Great idea. I can use extra money. Maybe I can create a therapy type video for people like you who are scared of ships propellers, show the propeller turning and play calming music rather than Death Metal type music and avoid showing pictures and sounds of the Titanic with people screaming as the ship sinks into a freezing ocean at night. Think it will be successful?
@@emsfra7412 Todays ships are very safe compared to the Titanic era. Wash your hands frequently to avoid contamination from others. You've heard of the Noroviruses? Here's how to avoid it: www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/norovirus/norovirus.htm
If you stop the video at 1:50 you can see the depth of the hull written in feet. If you figure the prop is 3-4-5 feet out of the water and another 2-4 feet in the water to the center shaft, then double it for the diameter of the propeller, that small propeller might be 6-8-10-12 feet in diameter.
It ain't a very big screw, so i doubt they're doing it to dynamically load the bearings. More like they're demonstrating the steam engines or something which would explain them running it dead slow. But interesting fact!
Steam engines have to be warmed up before they can be put under load, especially expansion engines like this. Dead slow astern is the easiest way to do it without stress on dock lines and equipment.
I was trying to figure it out was a bit confused I know it couldn't be the main engine turning the prop at such a slow pace so I think you may be correct
In answer to your question to the viewers, I am from Australia and after watching another you tube film an excellent showed an old cargo ship in 1926 sailing up a Bay Area and you can clearly see it’s propellor turning partly out of the water, this film is in wonderful condition especially as it is 95 years old, if anybody is interested look at “the open road a motor car trip from Cornwall via Wales to Scotland in 1926 (in colour!)” the ships propellor turning is at @23.16, also remarkable footage ofBritain and the car itself looks like it’s Vauxhall from the era and notice that the car does not have any front brakes at that time! Even Chevrolet didn’t have front brakes in Australia until 1928, and the reason I came across this USS Jerramiah film is because it interests me on old ships and their propellors and sngines
This is called rocking the engine, Its done to warm up the engine before leaving....This is a 2500 HP Worthington engine.Magnificent ship, you can hear the knock in one cylinder. This engine was used in the movie Titanic...Chief told me that knock is older than I am. The actual Titanic engines were quadruple expansion, where this is triple expansion. Titanics were 15000 IHP each.
I think they are pot holes from the war those ships ware builded in around 8000 those ships for one time use but of all 8000 2 of this type ship remains in order rest are lost for ever and the sea bed or scrapped decades ago
Thats called warming through the turbines. And rolling the shaft bearings. That means, the ships is still considered active/reserve. We had one this old at texas a&m back in the day.
I read that some ships are still built with a conventional rudder and propeller. Why is that? Aren't azimuth thrusters far better? Or are there pros and cons for both types of propulsion?
One of the wonder war-winners. This ship is a testament to the ordinary American people that stepped out of their front door and built the arsenal of democracy. Built ships faster than the Axis could sink them. Kept the sea bridge open to Britain, North Africa and Russia. Fed the Pacific campaign. And last of all made sure my mum and her family didn’t starve in England during the war.
Did you know that ships can actually be left or right-handed?, if the propeller spins clockwise, it means the ship is right handed, and if the propeller turns left, it means the ship is left handed, so this ship is left handed
@@garden0fstone736 This is a cargo ship expected to be loaded with many tons of materials in its normal intended use. But as a museum ship, there is no cargo and there is not much fuel oil, water, food, and supplies on board. So the propeller is not submerged as it normally would be. The load markings called Plimsoll Lines on the side of the ship are way out of the water these days.
Years ago I was there and went down where the engine was running and the corridor the shaft turning the prop. Looks like somebody didn't want to pay admit.

They are in need of volunteers so if you wanted to do that job, it might be possible. You would not need to put your head or torso in the water if you could position the blade in the out of water position. All you need is a wetsuit and some cleaning tools.
All cargo ships and most other ships are the same. If they don't have any ballast or cargo the propeller tips are above the surface. Ballast tanks are filled with water to balance the ship so it's not too high in the water.
This is the scene in the Indiana Jones Movie with the similar looking Liberty Ship and the Ships Propeller Turning. ruclips.net/video/mG1vn39lP3M/видео.html

Why is it turning?
I searched for 'Ship Propeller'. This video was one of the suggested videos to the side of a search result.
SanFranciscoBay

Legends says that till now the propeller is still spinning on a same momentum
Been on the O’Brien. One of two liberty ships that still operates! Went into the engine room! What a great experience!
I was very lucky to have had a chance to tour this ship. Mind-blowing
I have a phobia of propellers and ships.. I watch this everyday to get over it..
I’m going on a cruise next year
Great idea. I can use extra money. Maybe I can create a therapy type video for people like you who are scared of ships propellers, show the propeller turning and play calming music rather than Death Metal type music and avoid showing pictures and sounds of the Titanic with people screaming as the ship sinks into a freezing ocean at night.

Looks like a small propeller for such a big ship ..

