Interesting to watch these old engines and how it's operated.

I liked the houseplants at 0:23 left there to make what is likely an extremely demanding job in a hot, dark environment, less onerous.

1:23 Why isn't he answering the telegraph?

[@carljesper]

That is normal. In a ship of this size the captain will notice if he gets the manouver or not anyway. Aswering will just slow down the manouvering.
