Me and my wife think that piece of important Equipment, is for monitoring the vessel stability My thoughts are it has to do with you can NOT get in bad weather. Low freeboard, it has to do with a transport ship like that because of carrying VIP smaller vessel and that it sinks the hull.

[@britannia-foundry]

Big thank you to Yuri for his eagerness to share knowledge and WOW what a bridge, what an amazing place to work being at least 3 times the area I was expecting.

[@markshutt1476]

Wow! Bridge, ships office, garden, lounge. All together. The amount of space must be great for the watch standers. Thanks to you and Yuri.

[@MIDTOWNE1]

I concur 100%!!

A Barograph! A beautiful and very accurate piece of equipment for recording barometric pressure

[@johnhunter273]

I second this!

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

👍🏻

[@jonhill373]

Yes indeed

[@josephstevens3357]

100%

[@ralphvanthoff]

I believe it's a popcorn maker.

[@okoustrup]

The instrument is a recording barometer. Some 'old' stuff - but really functioning. You can follow the barometric pressure and see if a low or high pressure front is developing

[@grahamedwards6824]

It's actually called a barograph. It records the barometric pressure continuously on a paper chart, usually for a week at a time.

[@okoustrup]

@@grahamedwards6824 True, as a non english mothertongue that was the best I could translate it to In my young days I used to log that every day on the ships and glue the trip into the log end of week

[@colab_stdio]

Wow, THAT IS one huge bridge. If I'm a guest on that ship I'll certainly ask permission to chill there on my spare time. With 360 views it looks like a penthouse at sea! 💯 And oh, thanks for giving us a tour Tristan!

[@bobuncle8704]

Big shout out to Uri. Thank you so much for the bridge tour. Hey Tristan. Can we get an engineering tour next please. Amazing series. Keep em coming Was sitting in the chair for shadowing your next career change🤔

[@RichardBaran]

I love that the bridge it looks like the size of my house!

[@lindadoerr7919]

Yuri seemed happy to have the company of Tristan and all of us. Thsnks for the tour, Yuri!

[@andrewwoodall2214]

Yuri thanks for allowing for the walk around. The size of the bridge is truly amazing!!!

[@Jason-cl8hk]

Yuri looks like an excellent mate to have around. Perfect for a pub crawl in port, always fun to have around and if it all kicks off, useful to have on your side. 👍

[@BK-co9wn]

Great video Tristan and big shout out to Yuri and his lunchbox! It’s great he allowed you on the bridge and to show off his toys!

[@RandyLayton]

Thank you Yuri! Love the paper charts, spent hundreds of hours of my naval career with the notice to mariners and my charts, doing corrections and then laying down tracks. Was a submarine quartermaster and miss it just about every day. Thanks for the tour!

[@rbnhood39]

What an incredible wheelhouse. Yuri is the only guy on the bridge operating this massive ship. Thanks Yuri for the tour.

[@v12kid]

What an amazing bridge and it was weird to see how calm the water is. Big ups to Yuri! Very personable.

[@superdave2316]

I love how much time they spend looking out the back, while the ship moves forward with no other watchman.

[@edhardy7210]

Doesn't look good that someone who runs a channel about good sailing practice doesn't follow the COLREGs.

[@stevenadvensky1761]

I thought the same thing especially when he first walked into the bridge and there was no one there behind the wheel and controls.

[@j.p.5954]

Man only if every crossing looked that beautiful and calm! You can tell Yuri loves his job!

[@Xusia01]

Yuri, thank you for letting us get a view of the bridge. Much appreciated!

[@johnchristopher20]

OMG! “The earth is round”! Don’t tell Phil!

[@goldwingerppg5953]

That’s exactly what I thought. How would a flat earther circumvent the earth.

[@rp1645]

Thank you (URIE) a Professional Mariner. What a mind full of knowledge on those types of Transport Ships. The Bridge is the best looking all the Green plants help. The Lounge are WOW Just the neatest bridge. So much room.

