Funny is, two years ago, we were convinced that the boiler is done for. Both amateurs and old experienced sailors. Further inspection revealed that the materials on the boiler were so overdimensioned that the inspector said that this boiler will be operational when new would rust away. (this boiler is from 1917)
Fun fact I like to think about when being onboard is, Fram, 20 years younger is sitting in a house in Oslo and that Master and Commander "took" place just 65 years before she was built...
