BDI B Division is a strange breed of men accus- tomed to an atmosphere of soot and smoke, and professionally dedicated to the faultless performance of the heart of the ship: it's two boilers. In port or at sea, the Black Gang has a 24 hour a day job supplying the needs of the ship with steam. The product of their labors enables the ship to speed across the ocean, stay warm with steam heat and provide steam for turning the turbo generators which furnishes electricity for our purposes. To a small group of fresh air Boilermen is entrusted the responsibility of refueling the ship and maintaining the boiler feed water. By regulating the loads in the feed water and fuel tanks they keep the ship on an even keel. Front Row 1 to r: FN D. F, Pettigrew BT3 D W th J F Shelby Back Row 1 to rr Bri J.'L.
