More generally, screw may mean any helical device, such as a clamp, a micrometer, a ship's propeller, or an Archimedes' screw water pump. There is no universally accepted distinction between a screw and a bolt. A simple distinction that is often true, although not always, is that a bolt passes through a substrate and takes a nut on the other side, whereas a screw takes no nut because it threads directly into the substrate (a screw "screws into something", a bolt "bolts several things together").
SS Archimedes fitted with Smith's patented propeller, "Princess Royal", was built in the north of England, and in 1842, several more screw-propelled vessels were built or launched in Britain, including "Bedlington", built at South Shields, "Bee", launched at Chatham, and the largest ship built to that date in Ireland, "Great Northern", launched at Derry. From this point, screw-propelled merchant ships grew rapidly in number. By the time the Cunard Line built the paddle steamer "Persia" for transatlantic service in 1856, the paddlewheel was already becoming an anachronism. Though Smith's "Archimedes" had played an important role in the introduction of screw propulsion, Smith
