The Steam Ship Master, is a 1922′s wooden hulled tugboat that apparently is the only one of its kind in North America still in its original setup.  It looks a lovely machine, and the views in this six minute video of the engine room are very mechanical and curiously quiet – I always forget that steam doesn’t have to be loud and explody!  You can read more about the SS Master over at the SSMaster society page – a group devoted to just keeping it running and maintaining it as a heritage object.  It’s got a mighty strange whistle though – sounds a bit like a duck trying to blow its nose!
