I've been a tug captain for 28 years. I've always wanted to see this. I could listen to the engineer all day. Proper gent.
-
God bless you for keeping this lovely boat alive!! She has a soul.
-
Great to see older guys like this that are not only passionate about their craft but also willing to share their knowledge and experience. It's unfortunate but we will one day lose that generation and I just hope that the experience, knowledge, and stories get passed on.
-
His lesson on the coal at the beginning was awesome
-
The natural draught of that warm boiler is something else. The cleanliness of the smoke in the shots of the stack is amazing. I heard now in 2022 Welsh steam coal is hard to come by.
-
This has to be the best video of a steam engine start up I have seen! love the grease and grime! the realism, perfect resource for us scale modelers.
-
one has to really appreciate guys like Jim, i guess a volunteer. he just gets into the dirty work and does it as well as giving a very clear and knowledgeable running commentary of what he is doing and why it needs doing. excellent work dear sir. ps i really appreciated the whole video but Jim is the icing on the cake......
-
What a fantastic informative video. These old steam tug boats are like real living breathing machines. Amazing engineering the steam engine. How great that there are volunteers that are happy to work and maintain these beautiful vintage vessels. Many thanks for sharing!
-
Amazing bit of engineering that, I love machinery that you can actually see working, cam shafts turning, lots of grease and noise! :) Great video as always :)
-
I absolutely love steam boats, I hope they build more of them. Such a classic mode of transport, tough work but absolutely rewarding.
-
Cracking video Chris. As a live steam enthusiast and model steam builder (before we set sail) I just love to see fire in the boiler and pressure in the gauge. These guys are so passionate and knowledgeable about the subject and its really good to see these vessels being loved and still running. It is living history that we need ti pass onto the next generation. Thanks for sharing. Ant. (Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew).

I have been a ship's engineer all my life and sailed on steam and motor ships since the 1980's, but never coal-fired; so I am fascinated by this. I am now the chief engineer on board the MS Oldenburg - Lundy Island Ferry, enjoying a hobby and getting paid for it!
-
I steamed US Navy ships 1200psi at 975 degrees and it is great to see these old steamers still up and running! Thanks!
-
the fireman/engineer is amazing. he explains it all very good.
-
I love how this video shows a "historic" tug, 30 years newer than mine :) Although the one I own is nowhere near original, converted to diesel after WW2 and now on at least her second diesel engine. Great video, thank you.
-
OMG, Emma just makes my heart smile. Such an Angel.
-
The vessels steam engineer is a delightfully knowledgeable and articulate gentleman.
-
The Welsh Coal sounds like a higher quality Bituminous. Such a small steam tug! Interesting. Thank you.
-
Love listening to the engineer / engineman natter on, bet he'd talk about steam engines all day if you let him.
