Virtual Tour of the Ship - Boat Deck


The Boat Deck

The boat deck is the location of the Mather's two life boats and emergency steering wheel. Two spare blades, or buckets, for the propeller are mounted at the stern. Each weighs 3300 pounds and is cast of manganese bronze. The Engine Room below can be seen through the skylight. The stack dates from 1954.

Here is a view of the boat deck from the top of the stack.
