Ship steam engine starting

Wow, no downsizing here.

I've been on this ship and seen this very engine!
 It's so much better from up close
Those parts are HUGE

thats the engine they used in titanic

This is art. Fascinating!

So clean and in ship-shape!

very nice but intimidating

Built like a Rolex!! Just beautiful! tac Ottawa Valley GRS

Aren't these meant to make a big noise..? or is that only in Battleship? XD

multiplier ha? makes sense...

There's a specific tool used for nuts and bolts this big; it's called a torque multiplier, and it fits onto the drive of some very large ratchets. They use them mostly in earthmovers, but would be equally at home working on these machines

LOOK AT THE size of the nuts !!!! can you say torque wrench? lol

Very clean engine, nice. Looks like someone made a small error measuring the height of the room. and ended up cutting notches in the ceiling beams to accommodate the rods.

The spotless condition of that engine is incredible! You could cook up some Swiss chocolate on the steam chest.

Exactly, right, Générale. Too bad I missed the parade at Morges.

The Wife?

you know... this really does look like a work of mechanical art...

Very nice
