Just came across this guy — he is curator of the Battleship New Jersey museum, and in this video walks around the engine/boiler rooms of the SS United States, comparing them to "his" ship. Having seen photos of the upper decks completely stripped, I was surprised at how complete the engine rooms are.

He's got lots of other videos — more of the United States, plus the New Jersey and plenty of other ships!

That's a great channel. I enjoy watching.
