Built the billing boat model of this tug in the year of 1979. Lots of shipmodels later i can say that this tug gave me the interest of ocean going tugs. What a great ship !

Ik begrijp nog steeds niet waarom Smit Internationale moest ophouden te bestaan. Zo’n toonaangevende wereldspeler.

I agree, Houston, Rotterdam, New York, London Were the best to set giant concrete platforms at location. I remember Bob Overand a Super Captain.

Great presentation--and music. Would any of those small models be the Heller kit? In any case I saw one image featuring the S.S United States, on which I sailed from Le Havre to New York when I was a boy in 1955. Thanks! Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).

Is there anywhere online where an in-depth history of these ships can be found? I've got both the Heller kit of the Rotterdam and the Revell kit of the Houston and been keen to know the history behind the real ships as well as their sisters for a while.

What's being towed is an oil platform. Allmost all of the tugs are being scrapped, yes.

Ah I see. Sorry mate, I don't know. :) Yeah, scrapped in an awful place. I was a sailor on the Witte Zee (and some other Smit tugs) and when I saw pictures of this beautiful vessel being towed to het graveyard, I was crying...
