She was converted to a tugboat, and her steam engines were finally replaced by diesel engines. She served an additional 20 years as a tug, out of Alpena, Michigan. She was scrapped in 1994.

Curtis Randolph (fireboat)
The ''Curtis Randolph'' is a fireboat operated by the Detroit Fire Department. The vessel was launched in 1979, and is named after a young firefighter who died in the line of duty in 1977. Mayor Coleman A. Young commissioned the vessel. According to the Detroit Public Safety Foundation it is the "only Class A fireboat on the waterways between Chicago and Cleveland." The boat can pump 11,000 gallons per minute. The ''Curtis Randolph'' replaced the ''John Kendall'', an older vessel that required a crew of ten, including five men whose sole responsibility was to stoke the steam engines. Detroit's economic decline has eroded the Fire Department's equipment maintenance budget. The ''Curtis Randolph'' was unavailable for much of 2006 due to delays in crucial repairs. On February 19, 2015, Fox News's Detroit station reported that although in previous years the Coast Guard had moved the vessel from its mooring in the Detroit River in October to prevent ice damage, the board still h ...

Steam-powered
A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. This pushing force can be transformed, by a connecting rod and crank, into rotational force for work. The term "steam engine" is generally applied only to reciprocating engines as just described, not to the steam turbine. Steam engines are external combustion engines, where the working fluid is separated from the combustion products. The ideal thermodynamic cycle used to analyze this process is called the Rankine cycle. In general usage, the term ''steam engine'' can refer to either complete steam plants (including boilers etc.), such as railway steam locomotives and portable engines, or may refer to the piston or turbine machinery alone, as in the beam engine and stationary steam engine. Although steam-driven devices were known as early as the aeolipile i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Scanner
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic ...
