The River Severn pilots must be some of the most experienced in the world, their local knowledge and skill required to bring a ship into Sharpness and out again is immense. Many thanks for yet another great video!
Hi Julian, I agree, considering the difficulty in getting a ship into the port there are very few mishaps.
Beautifully filmed and narrated - thanks for all the hard work involved to share this with us.
My pleasure, so glad you enjoy my films.
Chris,
I've only recently found your channel and it's already one of my favourites. I find the procedure of the arrivals and departures so calming, and there is always a slight air of mystery... where have they been... where are they going?. You've pulled off a difficult trick, that of finding a new style of TH-cam channel. I wish you all the best.
Roger, in landlocked Leicestershire.
Very kind of you to say, makes it worthwhile for me to keep filming.
What a fantastic gob well done lads god bless you all 😊
Well said, many thanks
Excellent work
Brilliant video very much appreciated thank you
Thank you Keith, always a pleasure.
Thank you Chris for yet another brilliantly shot, edited and commentated film.
The music is similarly impressive too.
Best regards
Clive & Jill Field
Many thanks Clive. Happy Christmas to yourself and Jill, your support is most welcome.
Thank you Chris. You have a knack of presenting hard work in a tranquil and calming way. Your choice of music too, is relaxing.
Many thanks. I used to get slated for my choice of music!! I try to match the music with the speed of action on the film, unfortunately slow music tends to be sad music.
Loved the film
Many thanks Paul.
Once again a very enjoyable bit of filming. Super stuff Chris.
Many thanks Rob. Not much shipping at Sharpness this month!
Thank you for a fab film. Was a passenger on 2 merchant ships over 20 years ago. One was the Shetland trader which i just saw on u tube where it is based in the Faroe islands . BEST holiday ever.
I remember the Shetland Trader when she made regular runs to Sharpness, the days when I took still photographs only.
Well presented Ship.
I agree, nice shade of blue
Great pilot!
I agree
Hi what a lovely looking ship
Yes and kept smart too
Great Music but makes me feel sad .
I know what you mean. Getting music to match the speed of the film tends to be of the sad kind!
Nice film as always, a well maintained ship too. She was a tight fit in the lock. Am I right in thinking that if the ship is coming in at slack water high or at the start of the ebb she can come straight in without making the swing off the knuckle?
Hi Patrick, as you call it, ships come in at slack water high. As soon as they are through the outer basin gates they are closed.
Chris. Does Sharpness dock export any cargo OR is in imports only like many ports. I was on a 15,000 to Ro/Ro that sailed from Felixtowe and the only cargo we had was one American built tractor.
Occasionally scrap metal is exported. Plus the odd cargo of grain.
Is the big grain silo at Sharpness in use?
@@chriswalford4161 Hi Chris, the large building on the left of the dock, adjacent to the shipyard, is storage for organic wheat. The one on the right, midway up the dock is closed down. Company pulled out during this past summer. Grain does still come into Sharpness and is offloaded onto lorries. Where it goes then I have no idea.
