1997 Titanic Reciprocating Engines in Real Life! (SS Jeremiah O’Brien Engine Room)

James Cameron filmed some of the engine room scenes from Titanic inside the SS Jeremiah O’Brien liberty ship in San Francisco. I filmed this video from his viewpoint. This was filmed at the front end of the engine. This ship has 1 engine. It’s nearly deafening in there. It also gets hot in there. It gets ventilation from a hatch on the roof and from large pipes that extend from the upper decks of the ship. I extended my video so we can further appreciate this wonderful machinery. I have more footage but l decided not to include it because l wanted my footage to be unique. I just wanted to showcase the engine from a similar viewpoint as James Cameron. The engine room scenes are short and underrated.
