Great video woganworks. Are you sure that's the Big U though? The scale of the machinery appears to be a little small for half of a 240k shp plant. Check the size of the sootblowers, boiler gage glasses, electric motors powering the auxiliaries, and the SSTG. With 1000 psi steam the apparent size of that geneartor would be 1000kw at best, not nearly enough for a super liner.

Could you have mixed your videos up?

@exTAO109

No. This is the Big U. Who could mix-up something like that?

@exTAO109

No, this is the Big U. Watch again.

I could not mix-up a journey like this.

Makes me wish I were rich so I could restore her.

[eebola1701]

OMG, the cost to refit her.....just gut the entire ship, and bring everything up to date. I crossed over on her in 1966, what a ride

[no1butmeau]

ok could some please tell me what would it take for this ship to have its own power i mean the engine room seems to be all there what would they have to do can they just flick switches and the power is on i no nothing about ships could some one tell me please thank you

I have mixed feelings about videos such as this. They are posted with the best of intentions: "This (fill in blank) needs our financial support". But they also alert vandals that a tempting target is out there. That's what happened when a youtube video was posted for a neglected, unguarded landmark estate in Barbados. Within a month it was torched. Now that the SS United States may possbily get a new life the last thing she needs is vandals pulling out wires and pipes for scrap value.

It's amazing how intact it is. The engine room used to be festooned with asbestos insulation that was ripped out in the 90s

[hullchipper]

thats a fire room , babcock and willcock steam boilers ,, shudders with the thought of cleaning that up , has to be two decks deep......

[galloway62042009]

Im glad its so creepy inside because its kept people Out for 60 years so the Machinery is untouched
