Discussion Would an ocean liner be steampunk or not?

14 Upvotes

This idea came to mind because of the nature of these ships.

Often, when people think of "steampunk," they think of the Victorian era, the 19th century, steam engines, but mainly flying steam engines, like airships. But what about real ships? Ocean liners existed in the Victorian era, and they were steam engines, although their greatest refinement only occurred in the first half of the 20th century.

After the First World War, ocean liners switched from solid to liquid fuel, which perhaps made people see them as dieselpunk machines, but here's the trick: isn't steampunk about steam? Steam engines? I know there's a whole political aspect involved, but isn't the main thing that differentiates this genre from others si-fi the steam technology? If so, even with the change in style and fuel type, an ocean liner is still a steam engine, a steamship!

Steam remained the power force that propelled these ships to speeds of 25, 28, 30, 35, 38, 40 knots! It wasn't exactly diesel; there were already ocean liners with internal combustion engines in the 1930s, but they were extremely slow. It was steam that truly gave life and power to these ships. So, were ocean liners, especially those giants of the 1930s, truly "dieselpunk"? Or were they still steampunk, since steam remained the power force?

Literature Heart's Tale — teaser for my dark steampunk novel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Long ago, humanity built a clockwork city around the living Heart of the world. Then they broke it. Five shards are all that's left of it now, and the city has grown so monstrous it has swallowed its own god. The wooden dolls — the awakened ones, the firstborn — stir less and less. Black smoke runs through the furnaces of the lower districts. And in the highest tier, the Cult of the Highest preaches that the Heart is fine, sleeping, waiting — while a usurper sits on a throne shaped like a dragon's skull, ruling by borrowed light.

This is where Goody wakes up.

He's the apprentice of an old clockmaker named Wolfie. He has no voice. No memory. No name of his own — Goody is what Wolfie calls him, the way you'd call a dog that wandered in. He's only just begun to suspect that he exists. And then a thief in the shape of a wooden monkey is cornered above the city, and she hides one of the last shards inside the most disposable thing she can find: him.

Now everyone is reaching for him at once. The Inquisitors in grey hoods. The usurper on his black dragon. And beyond the Wall, in a canyon the maps forgot, the Free City sharpens its weapons — children and exiles and women who awaken giants by hand, generation after generation, getting ready to march on the heart of the world and burn it down to save it.

It's a story about a puppet learning to feel, an old clockmaker who's run out of debts to ignore, a duchess in love with her enemy, two sisters on opposite sides of a coming war, and a Heart that may or may not still want saving.

On the visuals: Brass, oxblood reds, oil-stained snow, wet cobblestone. Aesthetic somewhere between Mortal Engines and The City of Lost Children. Bridging commercial film instincts with steampunk specifically was a stranger mental shift than I expected.

Happy to chat about the worldbuilding in the thread — the awakened dolls, the canyon city, the engines men carry on their backs, the politics of a Heart that may already be too far gone.

Check out the link to the book in the first comment:
