I think all the naptha engines were triples and were tied to the boiler.

Kind of reminds me of a 2 cylinder Olds.

Maybe

That last one is pretty amazing. Props, boilers and steam winches to many to count.

Notice the two men working the shear in the middle of the yard. The props, boilers and winches all look very similar. Wrecking small naval ships or a class of merchant ships built for for WWI perhaps? Interesting to see a proper Atlantic dory in Detroit there.

Just reading the comments and someone says these were from the wooden Ferris class ships broken up there: http://www.cocatrez.net/Water/FerrisShips/FerrisShips.html

Not the only attempt at wooden cargo ships in WWI that was wrecked on the stocks, so to speak.
