Some years ago, here in Jax Atlantic shipyard...I worked as a electrician for a couple months, until the winter got to me, it was an experience, I"ll say that....engines much larger than my house..props so huge it's scary....funny how 800' liners on land look so strange, like a beached whale....but when sailing around them as they waited on the Chesapeake Bay, they would create their own wind patterns...currents too.... I remember them cutting the top off a Crowley tug so to pull the two locomotive diesels from the belly of the beast, two new ones going in.....reweld the entire cab/top back on....:bonkers:

long time ago I stepped outside the house I was working on, locked it down, and across the street this guy was flying a RC Helicopter....first one I ever heard of.....super neat.....:trumpet:
