Only the very largest ships were fitted with quadruple expansion engines. This ship seems to be too small for such engines, so in the interests of accuracy should this read TRIPLE Expansion. These latter were the standard MN engines until the coming of the Diesel engine.AT Kunene 123 (talk) 12:47, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
