Here is a schematic I made for a Triple Expansion Reciprocating Steam Engine. These types of engines were powered by steam generated by large coal-fired boilers. They worked by allowing steam into the cylinders at the top, turning the crankshafts below, which in turn spun the propeller shaft and the propeller on the outer part of the hull. These types of engines were commonly used on the Olympic class (Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic)
