Nautilus introduced the use of nuclear power for ship propulsion.

Recent advances in ship propulsion have produced new experimental icebreakers.

An important progress was the change of ship propulsion from steam engines to diesel engines.

Mechanical ship propulsion began with the steamship.

Dry sumps are common on larger diesel engines such as those used for ship propulsion.

Straight-nine engines are usually diesel engines used for ship propulsion.

Further activities include the production of diesel engines for various applications, like ship propulsion, and also turbomachinery.

Mechanical ship propulsion began with the steam ship.

The first known example was introduced by Elijah Galloway in 1829 for ship propulsion.

Paraglider-like wings also find other uses, for example in ship propulsion and wind energy exploitation, and are related to some forms of power kite.
