Скачать или смотреть What Was the First Ship to Use a Diesel Engine?

Short answer: M/S Selandia, Built 1911, maiden voyage 1912.

Now in the strigtest sense Selandia was not the first ship with a diesel engine. It was not even the first oceangoing engine ship as it was preceeded by two years by the Dutch tanker Vulcanus.

It was, however, the first trully large and advanced engine ship that matched the large steamers of the time.

For the time Selandia was an extremely advanced ship that made quite a stur on its maiden voyage as it had no smoke stack and the exhaust was hidden on the mizzenmast.

This gave it the nichname of phantom ship, because people were used to the huge columns of smoke from the steamships.
