The engine room is arguably the most interesting space on the Mack. It can be entered via doors aft and fore, a large opening cut in the deck, or via the main structure amidships. Those things that look like manhole covers inside the main deck structure are actually part of the engine! There is a steep staircase descending from this area into the engine room proper.

There is an unbelievable amount to see in this huge chamber.  It's crammed full of pipes, gears, boxes, doodads and of course the engine itself, sans cover.  Go forward of the engine room, and you're in the boiler room. Aft are quarters.  Up is the main deck.  It's basically the heart of the ship.
 
The engine is surrounded by a raised walkway, approximately 10 feet off the floor.  These photos are on or below the walkway, and in various parts of the room. There are four panoramas in this room, indicated by the multiple arrow numbers. Fisheye shots cover 180 degrees.
  1. 90 degree panoramic aft, port corner of room looking fore.
  2. 340 degree panoramic, the entire starboard side of the room can be seen, facing away from the hull
