SS Greater Detroit’s sister ship, SS Greater Buffalo had a three cylinder compound steam engine.
According to the web site, Historic Detroit. Org, SS Greater Detroit had the same three cylinder compound steam engine as SS Greater Buffalo, https://historicdetroit.org/buildings/greater-detroit.
Due to the pitch and roll of the marine environment, Corliss engines weren’t used on ships..
Therefore, SS Greater Detroit’s Wikipedia account is the Only steam powered ship with a Corliss Engine??
