I think that artwork is little exaggerated. A steamer should be
able to successfully run Cthulhu over.
"There was a mighty eddying and foaming in the noisome brine, and
as the steam mounted higher and higher the brave Norwegian drove
his vessel head on against the pursuing jelly which rose above the
unclean froth like the stern of a demon galleon. The awful
squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of
the sturdy yacht, but Johansen drove on relentlessly." (The Call
of Cthulhu.)
For FT, I think Azathoth would be a more likely belligerent...
