Dreadnought and Rusty,

Thanks for your guidance. My U.S.S. Olympia tour is shaping up nicely. I'm boning up on her stats and history. I love the narratives from eye witnesses to her Manila Bay battle and virtual tours on this web site:
USS Olympia

A triple expansion engine was mentioned. I didn't hear about a condenser. Too much space needed? It seems like a efficient way to increase power.

Any info on where the Olympia nuts hang out for a pint after work?

More to follow and thanks again.
