A Ship's Scotch Boiler Explained

This video takes a magnificent and complicated ship's boiler plan from the archive of Lloyds Register Foundation and animates it, explaining how a ship's scotch boiler worked and shows how the contemporary technical drawing illustrates its construction and operation. The plan comes from a tanker called the Baku Standard, torpedoed and sunk in the First World War by U-Boat UC58 off Tod Head, Aberdeen with the loss of 24 of her crew.

Scotch Marine boilers are a structure of beauty.

Would appreciate having the exhaust stack included. Guessing there’s one at either end? Cheers

Great video

[@lucah1824]

The scotch boiler is interesting, cause if you look at the pipe arrangement, it's reminiscent of the water tubing, fuel and control rod technological channels of a nuclear reactor. Whether it's Titanic's or Olympic's 3 firebox double ended scotch boilers, or the calandria of a CANDU or channel layout of an RBMK reactor, they look reminiscent to one another.

I'm as much an engineering type as Nelson was a triple jumper and this video was perfectly understandable.

Great job on the video/animation. Can you tell me how the animation was produced?

[@tedsinclair4556]

It skips the description of the furnace with the firebar arrangement and the ash door.
