Introducing our new series, “Now Hear This” in which our World War II living history crew takes you to different parts of the Red Oak Victory, tells you about the clothing and equipment of the World War II sailor, and discuss some of the technologies and techniques used at sea by the US Navy in World War II.
In Episode 1 of “Now Hear This”, we’ll go to the lower engine room to see the steam turbines, the reduction gear and the propeller shaft which, of course, are the vital components providing propulsion for the ship.
