When wooden ships with sails were replaced by steel ones with steam engines there was initially a shortage of coal for fuel due to the high demand. As a stopgap, the old wooden ships were burned instead. I believe they used to get around 40 miles to the galleon.
 
We should have a "Monday Moaner" section for this one.
 
Good job it's Tuesday here!
