Restaurants
The Moshulu
Philadelphia, P.A..
This four-masted restaurant/sailing ship has been restored to turn-of-the-century grandeur. Academy designed and engineered the service and distribution of the 1,600 AMP service at 480 volts. This design was extremely important due to the ships location on the water and the constant movement of the ship due to tidal changes. Academy was responsible for the design of all exterior lighting, which included the illumination of the ship’s 175 foot mast and rigging by installing more than 20,000 watts of uplighting and 2,000 gas filled, low-voltage lamps. The interior of the ship was fully rewired from the hold to the bridge to accommodate the addition of a full service restaurant. A 120 kw generator was lowered by crane into the hold of the ship to provide emergency power. Project Cost - $1,200,000.
