When shoveled into the firebox amongst the coal, the resulting explosion would at the very least damage the boiler and render the engines inoperable. At worst, a catastrophic boiler explosion would kill crewmen and passengers, start a fire, or even sink the vessel.

It was created by Francis LaBarre, a gold and silver worker, and was based on the Vigenère Cipher.
