Made for TV documentary on the building of the Eugen Maersk.

Good video of the diesel engine alignment and installation, including
a brief look at the fantastically large crank shaft.

Check out the propeller and propeller shaft. You can see the prop
shaft was turned between centers on what must be and absolutely
GIGANTIC ship yard lathe.

Worth the ten minute view time if this sort of thing remotely gets
your metal working juices flowing.

Here is the second posted part:

It includes seating the propeller using the world's biggest washer and
nut. And installing the drive shaft.

This ship is huge and estimated to be able to handle 15,000 shipping
containers all at once.

Reminds me of redoing my 55 Chebbie, just slightly smaller.

I liked the way someone was smart enough to put a tag line on that huge
shackle. I've used them that big.

And I was curious about the prop. All we ever worked on was four fluted
props.

The nut sure went on there easily, they must have been spot on in
fabrication.

A little unerwhelmed at the ladder in the opening scene.

All in all, though, fantastic.

All that stuff made separately, and coming together.

Oh, I imagine there was a screwup now and again.
