Interior views of USS Oregon BB3 circa 1898

Sunday, August 8, 2010

here are some pictures of the interior of the Battleship USS Oregon. quite interesting because we mostly get to see exterior views of these antique armored vessels. first picture is the switchboard in the dynamo room. second is the dynamo room itself and third is an electrician's mate working on one of the dynamos. fourth picture is of one of the engine rooms. looks like an upper catwalk to me too bad there are no pictures of the actual engines but this pic has an interesting array of pipes, steam lines and valves. finally we see the interior of the main after turret with the breeches of the 13" rifles in view. a gunners mate stands by to answer the questions of interested parties.
