An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Star of the South was a wooden-hulled, propeller-driven steamship launched in 1853. She was one of the first mechanically reliable and economically profitable propeller-driven steamships. Her success foretold the end of paddlewheel propulsion on ocean-going steamships. She was a success as a commercial freighter, and as an army transport in both the Crimean War and American Civil War. Continuous hard usage during her two wars and technological improvements in shipping, rendered her uncompetitive and she was broken up in 1868.
