Slow motion clip of the Low Pressure crosshead on the Liberty Ship S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien's 2500hp triple expansion steam engine. 48" stroke running at about 60 rpm. That means the piston is moving 480 feet per minute. This is the same engine used for the engine room scenes in the 1997 movie 'Titanic'
