Dear all,
Just came across this excellent video of a cold start of the SS-Shieldhall. Fascinating viewing for those of us with an interest in the engineering side of things.
Her machinery arrangement seems quite similar to the Olympic class, although on a smaller scale of course. Dual triple expansion engines with two condensers, serviced by separate steam powered auxiliaries. Three furnace fire tube boilers as well (oil fired).
When I'm next in the UK a sail on this ship will definitely be required I think!
