i dont know where it got the name but a dog clutch has "teeth " cut in the drive part that have corresponding "slots" cut in the driven part. these cannot be engaged silently when rotating so make for a poor choice for automotive applications. a soft or disc clutch has 2 plates, the flywheel and the pressure plate with the disc in the middle, the pressure plate has a spring to engage and disengage giving soft engagement , hope this helps

Info required on Steam Ship "Ayrshire".?

As mentioned, a dog clutch is commonly used in marine outdrive applications, most commonly in smaller (under 300 HP) applications. Some larger units use a cone clutch rather than a dog clutch. It is still pretty harsh, but it is softer than dogs. A true soft clutch is usually either some sort of friction disc or hydraulic like a torque converter in an automatic trans (not used in marine applications)
