[quote user="dknelson"] An interesting discussion. On Google Books I found a publication called The Safety Valve, Vol 8 (evidently a professional journal for persons in the steam boiler profession) which had a page devoted to brief details of various boiler explosions.  By far the most numerous situations were industrial boilers, followed by threshing machines.  Locomotives, traction engines and boats were modest in number by comparison. Dave Nelson <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] The era of the steamboat was a time where their explosions were comonplace, and not well documented. By the time boiler explosions were finally regularly documented, the era of steamboats was over, meaning there would be fewer of these events to be put in the book. Dave, what was the date of publication for this work?                                                                                      -S. Connor
