I literally grew up aboard ship. Not full time of course, but summers when school was closed I often spent much of my time aboard ship with my dad. Instead of my keying all this please take a look at:

A brief history of the Shenango Furnace Company: http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/1965/shenhist.htm
Today the Col. James M. Schoonmaker is a museum ship in Toledo Ohio:

I ran across SN for the first time a few days ago while Googling Steam Turbines. Recently I was surprised to learn that in 2005-2007 sixty new build steam turbine LNG ships were ordered. So I have been researching this online.
After I quit the sea in 1976 I worked ashore in the maintenance department of a couple of hotels. In 1992 I started my own Computer Tutor business which I closed in 2002 when I retired at age 62.
In 1999 I joined http://www.agsem.com/ doing volunteer work on Steam Engine Row

In October 2001 I accepted the challenge of six times a year producing, on a volunteer basis, our membership news magazine, The Ignitor. In February 2006 I accepted the additional volunteer responsibility for our http://www.agsem.com/ web site.
Thank you,
Greg Hayden
