An engineering marvel
Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology的点评
点评：Our third and last stop during Doors Open Hamilton (free event, 03-04 May) was the Museum of Steam and Technology. We visited on Sat, 03 May. We drove here immediately after visiting Battlefield House Museum & Park, about 6 kms away.
We parked in the gravel parking lot, quickly located the Steam Museum entrance and found ourselves in the gift shop. Museum staff invited us further inside the boilerhouse, to the gallery, where we were shown working miniatures of steam engines. We spent some time here reading informative panels, looking at illustrations and even trying the interactive bike pump powered engine before we continued the self-guided tour. From the boilerhouse, we took the stairs to the engineer's corridor, climbed up to the engine deck and the pumphouse where we observed one massive beam engine in action, now motorized. Can't help but be impressed as this was built circa 1859 and responsible for pumping clean water to the city of Hamilton back then--an engineering marvel. We also climbed up to the packing deck (beam deck was off limits) for a closer look at the moving piston.
Before we left, we explored the stone steps and also took photos of the exterior, complete with red brick chimney. Washrooms are in a separate building, inside what would have been the woodshed which we accessed via side door (glass doors were locked). There is a drinking water/bottle refilling station as well. Fitting since we're in Hamilton's Water Works after all.

翻译：5月3日至4日，汉密尔顿开放日（免费活动）期间，我们的第三站也是最后一站是蒸汽与科技博物馆。我们于5月3日（星期六）参观了这里。参观完约6公里外的战地博物馆及公园后，我们立即驱车前往。
我们把车停在碎石停车场，很快找到了蒸汽博物馆的入口，然后来到了礼品店。博物馆工作人员邀请我们继续参观锅炉房内部，来到展厅，在那里他们向我们展示了正在运行的蒸汽机微缩模型。我们在这里花了一些时间阅读信息面板，欣赏插图，甚至还尝试了互动式自行车打气筒驱动的蒸汽机，之后我们继续进行自助游览。从锅炉房出发，我们沿着楼梯来到工程师走廊，爬上发动机甲板和泵房，在那里我们看到了一台巨大的横梁式蒸汽机正在运转，现在已经是机动化的了。这台蒸汽机大约建于1859年，当时负责向汉密尔顿市输送清洁水，这真是一个工程奇迹，不禁让人印象深刻。我们还爬上了填料甲板（横梁甲板是禁止进入的），以便近距离观察正在移动的活塞。
离开之前，我们探索了石阶，还拍了外部照片，包括红砖烟囱。洗手间在一栋独立的建筑里，里面原本是木棚，我们通过侧门进入（玻璃门锁着）。那里还有一个饮用水/瓶装水补充站。毕竟，我们是在汉密尔顿水厂，所以这很合适。
