Wonderful! Some of my earliest marine memories are of tugboats on the Thames in and around London. The Port of London was still busy in those days and tugs towing strings of lighters were a common sight. The power station as far up river as Kingston-on-Thames was coal-fired and all the fuel was brought by lighter.
I absolutely love these videos, thank you for producing them, the English subtitles are very much appreciated too. I know your videos focus on the engine, the skipper and the boat's history but I wonder if you could add a quick question to the skipper about the ships whistle? I collect air horns and originally found your channel due to searching Y.T. for tug boat horns and have stayed for the quality videos. Many thanks and G'day from Australia.
Mooie sleper ook. Niet verpest doordat veel oudere slepers tegenwoordig ook moeten kunnen duwen en er dan vreemde bouwsels aan de boeg gelast worden en stuurhutten die vele meters in de lucht kunnen.
Na het starten op lucht, wordt de tank dan automatisch weer op druk gebracht, of moet daar handmatig wat voor gebeuren ? Dank voor de vele mooie filmpjes, Heere 🤝
voor de ondertiteling natuurlijk. Nederlands is een prachtige taal maar voor merendeel van de wereld is het niet te volgen. Ik zie veel te vaak reacties op dit kanaal dat mensen het fantastisch vinden maar er niets van begrijpen. Deze video is voor ons nederlands sprekende inderdaad dubbel maar voor alle anderen is dit precies waar ze naar zochten. Ik ben oprecht blij met aanpassing van deze video!
Hi Condensation happens in the cylinders , on some engines they have safety valves to get rid of the chance of water in the bores. sometimes if engines are overworked the safety valves would blow when you speed up and that is frightening , just like 6 shot guns going off. Cheers
I trained on Enterprise engines at Fort Eustis in 1967. I was amazed by the technology. Direct reversing, air start, and 600 hp at 600 rpm. One engine had an acrylic crank case cover so we could see the lower end in operation.
@@tracylemme1375 I owned 4 enterprises. One tug had a DMG 8 that was 500 HP at 400 rpm. Then I had a tug with 2 of the same engines except they had aluminum pistons and bigger injectors and were turbo charged and were 1350 HP each. But the first tug I owned had a small 6 cylinder enterprise that turned 360 RPM and was 200 HP. It was direct reversing also. The heavy duty low RPM engines were actually more powerful than their rated HP.
Een dieselmotor die twee jaar ouder is dan ondergetekende en nog helemaal origineel wat werd er in de vijftiger jaren toch goed spul gebouwd in Nederland. Helaas verloren gegaan.
Beautiful little tug that plays beautiful music.
Wow, love everything! Love the boat, the motor, the history, the idling sound. Thanks for this great video and for the english subtitles!
Couldn´t agree more, but the one thing missing in all of these video´s, is a room tour of the interior.That would be great.
@@stevehislop I agree, that would be even more awesome!
Love that sound when it revs up, pure music.
1958... boot en machine zien er uit als nieuw, mooi hoor en houden zo!
Fantastic. Love older Tugboat.
Lovely video even better with the English subtitles.
Stork, was toch een sterk merk.
Het is een pracht motor en na 63 jaar nog steeds mooi om te horen
What a sweet little ship!
muy bien cuidado y operado el antiguo remolcador......se ve que hay dedicacion y cariño, felicitaciones
saludos
Heel mooi die langzaam lopers. Inderdaad varende museumstukken. Geweldig dat die behouden blijven.
Als kleine jongen op de oosterscheldewerken patatjes eten bij Rob aan boord. Mooie herinneringen!
Damn he is a one man army on that sweet boat.

Thanks for the English subtitles. I know afrikaans, but I often don't understand what is being said.
Clean running engine, no smoking exhaust and that goes for the other engines I've seen on this channel.
A fine vessel, for sure.

Leuk verjaarscadeau, bedankt!
Don't tell anybody but I used to fall asleep on the engine covers of a US Coast guard 40 footer with two 671 Jimmy's humming away under me.
Toller Motor-Sound, wie Musik!
stunning
O som dessa máquina e uma orquestra
Excellent
LOVE IT PERFECT
Mooi weer, dank je wel 👍
Heerlijke diesel muziek
Uitstekend!!!!
Mooi
Is de sleper in onderhoud geweest bij de fa,van Vlaardingen te Gouda ? Groetjes van Cor
Are these engines still available? From the specialist or from scrap yards?........I love this one the ARO 216

How would there be water in the pistons of it has sat for a while? Is it leaking in from coolant?

He never flipped the rocker oil reservoirs latches back down?
I think that the position that he left them in is the running position,you put them down when you stop the engine to save oil.
Music!
Find a DMG 8 Enterprise engine to profile. Johnny B good would be right at home picking to the rhythm of an Enterprise.

That is a good marriage.
What a lovely old girl, but tell me, is that bird shit on the rocker arm?
