MASSIVE Triple Expansion Steam Engine FULL AHEAD on the

- The main engine on the Liberty Ship Jeremiah O'Brien running at full ahead. 2,500 HP of triple expansion steam engine goodness. My father Steve in the hat.

Yes, this is the engine used for the engine room scenes in the James Cameron movie "Titantic"

This is the closest you can get in seeing what Titanic's engines may have looked like but three times bigger.
Which is why James Cameron specifically used this very ship for the engine room scenes in the movie.
@@Rammstein0963. I knew those engines looked familiar.
Similar to the Battleship Texas engines.
get yourself someone who looks at you like that man looks at this piston
Damn, this is the coolest thing I've seen all week. What an impressive feat of engineering. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm happy to share it. We'll be running the ship at pier 35 in SF this coming Friday-Sunday (July 14-16th, 2023), if you find your way out here away from the murderous roadrunners.
@@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE what is the story on the O’Brien? When is the next time she is going to head out?
@@rudycarlson8245 that's a very good question. I'm not sure. You may want to check their website: www.ssjeremiahobrien.org/
These engines are massive.
Yup, it sure was.
Some years back, the O’Brien was docked at Portland, and I was in the Engine room - by far, the best part of the ship if you’re a lifelong engine-nerd.
It wasn’t running then, bummer. I wish I could have seen it running!
Not as big as the Titanic’s.
I love how he leans on a component, rests his head on his hand, and just watches it go.
I'd do the same
Sounds beautiful
Quite scary seeing a large amount of steel move so easily
WE GO FULL AHEAD!
Cmon put your backs into it!!!
Triple expansion steam piston engine ❤, they also make triple expansion steam turbines too, general electric and the old ocean liner SS Oriana had them 😎
Bonjour Wesley,
Your father actually worked on this mythical Liberty ship ? What an amazing experience !
Besides this, not obvious to find an unusual noise... in this noise. Did he finally succeed ?
Funny to imagine that full ahead is about 125 RPM, these boats were very slow. But they made what they were built for and made fortunes of several shipowners after the war.
I would like to build a model replica of this boat, very uncommon if steam equipped.
Amicalement, Raphaël
Bonjour Raphaël,
My father and I have been onboard a few times. Helping out here and there.
I think the source of the noise has been found and mitigated.
It really is incredible the size of these engines and what they did. How many of these ships they made in such a short time... And how long this one has lasted.
This is the only ship to ever steam out of the "mothball" reserve fleet under her own power. A feat unto itself.
I'm sure you could make an incredible model of one. I am looking forward to seeing it! 🤓
Not mythical, quite real, if you get out of your cavern and actually see the world
Titanic Movie Engine, and Sound.
This is the engine used for the movie
the guy in the beginning was one step away from a trip to the hospital
The guy standing on a sidewalk inches away from speeding traffic is also. Millions stood in those same spots on thousands of ships when reciprocating steam ruled the waves. Only the dumb or clumsy got eaten, and rightfully so.
@@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE Did you just say clumsy people deserve to be killed lmfao
You could say the same of anyone that chops with knives, drives cars, flies planes,uses power tools, or fires a gun.
