The engines were used to charge the electric batteries in a submarine when on the surface.

Wow, even if now I have this page in favorites, I don't want to close the tab or leave the page...
The over contrasted light give a feeling of grease and old which completely fit the mechanic and crowded detailed picture.

Fantastic shot! Great control of tone and of depth of field.
I think I would feel very claustrophobic working in one of these, even without people dropping depth charges in me.

An engine room! I spent nearly 4 years in one. Not one this small though.

I bet it was bigger. Not a lot of room around these engines.
