FROM SAIL TO STEAM

Naval Engineering

· 100 Years Ago

For engineers in the Royal Navy! the year 1937 marks the centenary of more than one interesting ́de- Ivelopment in their branch of the Service, Engineers in 1837 were raised from the position of civilians to the rank of warrant officers, and for the Arst time the engineering branch had representative at Whitehall. Because of the Post

Office steam packets being placed under the Admiralty the number of steam vessels in the Navy List was almost doubled, and on August 8. 1837, the first steam frigate. HMS. Gorgon, was launched at Pembroke.

Steam vessels had first appeared in the Navy List in December, 1827, when the names of the Echo, Lightning, and Meteor were in- cluded; by December, 1836, there were some 29 such vessels shown, Including the earliest steam war vessels, the Rhadamanthus, Dee Phoenix, Salamander, and Medea, the last of which in 1837 was do- ing excellent work in the Mediter- ranean. Several other steam ves- sels were engaged in carrying the mails from Falmouth to Malta, Alexandria, and elsewhere. It was partly the good service given by these ships that led to the Admir- alty being made responsible for the cross-channel mail service. "The Times" of December 20, 1836, quoting from the "Observer,” noted that "all the necessary arrange- ments for transferring to the Board of Admiralty the packet establishment of the Post Office have been finally completed and the transfer will immediately take place."
