1:07 Having all the different whistles coming in individually is one of the coolest things I have ever heard in my life... The whistle is certainly as strong as the name suggests!
Good ol' Hercules, still tuggin after nearly a century. Carry on ma'dear. Edit: OVER a century, Hercules is 100 years old as of 2007 (Hercules was built in 1907)
The tugboat for its size is the most powerful craft afloat And the star tugs are the power behind the docks and industries that make up the bigg city port This is TUGS
Boy howdy, she's a loud one! The old girl chugs up very nicely. Amazing that she is still making her way through the currents after 100 years and counting. Great video!
@@buzzygaming7667 Hercules is actually based off of a steam tug in San Francisco of the same name. Here is a Wikipedia article covering that vessel: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(1907)
I wouldn’t know, but I think it’s one of the most beautiful I’ve heard. The only one that beats it is the whistle of the RMS Mauretania, which was built the same year. A high quality recording of it was made, as the whistle was sold to a mill after the ship was scrapped. It now rests with a collector.
0:58 Wait a minute! That doesn’t sound like the TUGS character at all. That’s a steam whistle, not a chime whistle. 1:11 Ahh, that’s our d’arly, sweet’art boy
As much as I love the sound of a steam locomotive’s whistle, this old steam tug is giving them a run for their money with this beautifully harmonic hooter!
This beauty I been on her and she is steamed up and she is treated with loads of love by here crew she can sail the waters 100 yearsago to current and 100 years and more to come

There are a lot of ships with impressive horns and whistles, but this is the only ship I know that also can giggle.
I revisit this every once in a while and absolutely L-O-V-E it! I wish Steam Tugs here in the US would do this lol

Boskov01 I think this is a different Hercules
SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!!!
five whistles, one vessel. fantastic
Excellent video, m’dear. It’s nice to see the inspiration behind Hercules from TUGS.
Me: *Faints* ❤️v❤️
That ain't the Hercules's basis William
The tugboat for its size is the most powerful craft afloat
And the star tugs are the power behind the docks and industries that make up the bigg city port
This is TUGS
**E P I C M U S I C**
Bless me what a noise...but absolutly briliant

Anyone notice the similarities between this tug and the Hercules from TUGS?
yes, this one is dutch :)
I'm pretty sure this is a different Hercules
just a thought MAYBE hercules from tugs is based off this

Hercules's whistle sounds kinda like a combo of both the S.S Hercules's whistle and this tug's whistle to me
The whistle has a strong Union Pacific flavor to it

no, sorry but it doesn’t.
The chime whistle they had adding to the sound at the end was very japanese sounding to me
What the fuck are you talking about it's a whistle my guy
@@rexjolles it's actually 4 whistles...
Man if only i owned this thing
I’d get nowhere, all the steam would be going to the whistle lol
0:57 I need this
Sounded like a train that got mad
Yes
4 steam whistles and a stream siren!
ᴊᴀᴄᴋᴄᴏʀᴠᴇᴛᴛᴇ [Autobot,1967 Corvette, Age: 37] ok I was talking about the whistles
@@dieselking6812 they were all 4 or 3-chimes...maybe 5-chimes!
@@bluerazor7049 2 2 pipe whistles, one 2 chime whistle, one 3 chime whistle and a steam siren

1:11 Ahh, that’s our d’arly, sweet’art boy
1:23 Hahahaha, what the heck was that, it sounds like it did a whoop, whoop, doo doo doo doo 😂😂😂😂
That was a steam siren
@@Getsmashed_44 Oh okay
I love steam engines
0:58
Me ok that was cool
1:08
Me: I can't hear
As much as I love the sound of a steam locomotive’s whistle, this old steam tug is giving them a run for their money with this beautifully harmonic hooter!
MAN THAT WAS INSANE
1:16 one sounds like southern 4501's 3 chime
Holy shit, it does!
115 and still kicking
Pretty cool. What's the sound at the end, a siren?
Yes that´s an navy steam siren
Why'd it sound a bit like Zoidberg at the end?
@@erisdiscordia1649 just thinking that lol
Something is punching itself to death in the engineroom 🤔
Is she still steamed up occasionally, or is she permanently moored?
This beauty I been on her and she is steamed up and she is treated with loads of love by here crew she can sail the waters 100 yearsago to current and 100 years and more to come
0:58
0:59 finally
What is that at 1:23?
A steam siren, some steamboats or tugs, have that feature.
@@andrewbethune5 Also many naval vessels of the era.
What’s she doing in Holland?
I would imagine you are thinking of the Hercules from San Francisco? This one is a Dutch Switcher with the same name. I believe it's Dutch anyways