[@genova2006]

Thanks for the tour of the ship’s bridge. I always tell people not familiar with navigation that if you take a round Earth and put it on a flat map your straight course line becomes apparently curved. Geometry. Great job you’ve got. Quite envious. Appreciate the video. 👍🏼

[@henrycarlson7514]

Interesting , Thank You . Another fine example of pride and years of hard work and study . As to Yuri , He was probably glad of the company . good to see that secondary crews lounge . Probably reserves for senior officers . As to the Captain personally controling the loading and unloading , He is afterall responsible . Thank you

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Yuri is an amazing officer! Thank you so much, Yuri!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I always wanted one of those recording barometers! I loved their design with all of their many beautiful bellows to accurately show the air pressure. At least a ship like this will always travel at sea level, except if transiting the Panama Canal and you might have to adjust for the elevation of the beautiful bridge.

[@philipvandoorn6470]

That's a Barograph, as many already observed. It was never a commonly installed instrument. We used to have ' Selected Ships' that would have one of those and other weather related instruments. These ships were 'selected' to make weather observations every 6 hours and send the results in a specific code to shore weather stations. It was great to see your reported weather included in the next scheduled ocean weather charts. This way of reporting the weather disappeared with the arrival of internet and fantastic weather charts and services that have made everyone an 'expert'. So Barographs are now sought after antiquities.

[@TheOUboy]

Nice big Bridge. Thanks Yuri

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Thanks to you and Yuri POV that I might see on TV but not with two people with as much experience together. It's good to see that you are still engaged in the ever learning and growing process as well. Great tour!

[@bobkrause2521]

Thank you to you, Yuri and the crew.

[@mykelsalter7941]

Thank you Yuri for allowing us to see your workplace. Tristan I am amazed to see how much room there is on the bridge of this vessel. I hope we can see more areas of this ship while you are on voyage to the USA. Thank you again for the fascinating insight of the bridge.

[@peterlazuric5641]

Thank you for the bridge tour. I have crossed the pond three times sailing with the Military Sealift Command. I woke up to many mornings like the one shown in this video. This really made me home sick for the sea again.😢😢

[@mykleraymond3700]

Be sure you check out the hi-tech instrument used to monitor the balance of the ship while pumping water aboard and off. The simple pendulum hanging by the window in front of the ballasting station. Every other video of a transport ship has the pendulum, and at least some captains use it as much as their other instruments. Thanks for the tour!

[@frankbrindle8598]

Thanks to Yuri and to you Captain

[@memjay9932]

Yuri is the man!!! Thanks

[@duncanjames914]

What an amazing video tour! I've always been intrigued by yacht transfer ships. Thanks for sharing.

[@palm7z]

Lol.. I am amazed by the comments.. how many men here were checking out Yuri's "package". 🤣🤣🤣

[@conorcrowl]

Incredible how quiet it is on the bridge. Hopefully you'll get the opportunity to see the rest of the ship

[@bionicsjw]

The ship is propelled by electricity. The engines run generators and I've read where these are more quiet. I've also been on the bridge of one of those large ships that carry cars from port to port and it was very quiet except for the crew,

[@DonOblivious]

Sure hope so too!

[@lucienbreidel7677]

Thanks to you and Yuri. I was not expecting that amount of space on the bridge. Ole got in before me but he is correct, a barometer.

[@classicraceruk1337]

Cheers Yuri, a great place to work when it’s calm like that

[@philipmason3218]

Yuri seems quite, AHEM, excited to display his paper charts.

Awesome tour interesting but we all want to see the engine room :) Plus Yuri is packing away some serious kit!!

[@CheersWarren]

A recording barometer, with a graphical readout to record the atmospheric pressure and the more importantly the change to give any indication of the changing weather . Thank Yuri for the tour

[@murda2999]

Looks like a hotel lobby! Not what I imagined. I assumed it would be so much smaller.

