Sumuista höyrylaivahommaa pääsiäislauantaina. Ja joka lauantaina. Toukokuussa varmaan jo iskee paniikki kaikista vielä tekemättömistä hommista ennen ekoja ajoja. Onneksi on tekijöitä. #ssturso #höyrylaiva #davies #helsingintelakka #steamships #sslokki

Started watching #1899 on #Netflix. Can’t say much about the story yet, but the CGI work is fascinating.
Sidenote: was the #coal used to power large #steamships really shovelled manually into the multiple #boilers? I know manpower was cheap, but surely some mechanical system would have been more reliable and easier to control? (Apparently not, says this answer to the same question: https://www.quora.com/Why-wasnt-a-system-developed-to-automatically-feed-coal-to-warship-steam-boilers-rather-than-being-dependant-on-men-and-shovels )
