Navigating House - Mauretania

from North East Museums

  • Jeff Snyder said:
    I was at first surprised by how clean and bare the overhead and bulkheads are in this photo. No wires, cable-ways, junction boxes, breakers... Then I realized this was before the days of electronics at sea.
  • Thank you for visiting my page said:
    As a Marine Engineer I can see the beauty in simplicity of this era, but I have to say I'm happier at sea with everything being monitored 24/7, these were the days of great engineering and ingenuity ,great photo.

from North East Museums

  • FrigateRN said:
    The ingenuity that goes into the creating of a ship, both then and now, is something to behold.

    Who would have stood at this post?
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Hard to say exactly, but an inexperienced man wouldn't have been allowed to operate the controls when moving the ship around in port. So more than likely one of the 2nd engineers, while the Chief Engineer coordinated the work of all the Engine Room Staff.
  • Dave said:
    They certainly don't make them like that anymore.
  • Doug D said:
    I have done some instrument tubing in gas plants, and the tubing here is very well done considering they likely didn't have the benders that we use today.
