Section of Turbine for VATERLAND (LOC)

    Per Google's translation service "vorne" means front, but of what is that the front in the lower left?

    Photo is stamped 19th Feb 1913. Marked Blohm & Voss. More about Blohm + Voss on Wikipedia.

    perfgeek, My suspicion is that "vorne" here is more in the sense of "fore", as in "fore and aft," which describes the axis of a vessel from bow to stern. When parts are constructed for later installation, it is usual to mark or label them to ensure they are installed the right way round. So "vorne" probably indicates that the turbine is to be installed so that the tube facing us is pointing forwards in the ship.

    since the ship was launched 04-03-1913 this must be well before that. This would be one of 4 turbines.

    Turbina famously crashed the party at the 1897 naval review demonstrating the speed possible with turbine engines. See www.btinternet.com/~philipr/Parsons.htm

    Shows what a remarkable vessel she was- not many boats that sustained that much damage at that time in history would have been repaired.
