For everyone saying the seas aren‘t rough: 1 Waves ALWAYS look a lot smaller on video. 2 This tugboat is 58 meters long and weighs 650 gross tonnes. And yet the waves still break over the deck. Modt of you would be seasick if you were there, let alone on a smaller vessel where you would probably shit your pants.
Exactly. Thank you. I dont even bother responding to those keyboard warriors who can't even enjoy a simple video. It was a great trip and i enjoyed it a lot, especially with these waves.
@@MaximusAemilius010 And the stern deck is around 1 meter above the water so when seas wash through the freeing ports that's a rocking and rolling day, not to mention when one or another breaks over the rail as seen in your thumbnail. Is there a tour video of this very fine vessel? I was a deckhand for half a dozen years towing fuel oil out of NYC and one of the best mess cooks in the fleet... so when I say tugboats are in my blood I really mean it
@@MaximusAemilius010 Maurice, I can sympathise with you, I first discovered the rough sea verses the camera phenomenon back in the mid 70s when fishing in the Great Australia Bight, any pictures I took looked like a walk in the park when actually there was 6 ft of green water standing over the bowrail. I think the answer is to have a gimballed mount for the camera so the camera remains vertical as the ship rolls , either that or get shots of an accompanying vessel who is enjoying similar conditions. Maybe that would convince the aforementioned keyboard warriors. A great video, makes me long to be back at sea.
I was on a ocean going tug for years. 1939 prototype. That is a calm sea in my book compared to what we went out in. The vessels primary duty was search and rescue.
Agreed, thats nothing compared to what I've seen and been in. I'm not a tub operator but I've run commercial fishing boats many times in far worse weather
+Maurice Verschuur Looks like a typical (aka shitty) winter day offshore. That's a pretty big tug. I worked on 96', and seen many winter days like this. I wish video did the waves justice. The video never captures the full force of it, or the duration. 2 minute clip vs the real days upon days of living in it. My first trip out, I remember hitting land finally. felt like the whole world was moving. Be safe, brother.
+Maurice Verschuur : Many years ago I was in Sydney and used to enjoy rough Harbour crossings on the Manly Ferry. My ideal experience was to pick a rough day, take the ferry to Manly, then hide in the gents toilet for 10 minutes until all passengers had transferred off and on, then go on deck and travel back and forth between the two destinations until I'd had enough for the day. Very amusing for a young lad 😅

Tugs are the 4x4’s of the boat world, small but very very powerful.
Elbe is 58 meters long
where are the rough seas at in the video? these are small swells!!!!!
There's an idiot response lol
Thank you for your grrreat contribution.
Yes there are rougher seas, but this wasn't a smooth sailing either.

prachtig filmpje !! dank je !!
Zeewaardig en met zeelieden uit het gouden monsterboekje!👍🏻

daar kan ik nou uren naar kijken
Glad the 2 open engine hatches were finally closed. That furniture got a fair old knocking about. Hope the galley had some spare plates and glasses 😯
Not all glasses survived. So yes, we dit had to use some spare ones ;-)

No young lad could ever have enough of being swept across the rolling seas
Nice day for the Bering Sea.
Even a very nice day for the Northsea!
That ain't the bering sea!
They wouldn't survive in the bering sea with tug boat like this
2:07 min. GHOSTHOUSE! ò,ó
die staan nu ook wast
Rough ?? That's a balmy day on the North Atlantic.
I was wondering where the deck chairs were ? Then I saw them at 2:07. Those things belong outside !
north sea*
dit jaar was ook leuk 9 dagen aan boord
Hi
This is absolutely nothing for the Elbe, she has been through a lot worse
Dit is absoluut niks voor de Elbe ze heeft heel veel erger doorgemaakt
Rough seas??? Lol this is a flat out joke. Lol 😆
