Onboard the M/V Mississippi

[@privateer177666]

In the middle cabinet second drawer in the ER Control Room is where we used to keep the Tootsie Rolls & Jack Links meat treats. Chiefs Buie & Morton were & are some outstanding individuals.

One of your most interesting videos, good job. 👍💯👍

outstanding very many thanks

[@deanlamberth0sbcglob]

Very nice tour

[@BurtSampson]

Thanks for the upload! I always wanted to see the interior on this boat. That engine room is crazy. I use to work on the M/V Keith Darling and that was a big ol' 9,000hp boat, and that engine room dwarfs ours. Those triple screws are crazy powerful. Is it a 10,500, or more? I bet it's damn near a 15,000hp boat. That meeting room alone looks like it has as much square footage as the entire first deck on my old boat.

[@BowzerTowboats]

Thank you for watching! Actually only around 6300hp total. She's so wide it has more room in the engine room. Here her stats here www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Portals/48/docs/CC/FactSheets/MV%20Miss-data-sheet.pdf

Hey Debi! Wasn’t last night an extravaganza?!

[@debdew7125]

@@mrsbigbug Hi Prairie 🌷 I was so wired! I overdid it. 🤣I still haven't watched any of quiet person's videos! I did video chat with my sister back in PA today. Saw it was slow on the Lock 19 que report so I just took it easy. I'm getting too old for the late nights sometimes! 😂 See ya soon! Maybe tomorrow 😻 Take care my friend 🌷💞

That was a cool model of the Beauty at the beginning. Spent four years on her, and I KNEW that was her as soon as she came into frame...lol

Very cool video!

[@almirria6753]

Are those Cat diesels? did you see them repairing the crack on one the lock gates?

[@BowzerTowboats]

No I didn't. And yes on the Cats. www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Portals/48/docs/CC/FactSheets/MV%20Miss-data-sheet.pdf

IS THAT A Z DRIVE PUSHER ?

[@terrywitt5543]

The Mississippi is 6,000 boat 3606 the Keith truly is 10,000 Emd 20-710 turned down but it can push 40 loads like nothing

[@danielr1615]

This huge boat to push a couple of work barges or dredges. Another example of government waste. A 700 horse power boat would be adequate for the work they perform.

[@mrsbigbug]

Thanks for the tour! (prairieturtle)
