Sleek, fast, smooth and quiet : the Clyde's turbine steamers set new standards and even today could be regarded as the ultimate in excursion ships
Welcome to the Clyde Turbine Steamer Foundation Website
In
1901, TS King Edward, the world's first turbine powered passenger ship entered

Sleek,
fast, smooth and quiet : the Clyde's turbine steamers set new standards and even today could
be regarded as the ultimate in excursion ships
This website remembers these and other excursion
"turbines" and reports on the world's remaining passenger turbine
ships
It also is the central point for information about and developing
interest in the last
ship of her class - TS Queen Mary
