Amazing, a steam ship. When you're in the engine room you can see all the moving parts... you can hear the engine's hard work. It feels like you're a mouse or spider... everything is so big...
below. There was an elevator the size of a phone booth on the deck above Atlantic that went down to the second lowest deck on the rearward spaces. I couldn't resist.
Now to brag..........I stood on the tank deck 30 below the waterline. Wow - hay
Seems like some things never change. Wet duds hanging on the fiddley. As a cadet I got yelled at by the C/E for dripping all over his EMD's on the Buffalo.
well thanks for that really. I love SS FRANCE NORWAY. She was a huge isn't she? you could have gotten lost in the jungle pipe. Well done. Thanks again.

You have and had no business going where you did. "Oh, the engine room, blah blah". Well, you could have gotten hurt. It's not a playground for passengers. You're only along for the ride.
Back then, had you been caught you would have gotten in trouble but because you did this the world is better for it. Since we have your record of the past. Good on you.
So you entered the crew area on Atlantic Deck, which means you entered the engine room on Caribbean Deck which is at waterline, then you descended two more flights of stairs... which means you were eventually submerged under at least two stories of water at some points. Wow, that must have been a rush.
wow, imagine trying this these days!

Why didn't the guy you encountered at 4:50 bust you? He didn't care?

I don't see why cruise lines have a "explore the bowels of the ship" as one of their attractions.

It's not that exciting, honestly. I spend hours underwater every day at work, and it's not much of a thrill.
