Fascinating picture. Anyone know what the wind turbine was for - bilge pump, or below decks ventilation?

The wind turbine is most likely for a electric generator, atleast in some ships of the same age.

John Hughes said:
Yes, electric generator I think it must be. I was recently reading how Nansen had one installed aboard Fram on his drift across the north polar ice-cap in the 1890s.

Interesting. Maybe as oil becomes scarce there again will be ships propelled by sail, with wind and solar generators to power the automatic rigging systems, navigation, etc.
