Could a ship carry a blast furnace?

Feasibility depends on the furnace's scale; a tentative recollection about Vulcan does not settle the question.

Question

Is a ship-mounted blast furnace viable?

Short answer

Feasibility depends on the furnace's scale; a tentative recollection about Vulcan does not settle the question.

Notes

The question does not specify the furnace's size or required output. Vulcan is suggested from memory as a possible relevant workshop ship. That recollection does not establish that it carried a blast furnace of the kind intended. The lack of clarification leaves the technical feasibility question unresolved.
