About This Tool

Launched in 1912, the world’s first diesel ocean-going ship, Selandia, was the world’s first diesel-powered ship, which, in comparison to other ships, was entirely fuelled by diesel rather than diesel as an auxiliary fuel. In addition, the random tool recorded information on 33 ships, also published in 1912, for further reference. At the time, diesel-powered ships were the hottest new models, and many countries prided themselves on mastering diesel-powered shipbuilding.

In the same year, the ships stored in the generators, details including the ship’s release date, from the country, Builder and location, ship name, ship’s class and type, and final release are detailed in this list. We can see that in 1912, most of these ships were turned into military ships, most of which were put into naval battle equipment of various countries, to buy time for the victory of the war.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of ship launches in 1912.
