Gregory, The infor you are looking for was published in 1958 by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in a paper entitled Machinery Design of Great Lakes Carrier S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. I can send scan of it if you are interested.

I’d greatly appreciate a copy! Thank you for offering.

I think they called it cross compound steam turbine from memory that sometimes gets fuzzy.

Two stage perhaps?

The Edmund Fitzgerald had a 2-cylinder steam turbine, produced by Westinghouse. Two water-tube boilers were built bu Combustion Engineering.

I've seen that reference about "Two cylinder" and I think there's a mix up in terminology somewhere. She has a high pressure and low pressure steam turbines.

Are you referring to a class of ship?

I'm sure her engine room would be almost identical to any 730 turbine job.

The Jim Hill library at the university of Wisconsin, at superior has all of the records and drawings from Fraser Ship Yard for work done on the Fitz. They have all of the blue prints of the conversion from coal to oil as well as many others. The information is held in the archives along with many items owned be the marine museum at Duluth.

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to find detailed information about the engine room equipment on the Fitz. I know she was steam powered with geared steam turbines, single screw, and was converted from coal to fuel oil fired in the early 70’s. But that’s about it. Online searching hasn’t yielded much. I’m looking for the details that would interest those of us that have operated and maintained marine steam turbines plants. Can anyone help or direct me to where I can find the info? I’d appreciate it greatly.
Thank you

Don't know if you found this or not? But it's got some neat photos.
