    That is amazing to me. Since I will never have the chance to work a tug... I really appreciate your giving me the chance to at least watch it up close. Your soft easy touch and perfect control is just unbelievable to me.

    That takes me back, the early morning jobs on a clear day, the smell of a not yet warm diesel exhaust the rattle of cavitation and tea cups jangling. its a more high-tech world out there but I am glad I did the job.

    Great videos Wil. Brings back a lot of memories for me. I grew up in Staten Island and as a kid we used to hang around the Moran tug yard on Richmond terrace. Later in my life I worked for Sealand deepsea, that was in the seventies. Man how things have changed. Hey congrats on your journey thru sobriety. Been there done that. Keep up the good work.

    It's real cool to watch you work from the inside. I worked at APM terminal for almost 35 years. I watch you guys bring in so many ships it was always interesting watching you guys turn them around. enjoyed watching. If you would have had a UA-cam channel back then. I would have been yelling to you from the dock keep up the good work stay safe.

      @@tugboatwilly843 UA-cam will always process the 360p version first because it can get the video out quicker. You as a creator have the option to put it in private for UA-cam to finish processing the higher quality vids. The longer the video the longer it takes them to kickout the higher quality. Usually it's about half the time of the total video or less unless the quality is up to 8K.

    @TalbotBrooks Місяць тому +1

    New subscriber. Thanks for the inside look. A couple of questions if/when you have some time. First, I never realized just how disorienting it can be when alongside monster-sized vessels - I had a tough time telling when the tug was turning, when the ship was turning, and when both were turning. How do you stay oriented? Second: is there some sort of strain gauge that's on the capstan for the tow line which allows you to know just how much force you're putting forth - and perhaps more importantly, allows you to know how effectively you're working and how close you might be to snapping the line? Thanks in advance!

    • @tugboatwilly843
      @tugboatwilly843  Місяць тому

      Yes there is a tonnage meter to let me know how hard I’m pulling. It’s really not hard to stay oriented probably the camera is messing with you. Thanks for watching 🤙

    Much respect to you tug guys. When I was stationed on Submarine, USN, I was a topside line handler, y'all were great to work with and your monkey fist slinging skills were always pro-ball. Thanks for what you do. Its one of those jobs that are out there, but not out there, very much in the shadows. I don't think people really realize how dangerous your work is....The size of the Maersk hull next to your boat, and the small line holding that ship in place...alot going on at the same time and the levels of danger is through the roof, especially with that line right in your face like that. Kudos brother.
    Was your tug the only one that was working with that ship??
