Amidst these peaceful surroundings is the smoke, stench and noise of a Crosseley two stroke diesel, peace only returning when it splutters and breaks down .
I wonder if at 13:57 the barges contain large bales of loose asbestos, the workers oblivious to the dangers and the scene made all the more shocking by the soothing music and calm commentary referring to the idyllic countryside.
Hi I used to work on the Ceekay tug she had a Bolnes 6 cly two stroke 400 hp 300rpm direct drive reversing engine she was a cow to start in the cold weather on a Monday morning, it took us two hours one day and when she did you could not see across the river at Cherry Garden Pier for the smoke, But as we all said she liked a smoke first thing !!!!
