I am a licensed ship captain with a 45 year career behind me, including passenger ships, and Oil takers and others. Mr. Brady has done an excellent job with everyone of his shows that I’ve seen I highly recommend him, and I personally default to him most of my historical shows

Mike- I am SO GLAD I have discovered your videos! I am a retired US naval officer (steam ship chief engineer and destroyer captain) who is a cruise ship speaker who goes by the nickname "The Ship Guy." I find your videos to be OUTSTANDING and I'd like to stay in touch with you. One tiny "nit pick" about this one: in it, you state that some of the fresh water condensed in the main condensers is purposely pumped overboard. This is not the case...ever. Fresh water on steam ships is a very precious commodity and it is never pumped over the side unless contaminated or tanks are full. Small point, but one that should be made. I look forward to you next video(s) !!!

The Sea water inlets and outlets are used to cool the Main Condenser. The Steam from the turbines exits into the stm side of the Mn Cond. It's filled with tubes and has a chest on each side. The sea water flows in one side and out the other thru the tubes. The stm comes into contact with the tubes and condenses into condensate, (distilled water). The Main Condenser is a pressure vessel, so as the stm condenses it forms a vacuum inside the stm side of the Mn Cond. This allows a great deal of additional work to be extracted from the stm as it passes thro the turbine. Main Condensers operate at near perfect vacuum. The stm exiting the LP turbine is under 100 deg f because of the low pressure. The distilled water used in the stm cycle must be reused. The Chief Engineer on any steam ship is always thinking about water. How much the ship is making, how much the ship is using and how much the ship has in storage. Boiler water and hotel services water.

03:15 Modern cruise ships often have a sort-of "torch" attached to lifebuoys, that also activates on contact with (salt) water. During my time on a cruise ship i learnt that lifebuoys are not always exactly meant to give a person over board something to cling on to. It is rather to generally mark the "place" in the water where a person (presumably) went overboard, so the ship has a point of reference to go back to during a man over board maneuver. After all, it takes several minutes for a ship to do a 180°... Only in "ideal" cases, the person over board can swim to the lifebuoy and cling on to it. And if you, as a passenger or crew see someone over board, you can also throw anything (close) to the person that will presumably float, like a deck chair, a football etc., if there is no lifebuoy close by. As mentioned, the main thing is to give the ship a point of reference.

Great first video! Years ago, when still into modelbuilding, I tried to find as much as I can on how to paint ships from that era. Everyone's aware of the still existing debate on "WSL Buff" and to some extend on "Cunard Red" (orange in those days). What's striking me odd now, is your (artist's) two-tone antifouling paint. It reminds my on what I have seen on many QE2 photos, that they have applied a "Cunard Red"-ish boot-topping between the brick-red antifouling and the thin white waterline stripe. There are some rumours on a two-tone antifouling/boot-topping on Maury in her white cruise livery, but I never thought Lusy featured a two-tone as well. Or maybe I have forgotten?
@OceanlinerDesigns
3 жыл бұрын
Good pick up on the two-tone anti foul. This is a theory I have developed, but there are a number of photos of Lusitania and Aquitania in dry-dock where the two tones of the anti-foul are very distinctly visible. I believe Cunard line may have been maintaining a 'boot-topping' at the waterline for appearances as this area was the most subjected to damage from tugs and weathering. I decided to depict Lusitania like this because to my mind there is more evidence to suggest two tones of anti-foul than not. You can see it here, for example, as the dark line below the white 'water line'; collections.tepapa.govt.nz/object/1840640 ~Mike

There is a (1928?) colour photo of Maury in a floating dock, best known for Oly's funnel in the background, and it too shows the two-tone antifouling, but I ever thought this was due to refreshening the paint job...

5:45 Not sure if this is just tripping up on the wording a bit, but I think the implication you make as to how the condensers work is wrong. All the water from the boilers is kept aboard the ship in a closed loop. You can't just feed these boilers with seawater, due to the insoluble salts building up inside the boilers at high temperatures and pressures (sidenote but older, lower performance boilers of the mid 19th century could run off seawater with care). So they kept treated feed water in tanks. But you can't keep enough feedwater to run a ship for that long, so it's not just disposed of when it's used. Once the feedwater was boiled and expanded in the turbines, it would travel to the condenser, where it would be brought into contact with thousands of tiny pipes with seawater flowing through them. This gave a huge surface area to transfer heat over, condensing the steam and allowing it to be pumped back to the feedwater tanks to be used again. This seawater was brought in constantly through inlets. Being an entirely open loop (since it's basically just a way to dump heat), after one pass through the condenser it would go back out through the outlets, and that's what those are for.
