No, i'm pretty sure the roaring of the George Stephenson was the bow thruster, not the propulsion engine...
delightful ships and boats; such a haven for these beauties of yesteryear. Thank you.
She is most new bespoke design Ed Hull to house and the amazing ire. S the owner treasures. The the steam engine is a British admjffg dez9bujlt in lowestoft and the varnener re uilt to origin and spec the new oil fired boer was made in German y
What a Beautiful Craft !
George Stevenson !
That's one of the prettiest boats I've ever seen.
nice ship, and nice yachts - thank you for posting :)
Thank you for watching! ;)
On the sign on the port quarter is says S.S. George Stephenson which should designate it as a steam ship, but it looked and sounded like a diesel.
I just found your channel. I love it. Greetings from Columbus, Ohio.
Welcome Brian, greetings to you too! ;)
that's a beautiful boat.
Great colour scheme... Nice wide birth too!
Unlike the short term term investments in 🇬🇧 and the Dutch take the long viewand look after their best. Their interest
The sound is the bow thruster, not the engine, and it says ‘S.S.’ On the placard but I don’t see any smoke emitting from the stack.
Neat charter boat nice catch I probably will never see one again
I have a lot more scenes/ videos of this ship..
that was brilliant , all those boats & barges , i could sit watching that video all day lol , i love boats ,i go on a boating holiday over here in the uk on the norfolk broads every year , i really love it .
Nice to read you like it too Lori, ik hope you will have a lot of fun in the uk! :)
Especially with a pint of woosfoordes wherry in the 🖐️ 👍
Very Nice Ship Any Info On The 'GEORGE STEPHENSON' Were When What How ETC?
She is a credit to her owner and his dedication to bfktk9 engineering oh a. X da k u well. I got your blspk9ag oostende and vkoor u Anker u a few yrs ago
The roaring engine is actually the bowthruster
Thank you for the information Malcolm Carter!
So that would, in fact, be a roaring electric motor and its vibrations in the hull.
Bowthrusters are frequently hydraulic.Electrics and water don't do well together!
@@malcolmcarter5541 I Is that why they use Azipods on so many large cruise ships. They are electric You know.
@@Simon-dm8zv It is likely that it is an electric bow thruster, but the noise level is much higher than normal so it could have some damage to a blade on it.
If it was a hydraulic thruster it would be a much deeper pitch.
I also noticed a distinct lack of marking near the waterline showing where the thruster is located. That marking is required for safety reasons. ( no insurance worth the money without proper markings. )
I have seen a similar size boat with a 15 hp diesel motor to power the bow thruster, so any valid power supply for ship use can be used to run maneuvering thrusters.
Nice
What a beauty this boat is. Could someone explain the sail or sails at the stern?
When a vessel is underway in strong winds the little sail can act like a stabilizer or tail on a kite. Also, at anchor the little sail will help keep the vessel from wandering from side to side, heading into the wind.
Thank you! Makes perfect sense, now I know.
Good morning
I watch the video.
How nice, good day to you too and we hope you like this one :)
I WISH THE CANAL SYSTEM IN THE UK WAS AS PRACTICAL AND BIG AS THIS.....
That will only ever happen if more people buy boats and use the canal ..
That is a wonderful old boat. Engines kinda sound like hammers in a washing machine tho.
😄
Thats why they call a bowthruster ,,spijkerbak,,
Nice looking ship!
Big Bill O'Reilly No, I’m not. And you can keep your comments to yourself.
Where is this? The George Stephenson is steam powered ship. A wonderful design from the 1950s. Named after one of the pioneers of steam powered locomotives.
Groningen, a city in the Netherlands Zachary Barth!
@@ShipSpottingNederland but registered in Cayman?
Actually, Zachary Barth, it is probably unique in being both steam AND Diesel powered; the skipper choses which one he wants to use (provided the boiler is lit, of course). The oil engine is a Gardner 8L3, probably from a British Railways class 03 shunter or other simlar locomotive. 8L3s are not exactly quiet, but never as vocal as that in a class 03, so I suspect that the bow-thruster theory may be correct. I've had the good fortune to go aboard her, and I can tell you that she is every bit as pretty, and immaculate, inside as she is out, but I haven't seen her on the move under Diesel power.
Sh zlso has an 8 cylinder Gardener diesel driving the sbaftvia same geartrain
very kool vid
Thank you Caribbean Shipspotting!
Could this steady sail be used as an auxiliary power source in the case of main engine failiure?
Good question cumulus: it could be, but i am not sure, because its not very big :)
Not even a little bit. It is far too small.
There is no way that sail would poswe the vessel
It's a shame GS is probably laid up during the coronavirus pandemic.
I am curious about the steam whistle from a New York tugboat Any idea who made it? An identical looking and sounding whistle was used by cable works in Prescot , 10 km east of Liverpool for much of the 20th century. That whistle could only have been UK made c. 1890s Would like to know about GSs whistle, if the manufacturer is known. I know it's a long shot however. Hope GS can visit the Mersey after the COVID-19 pandemic has passed.
I think you are right, corona is messing thinks up indeed! Hope you like this whistle too Paul: ua-cam.com/video/GqZVDNOL8GI/v-deo.html
What’s with th3 little sail on the back is it traditional?
Good question Steel m, anyone?...

@@TomasAWalker53 Thank you very much for the information, i appreciate it!
Thomas A. Walker is correct, this is indeed a sail solely for stability purposes
It controls roll.
A small sail in the stern helps to hold a straight course, small drifter fishing boats use these. At the speed that the vessel is travelling she will be steering by use of the rudder not using a bow thruster.
She
She is using the bow thruster , the noise you can hear is it cavitating. As for the mizzen sail , it is normally used to keep a boats head into the wind and also slows the rolling motion. A sail of that size on a ship this big would be there to look nice and have very little practical use.
Hi ru serious re I le thruster hse😬
Well, NO, it isn’t the “roaring engine”. If you really knew boats, you’d realize what you are hearing is the bow thruster periodically pushing the bow to starboard. You can see it disturbing the water at the bow as it is running.
a wonderful vessel but won't fit under many European bridges if you want to travel through Europe...
Neither did my 16m high mast and it ha e do e mjcoc the Ndfberl. Dz s fee times o er 45 yeads6b
Yachts in Islamic countries are so good
I DID NOT HEAR ANY ROARING ENGINE!
How is that possible?
