Old Main Engines Lifted Off
Report and pictures by David Elms
7th April. Balmoral's main engines were removed today, and both had left
Albion Drydock by about 3:30pm. The operation went smoothly with no hiccups.
Tomorrow the forward section of the catwalk and the framework comprising the
forward parts of the lifting beams and silencer mountings are to be returned
to their original positions. Towards the end of this week, or early next week
the top of the engine room casing and funnel should also be refitted, as the
Grenaa engines don't require as big an aperture to fit through.
