An actual ship...

“A sailor chooses the wind that takes the ship from a safe port. Ah, yes, but once you're abroad, as you have seen, winds have a mind of their own. Be careful, Charlotte, careful of the wind you choose.”
― Avi, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

This is The Turbinia, it was launched 2nd August 1894, it was the first steam turbine powered ship and was the fastest ship in the world at that time. She now sits in Newcastle Discovery Museum, it always amuses me, an actual ship, inside a museum, in the middle of the city....how?
