1845. A 17 page pamphlet, "Description of the Fumific Impeller":

An engine designed to work by heat, not machinery. Runs on coal, but far more efficiently than a steam engine.
I think our Tireless Mechanic must have seen this, once...

Awesome! So the guy in question literally designed rocket engine for ships (fumes of combustion propelling the ship directly, via vectored exhaust). There is no way I am imagining SS's Impeller as anything other than a Thing with under-waterline rocket exhaust.
