Alan, certainly it is! I sometimes have the honour to serve voluntarily as a captain on the BUSSARD during the Kiel-week ("Kieler Woche"), it´s great! Then, at other times, I just help bunkering coal, so I´m a trimmer then ... it depends, which service is necessary at that very moment and as we are all volunteers anyway, everybody helps wherever it is necessary. While certainly it has be kept in mind, that those people serving as engineers ore navigators need to have a valid certificate of competency. My main profession is to be a sea pilot on the east part of the Kiel-Canal and the Kiel-Fjord. Jürgen Marth

@@kielerforde8495 Thanks Jurgen! I will certainly visit Bussard when I am in Germany. Does it sail only once per year, or more regularly?

Yes, that's so pity. Many old sailing ships have been rescued or reconstructed, which is nice, but the old steamships were carelessly scrapped in the 1950s to 1960s. They were no longer economical. This ship was as a buoy tender in government service and was saved. Also we have received in Germany, two old steam icebreakers and a Ship what built as Hamburg's state yacht. All this ships were last in the government service and are today museum ships. Then there are 3 steam passenger ships and a few steam tugboats, but that is all that could be obtained from seagoing vessels. No old cargo ship, no old warship, everything went through the blast furnaces. But on rivers, there are still many old Paddle steamer what you can be proud of. Most of this ships 100 to 150 years old. Fortunately, not everything was destroyed or scrapped after the war for commercial reasons. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hplhjdOBl52zqas.html

Sadly, it is true, The U.S. shows poorly for preserving its steamship maritime heritage. Very bad.

The SS United States is in Philadelphia. Make a large donation.

I am a steamboat and steam whistle enthusiast. Our good old U.S.A. is pathetic on preserving our history and heritage with ships and architechual masterpieces, brownstone mansions, buildings and such. Our best ocean liner, the "United States" is corroding away and no one gives a dam to restore and preserve it. I have seen so, so much lost in my 76 years. Sadly, our historical societies lack money, influence, authority and support.

Basically the same technique, just a little bit smaller.

You raise a good point AND you make sense. I have only seen 1 video of a triple expansion engine in which the connecting rods were completely silent at all RPMs. I think it was of a US battleship. 😀

The paddle steamer "Freya" (build in 1905) is powered by a 2-cylinder compound steam engine for the paddles wheels. Optionally, the ship can also be driven with a 400 hp diesel engine via a propeller.

Paddlesteamer. It is running on Gas these days. There is a 400hp backup Engine to drive the Propeller. The propeller "runs" with the drag. Voith clutch if i remember

Freya kinda looks like OJ from Tugs.

Das sind keine Abgase, sondern es ist nur Rauch von den Kohlefeuern in den Dampfkesseln. Rauch ist zwar auch nicht gesund, wenn man ihn direkt einatmet, aber erheblich ungefährlicher als Abgase, Feinstaub und CO2 aus einem Dieselmotor.

Grüße aus Schwerin, Deutschland. Das Event nennt sich "Hanse Sail" und findet alljährlich Anfang August in Rostock / Warmenmünde statt. Ein klassisches Oldtimer -Treffen.

Danke für Ihre Wertschätzung :-) Name - nein, weiß ich leider nicht.

Jonny Weissmueller ;-) .... der bedient auch die Dampf-Metro in Bucharest... ....

Aaaah Danke :-D!

Dieser Jonny reist ja um die halbe Welt für ein wenig Dampf ;-)!

The same is true for me! :-)

@@diverhans1 I'd say the same lol-

Einen Zustand "Leerlauf" gibt es bei einer Dampfmaschine im Schiffsbetrieb nicht, da die Maschine mit der Antriebswelle direkt verbunden / gekoppelt ist. "Achtung" heißt nichts weiter als "GANZ langsam". Auf einigen Maschinentelegraphen steht statt "Achtung" auch "Ganz langsam" drauf. Im Englischen heißt das auf den ETO's (englisch: ETO=engine order telegraph) dann "DEAD SLOW".

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort :)

Same engine, smaller package.

This is a steam powered pump that pumps the water from the condenser back into the water storage. Unlike locomotives, steam is not lost on ships after they have worked in the machine. The Steam is cooled in the condenser by cooling water (sea water) from the outside and as water is then pumped back into the water storage.

2:04 is a duplex feed pump. It pumps the water from the hotwell (storage tank) into the boiler. This pump is independently steam driven. There are two sets of steam & water cylinders. The steam cylinders are on the left and the water cylinders are on the right. The little linkages drive the valves to control the steam in the cylinder. At 2:09 are the "air" pump and circulating pump. The "air" pump pumps both air and water out of the condenser. The condenser cools the exhaust steam into water using seawater going through tubes. The condenser is built into the frame and is the green oval shape behind most of the crank and connecting rod shots. The circulating water pump moves seawater through the tubes. Both are driven by a "walking beam" lever from the high pressure crosshead.

It's a bouy tender, it's used to place bouys wherever they are needed.

its not sinking your mom sinked rn

I er, uh, nein?

Nur weil das Schiffchen historisch ist und Kohle verbrennt? Ernsthaft? Sie sind echt lächerlich.
