In first section, important steps in century of engine evolution are reviewed; factors in decline of sail with advance of steam, and limitations of propulsion systems; particulars of one ship per decade are offered to show progress during century; in second half, current problems are evaluated; paper is concerned not so much with engines as with impact of engines upon engineers.
