- This was the perfect set of ducks in a row. Perfect time of day 11:15am. Good weather, no wind or rain. Someone to keep Paddy at home. So off I go. Note to self, next time take battery pack. There’s always something. Battery quickly dying on me. I met a new friend Paul. Hi Paul 👋🏻 He was, like me, a ship enthusiast. There was a terrific long wait for the river/basin levels to equalise and Paul was very interesting company. I nearly didn’t last until she left the dock but I’m grateful that me and my battery did last. I always feel emotional when I see the ship sail out to sea. Maybe it’s because my dad was a merchant seaman and I used to be sad to see him go.
Love the sound of ships Dessel engine all ways reminds me of my time at sea in the merchant navy
Yes me too, I couldn’t capture it well enough though!
Yeah John, me too. I was on bigger ships than this....mostly Bulk Carriers....but I did a fair bit of coasting around the UK on smaller vessels such as this.
Wish I could turn the clock back!
Hi :-) Thank you for a great video. It reminds me of watching ships entering and leaving the Port Of Preston when I was a child. I could watch ships for hours. Just love the sight, sound and smell of it all. Thanks again, Tim
Thank you I love it too , so I’m happy to share 😊😊
Cool video, Thats a great place for up close spotting.
Thank you Mac yes it’s the best ‼️
Got to be one of the better ship viewing places, able to get nice and close, its a busy time in the dock 🙏🙏
Yes I think we are very lucky here 😊
Another very good video, thanks for waiting so long for her to pass through the gates into the river. She still looks in very good condition under new ownership. Arklow ships are always kept on very good condition. I was very lucky to be invited aboard the Arklow Sand when she was in Glasson Dock a few years ago I was very impressed. Thanks again 🙂
Thank you so much David. Yes she looks very good. It was a long wait this time, but it was worth it 😊😊😊
I used to deliver chemicals to the arklow fleet all over the uk used to get to some amazing places where you would think would be the last place you could get a ship . Arklow keep there ships in tip top condition excellent crews also supplied Royal fleet auxiliary very interesting to see.
Thank you that’s very interesting. Yes it amazes me to see the size of the ships coming in at Sharpness. 😊
Great ships, great heritage in shipping ..
Used to ply the MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL
That must have been exciting!

😂😂😂😂 yes make sure you do🤣🤣🤣
@deevaknight8237 😝😝😝
Enjoyed that, Thankyou . Do you know what the 3 masted square rigged ship in the background Is ?
Hi I’m glad you enjoyed it, I think the tall ship is Tenacious. She’s in my more recent video. She’s under threat of being sold atm there’s a petition to keep her as a training vessel for less able seamen.
Thankyou I’ll look it up. I’m in Melbourne Aust and we have the Polly Woodside, similar story which has been restored and a tourist attraction .
You sound lovely!
Awe thank you ☺️ 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for the name check
Paul
Yay Paul, thanks for being a buddy for that long wait. I don’t think I’d have stuck it out without you!
A see she is the ex Arklow ship Arklow Fame her hull is still in the Arklow green colour of that shipping company
Yes I was just looking that up when you messaged!
Interesting video, I wonder what her cargo is ? And what is that huge sailing ship ?
Thank you. Could have been scrap metal, fertiliser or cement. The other tall ship is called the Tenacious, she’s a training vessel for special needs crew. They are desperately trying to get funding to keep her afloat. Loads of videos on yt about her.
@@Gintonics2 Thank you ..🙂🙂
@@Gintonics2 I'm really sorry to hear that about Tenacious, I haven't seen her in a long time ; it's usually Lord Nelson that turns up in Dublin or here in Dún Laoghaire .. Sad..
@@damienhill6383 yes I really hope they can keep her going.
Excellent video, thanks. Can I suggest you change your channel name to 'Sharpness Shipspotting' or something like that?
I'll think about it but I’m really just a local enthusiast, I can’t pretend to know much about shipping. I am daughter to Master Merchant Mariner and have always loved ships so I am happy to share what I see. ☺️
Lovely girl
i see the ship was registered in st johns, would that be newfoundland canada?
I believe it’s St John’s Antigua Barbuda
What did it bring to Sharpness?
We don’t actually know. 😊
I checked with Paul and he thinks it was cement
