How would you make a fantasy Ironclad "go?"

I like the bound Water Elemental angle myself.
Keeps some of the feel of old faerie magick and less like technology.
There are some interesting possible twists possible with a "Water Djinn" bound to serve the Ironclad.

D'oh. The easiest solution eluded me.
That reminds me:
Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary includes a "transforming construct" template that includes a swimmer option. That's a perfect fit.

Ever read The Scar?
Build giant chain. Summon giant whale. Attach chain to whale, hold on tight.

Spelljamming helm. The heck with floating this boat in water. Take it out into the void! 
I would also recommend looking at Bastion Press' Airships. There's several engines in there that may work for you. While designed for use with airships, you might be able to make it work if you'd prefer your ironclad to stick in the water.
Question is - will you name it the Monitor or the Merrimac?

I'm a big fan of the Union (and this the Monitor), but it would definitely be (in technical specification) a lot more like the Merrimac/CSS Virginia - a wooden warship with armor grafted to her hull.
One of my players suggested the Merritor....
