I have to disagree. I've cooked a steamship on a spit several times
and it never had a bone in it. The steamship is a rolled and comes
form the hind quarter of beef. It is the meat cut off of the rump and
leg and includes the top sirloin. It's basically from the hip of the
cow and down the leg in one big piece.
