They Ignored His Engine — Until One Boat Humiliated The Entire Royal Navy

Описание: In 1897, one small civilian ship outran the entire Royal Navy — and embarrassed Britain's most powerful institution in front of the world.

The vessel was called Turbinia, and the man behind it wasn't a sailor or an admiral — he was an engineer they'd all dismissed as impractical.

This is the story of Sir Charles Parsons, the inventor of the steam turbine — the machine that transformed naval warfare, electrified Britain, and powered an empire. From being rejected by the Admiralty to building the fastest ship on Earth, Parsons proved that precision and mathematics could achieve what pride and politics could not.

His invention reshaped the Royal Navy, fuelled the great liners of the Atlantic, and gave rise to modern power generation. The same principles he developed over a century ago still drive ships, power plants, and turbines today.

Discover how one engineer's obsession with efficiency made Britain unstoppable — and changed the future of industry forever.
