The firebox π₯
In a steam engine, the firebox is the area where the fuel is burned, producing heat to boil the water in the boiler. Most are somewhat box-shaped, hence the name. The hot gases generated in the firebox are pulled through a rack of tubes running through the boiler, then escape through smokebox at the rare of the boiler out the chimney.
Imagine having to fire this on an extreme day π₯΅ that's what our engineer does, fires the old Marshall boiler no matter the weather.
See it in action, everyday: 10.30am, 12pm (through Lock 11) & 2.30pm.

Double-acting Double-expansion Compound steam engine, is a type of steam engine where steam is expanded in two or more stages.
A typical arrangement for a compound engine is that the steam is first expanded in a high-pressure (HP) cylinder, then having given up heat and losing pressure, it exhausts directly into one or more larger-volume low-pressure (LP) cylinders. Multiple-expansion engines employ additional cylinders, of progressively lower pressure, to extract further energy from the steam.
Invented in 1781, this technique was first employed on a Cornish beam engine in 1804.
Experience engineering at the heights of the industrial revolution, watch this beautiful steam engine tick away. And you just can't beat a steam whistle, echoing across town!
Onboard the Paddle Steamer Melbourne everyday; 10am, 12pm (through Lock 11) & 2.30pm.

What a rush!
When the Paddle Steamer Melbourne cruises through Lock 11, did you know 4.5 million litres of water fill the lock chamber in under 5 minutes π³ through huge pipes which are 6 feet x 3 feet wide.
As the water throws the boat around, you get the full experience of this rush!
Experience it every day with us at 12 am for 2 hours. Also cruising at 10am and 2.30pm for our 1.5 hour cruise.
