    So I acquired some engine log books for the MV Patriot which is a vehicle carrier with ARC.....the books are pretty cool but I have no use for them....not sure if anyone collects this type of stuff or knows a forum I could go to.....it was sent to me along with some other items by the captain whom I had as a patient.....

    I like that stuff but I am a boater so those things are cool. The MV Patriot is still sailing.....a few minutes ago she was still docked in South Hampton UK . She is a 17 year old ship and a very cool thing to note.......she is US Flagged which is interesting.

    As to the engine logs.......those generally stay with the ship unless the engines are replaced. Most of the engines last 5,000-6,000 hours so it is very likely those belong to a older set of engines.

    As to a market for them.......I'm sure they are collectible. The only place I have seen them is Ebay. Also the US Government collects them as being a flagged US ship.
