her five full-rigged masts of 30 square sails and a lot of stay sails. Setting sails turned out to be unusable at the same time as the paddles and screw were under steam, because the hot exhaust from the five (later four) funnels would set them on fire. Her maximum speed was 24 km/h (13 knots).
Tegetthoff-class battleship
Differences between the three battleships constructed in Trieste and the one in Fiume were most apparent when examining each ship's propulsion. "Szent István" differed from the other ships in that she possessed two shafts and two Parsons steam turbines, while the propulsion of "Viribus Unitis", "Tegetthoff", and "Prinz Eugen" each had four. These turbines were housed in a separate engine-room and powered by twelve Babcock & Wilcox boilers. They were designed to produce a total of , which was theoretically enough to attain a maximum designed speed of . While it was reported during the speed trials of "Tegetthoff" that she attained a top speed of , the actual top speed of the "Tegetthoff"-class ships is unknown as the sea trial data and records for each ship were lost after the war. Each ship also carried of coal, and an additional of fuel oil that was to be sprayed on the coal to increase its burn rate. At full capacity, the "Tegetthoff"s could steam for at a speed of .
