November 14 TO 16, 2025

Topics include: Marine boilers, steam cycle, valve maintenance, auxiliary engines and pumps, cargo handling steam winches and the 2500 HP Triple Expansion Reciprocating Engine.

You will learn the duties of the engineering watch, as you light off the boilers, raise steam, start up the auxiliary equipment and operate the main engine. All training will be conducted with the ship moored to the pier.

All instructors are members of the SS JOHN W BROWN Engineering Department.

Steam school includes on board accommodations in original crew cabins Friday and Saturday night, secure parking on the pier, Continental Breakfast, Buffet Lunch and Dinners on board the ship. Optional stay aboard Sunday night (meals included) for $50 extra.
