December 2001 You never realize how complex a ship is till you see the engine room!
So many little wires and tubes to run a big ship, I wondered if I pulled off just one wire what would happen!
There were 6 diesel engines that created the power for the electric engines that the ship ran on. We wore protective ear gear because it was so loud!
The desalination plant that created our drinking water out of sea water using reverse osmosis. Wasn't as big as I thought it would be for the whole ship.
This is the system they used to see who was still on shore and who was on the boat. I turned Ron's over (the red one) so they'd think he was still on shore and go looking for him.
