Artifact Overview
This ten-horsepower vertical steam engine was likely among the last manufactured by Armington & Sims of New England before the company's bankruptcy. Advanced for its time, the engine's oversquare five-inch bore and three-inch stroke allowed it to operate at speeds up to 400 r.p.m. Reportedly, the engine was built for a yacht that was never completed.
