Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A steam brig is a two masted sailing ship with auxiliary steam engine steam power . The advantage was supposed to be that the ship could sail up wind when it was convenient, and additionally, it could use the steam power to move relative to the wind to obtain a more advantageous angle to the wind. In practice, the disadvantages combined rather than the advantages. The type had great wind resistance, leading to an increased use of fuel up wind compared to a pure steam ship. At the same time, the requirement to store coal reduced the cargo space over that of a sailing ship. It thus combined the slow speed, high maintenance and poor righting ability to resist capsize and wind of a sailing ship with the small cargo space and fuel expense of a steam ship.
