Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Great find.
It is truly astonishing the level of human to machine to human to machine coordination required to make these old ships function.
Is anyone able to explain what's going on? Is the red arrow a request for what power is needed? Why do they have to move the lever all of the way to one side than to the desired "power"? What's the purpose of the vertical "steering wheel" why is there 2 sets of these controls?
