00:00If something catches fire in the engine room, it can dismantle the entire ship's ability to move,
00:05which would be disastrous.
00:10Thankfully, flames were put out and the Healy was floated to California for repair.
00:18The replacement part was across the country at a Coast Guard facility in Baltimore, Maryland.
00:30That spare motor was removed from the storage facility, craned onto a barge,
00:34and sent through the Panama Canal to the dry dock in California.
00:49Installation of the propulsion motor took approximately a month
00:53and required careful removal of the ship's dual hulls to complete.
01:15Propulsion units are the components that are responsible for generating the force
01:20that propels a ship through the water.
