Slightly different engines compared to the Titanic. Titanic had two triple expansion steam engines plus a Parsons steam turbine. Keewatin has a single quadruple expansion engine turning a single prop.

Boats I've served on. Only one missing is the USCG Northland, can't find that to save my life.

Bottom one we were sent on to see how they handled alchohol underway. With taps in the bulkheads running to the kegs somewhere, a couple of us needed to be roped out of the hatches.
