    First pic: Hercules. All-Saito steam plant and hull. Running denatured alcohol.

    Second pic: Hercules and scratch-built side-wheeler, U.S.S. Planter, also running live steam on denatured alcohol.

    USS Planter was a steamer taken over by Robert Smalls, a Southern slave and ship's pilot who steered the ship past Confederate defenses and surrendered it to Union Navy forces on 13 May 1862 during the American Civil War.

    I also think it's very realistic, I like how it cuts through the waves and how the smoke comes out of that smokestack.

    Amazingly realistic - too many steam plants and faux smoke generators are not this realistic.
