Engines of the late Victorian Age

by SpartanOfThePast

I can see the Victorian age as anywhere from 1836-1936. But for this question let's cut it down to 1836-1900. What were engines on large warships like? How did they change from steam, to engines relying on oil? What kind of engines did warships have such as ironclads, monitors, cruisers, and dreadnoughts? Did the majority of them rely on steam-power?

Just to clarify-are you thinking of the changes from coal firing to oil firing? (still steam, also the change from recip. to turbines?
