I heard once that sailing ships had stoves that could distil water -
presumably from the sea.

Anyone have any clues at all that could point me in the direction of
names and dates for these stoves or associated contrivances?

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at the Brodie stove on board Victory, this had a boiler with
a long pipe passing through a condensor for supplying clean drinking
water from its boilers which held around 250 gallons,

Thanks for that Terry.

This is just the information I've been looking for!

PS sorry this is a late reply. Computer crashed. Reinstalled and
reinstalled. Cdrom packed up. Found an old one that work. Conflict
thought it was with virus scanner and firewall, but it was the cdrom again.
Lot of hair-tearing!
