Another thanks for a great video. Maybe the worst job on a ship. At one time there were coaling stations for ships all over the world. Real important during WW I.

An old WW 2 friend, long gone was a boiler rm worker on Liberty ships. The conditions were no doubt better then the coal fired ones but brutal enough for him to turn down a nice promotion and move back to the woods.
