Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bessemer converter, Sheffield industrial Museum This was the first technique for bulk steel production and was superseded by the basically similar BOS process. The last Bessemer converters were at Workington and were blown out in 1974. This is one of those and is outside Sheffield Industrial Museum at Kelham Island. This has some impressive exhibits and is worth a visit for the most powerful surviving steam engine in the UK (12,000 horsepower).
