Is a ship-mounted blast furnace viable?
Short answerFeasibility depends on the furnace's scale; a tentative recollection about Vulcan does not settle the question.
NotesThe 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.
