United States Navy cutter No. 873 is finally alive.  This was the Captain's cutter of the original battleship New Jersey BB-16, and saw service with the Great White Fleet.  Here is the first ever test run of the restored power plant.  The engine is her original Navy "E2" type compound.   I have been waiting to do this for five years.  Sea trials will be in June.