Why are there dents all over the side ?
thats a pretty good size screw.
Yeah it might be 2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18 feet in diameter woow
Yes they made it so small so the ship wouldn't go too fast
because of huge weight on the bearings, prop shafts are kept moving on commercial ships by electric motors to prevent flat spots. just saying.
It ain't a very big screw, so i doubt they're doing it to dynamically load the bearings. More like they're demonstrating the steam engines or something which would explain them running it dead slow. But interesting fact!
So there always on?
@@lordgustav6227 no, I'm fairly certain it is only operating to demonstrate the steam engines inside the ship
Steam engines have to be warmed up before they can be put under load, especially expansion engines like this. Dead slow astern is the easiest way to do it without stress on dock lines and equipment.

Such a weird herky-jerky rhythm to it at dead slow. I keep going 'one-and-two-and-three-and... four'

It is not active or reserve ready. It's a museum that takes passengers around the San Franciso Bay about once a month.
@@sanfranciscobay holy shit thats privately run.
Sheesh, mush have some deep pockets with money to burn.
It's not a turbine-powered ship. She runs on a triple expansion steam engine.If you saw the movie "Titanic," the fireroom scene is the J O'B's.
Great video! Lovely to see that her propulsion still works!
He spin...
He push...
But most importantly:
He will turn you into a slush...
I saw you comment this on another video. Stop.
He will turn you into mush.*. There you go fixed it for you.
Luis nope :3
At that speed it would maybe break a few arms drown you or you may escape
Which is why you DON’T launch any lifeboats unless the captain gives you the ok, especially when the ship is underway.
I read that some ships are still built with a conventional rudder and propeller. Why is that? Aren't azimuth thrusters far better? Or are there pros and cons for both types of propulsion?
Azimuths are more complicated

That’s one splashy spiny boii
Sick burnout
The propellers are fouled and running in reverse.. Beautiful ship, built with pride..
Why let the screw turn so slowly like that? Surely that speed is too slow to actually move the ship any.
I'm Givin' Her All She's Got, Captain!
condor5635 day
First undo the howsers mate. Then well be a see.
We that is not much then huh
condor5635
How can it remain so still when the propeller is turning? I know it's just idling but it doesn't creep forward even an inch
Did you know that ships can actually be left or right-handed?, if the propeller spins clockwise, it means the ship is right handed, and if the propeller turns left, it means the ship is left handed, so this ship is left handed
This propeller is turning counter-clockwise because it is in reverse.
These ships are probably sitting in a shallow water that's why their propeller keep showing up on the surface.
Thanks for sharing, satisfying to watch
Glad you enjoyed watching. Very simple video.
Im giving her all shes got captain!
Why the proppeller are moving?
They start the engine every month. The ship takes people on rides a few times a year.
I wonder what the small circular dents in the hull above the prop are from?
Looks like gunshots to me
parking lot dings
Landing craft from WW2. Bumping up next to her while transferring cargo from ship to the craft.
Cavitation
Cool vid thank you
Dirty wheel
Why is there a circle of blue water next to it
What the heck the propeller is slow and the ship is not moving
Is it possible, that the prop isnt symmetric? Or is there a lack in rpm after every spin?
At dead slow Astern, the steam engine doesn't run very smoothly. Yes, its speeding up and slowing down.
@@kimmer6 why is the prop out of the water?
@@garden0fstone736 This is a cargo ship expected to be loaded with many tons of materials in its normal intended use.

what camera do you use? it's so high quality
Video was taken with a handheld Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with no editing.
ITS GREAT ........................... SO NICE
it's turning like to go backward ?
Hardcore Gaming yes
are those dents caused by bullets?
Maybe it could be accidental hammer smashes when they were building the hull
What caused those little dents?
It rocks and moves back a little bit, so what? It's a ship in water! It's gonna do that!
Watch the vid at 2x speed it makes it a lot more entertaining
I tried the 2x speed. Something seems unnatural about it at that speed. I like the normal speed better.
Are those bullet holes in the stern just above the rudder?
Turbo the Cat seems like it
I like watching it because it's so hypnotic lol 😯
It’s to keep the water oxygenated so the fish don’t die.
Just know if america needs that ship its not a musem anymore y do u think they start it up everymonth

Single screw? Top speed?
eyestoenvy top speed of 11-11.5 knots
Taking on ballast might be suggested at this point. Plimsoll lines are there for a reason. Just sayin'....

Filmi. Classici
Years ago I was there and went down where the engine was running and the corridor the shaft turning the prop. Looks like somebody didn't want to pay admit.
I was wondering why the propeller is half out the water, then I realised its low tide of course!!

Its the original version of an Arneson surface drive. It throws a 500 foot rooster tail when the turbo and nitrous kick in.
What caused all those dents and dings in the hull?
Built in 1943, 76 years old, years of use and possibly gunshots when it was berthed in the Mothball Fleet.

Why is the stern so far out of the water?
Jacob Lance. The ship is empty of cargo so it sits higher in the water.

Keep in mind, this ship was built in 1944. Todays ships may be built differently.
All cargo ships and most other ships are the same. If they don't have any ballast or cargo the propeller tips are above the surface. Ballast tanks are filled with water to balance the ship so it's not too high in the water.
