Claim regarding one of just 2 surviving Liberty ships
There is claim in article that Jeremiah is one of just 2 surviving Liberty ships. What about SS Lane Victory. It is just a few rows after SS Jeremiah O'Brien in List of National Historic Landmarks in California. It states it is a WWII "Victory" ship (they meant Liberty ship?). Jeremiah is then one of at least 3 surviving. Who knows how many more will pop up. doncram 21:37, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien pinups
These can also be seen on File:Jeremiah O'Brien (Liberty ship, San Francisco).JPG, at full resolution. Here's the full story, from the photographer: "This is at the bow of the ship starboard side. You can see it in the other wikipedia photo. In fact, that photo shows two of them. I forgot about the one on the port side.

If I remember correctly, the docent said that she was painted on their maiden voyage to France and then painted back over before they landed. People forgot about it until 50+ years later when they were restoring the ship and found her as they chipped away the old paint. I forget, but I think the thong is a modern addition."

Pretty amusing story. Cool that the restorers brought them back to light. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 02:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Gallery
I created the gallery and put a few of the pictures I took in it, and integrated some others. Others are located here, if anyone wants to sort through and include them: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1832211/ss%20o%27brien/index.html - there are some great engine room shots, among others.

3 inch are 3 x 2,54 cm = 76,2 mm

Titanic reference
It's confirmed by the IMDB page for the movie but I don't know how to do citations properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.129.35 (talk) 03:04, 6 August 2015 (UTC)


 * This section was misleading.


 * Titanic had three engines. Her middle engine was an early steam turbine.


 * One of the mistakes the officer of the watch made was to signal for Titanic's engines to be put into reverse. Her old-style triple expansion engines could be reversed easily.  But her turbine could not.  He had forgotten, or perhaps never really appreciated, that the Titanic had only one rudder.  The order to reverse simply shut down revolutions of the Turbine's propeller.  Since it was the propeller most important for steering this order stripped the propeller of most of its utility.


 * Anyhow, I tried to correct wording that was misleading about the Titanic. Geo Swan (talk) 01:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