[@Chris-the-Saxon]

Wouldn't be aloud all the greenery on the bridge on the ships I've spent the last 15 years on. Glad I've left! Full uniform all the time, very relaxed look shorts and a t shirt

[@Walcingham509]

I wonder how many people looked at that Bridge and wished they had a house that big! Obviously someone on board has a green thumb! Thank you Captain these videos are great. I dont imagine many of us would ever see such a unique maritime vessel up close like this without your reports. Very Cool! And thank you to Yuri and the crew for letting us tag along. I have much respect for a man who wants paper maps on hand. Safe travels to you all and my questions are; Do most of the yachts being transported have crew onboard? Is everyone individually providing for their own chow or how does that work?

[@rp1645]

Brian great question. I personally think the crew members who do go with these great looking transporters. That the ship cook on that vessel provides the meals.

[@williamhill7421]

Hi Yuri, thanks for letting us check out the bridge!

[@calumhunter815]

Thank you Uri!

[@craigevans6156]

Always a good move to get to know the bridge and galley crew when on board. Generally be nice to everyone and they will help you out if you need assistance 😎

[@jrulison]

Thanks Yuri. This was awesome. I have shared each video of your crossing with some friends who have all commented on how cool this process is.

[@bobw222]

Fantastic bridge! Almost like a living room. Don't think I've ever seen any video of the Atlantic ocean that calm.

[@doubleT84]

Cool guy, thanks for the tour. And there is something about having plants on a ship in the middle of the ocean.

[@georgeburns7251]

That bridge is huge. And all those beautiful plants. Incredible. But the luxury aside, the ship reminds me of an LSD, but so far as the ship having a submersible well deck. Thank you and Yuri

That is the largest bridge I have ever seen. the plants are a nice touch.

[@bryanputt2640]

Awesome and so interesting. Safe arrival and unloading. Thanks Yuri

[@organblower]

The instrument you wanted identified is a recording barometer. It records with a stylus onto a rotating paper chart with an hourly grid printed on the blanks. It is for sure old tech. It may have a wind-up motor to turn the drum thru a series of gears like a clock. No electronics to go poof when lightening strikes! Great to have a backup device.

[@AmyB369]

I was very curious how they submerge the ship to load the yachts. Thank you for having him explain. I like all of their plants in the bridge 🌱🪴

[@rp1645]

It just goes straight down. Imagine if you will. A mobile Dry Dock ( with power to cross Oceans)

[@tomlee7651]

I've always regretted not going USNS after getting out of the U.S. Navy. I love seeing stuff like this. Thanks

[@rwech]

A whole lot bigger bridge than the FFGs, that's for sure.

[@operator0]

The waiting line to even get an entry level deckhand job was years long when I got out of the Navy. I was stationed on a USNS when I was in, so I know how cushy those jobs can be. Should have put in for it and just waited it out.

[@TEKASHll_]

Thanks for the tour of the Bridge. It's awesome!

[@simonanderson8778]

It’s a barometer with ink in the spatula marking the air pressure as the wheel turns the paper attached to the wheel. My grandad had one in his house. Good memories. I’d actually forgotten.

[@ThumperKJFK]

barometer chart recorder. :)👍 thank you Captain.

My brother was a captain on merchant ships and when ever he was in UK ports I would often visit him with my eldest son, my son always wanted a tour and when we got to the bridge he always made straight for the captains chair. The look on Tristans face was like looking at an older version of my sons face, the joy that chair gives you!!!🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍

That bridge could have a party with 100 people; but it looks like office space for about 25-30 people; instead, there is only one occupying the space and he is not even watching the helm…he’s 10 yards behind just chillaxing like he’s got nothing to do! WOW! Thanks for this insight!

Geoff beat me to the answer, he is correct! lol I crossed the Atlantic twice on a 116' Feadship, first time as a deck hand and second time as a first mate (My father was the Captain). First time was the "southern route", Holland to Miami. The Second time the "northern route", Washinton D.C. to the Mediterranean Sea. Captain, no comment on the weather, the Atlantic looks like a lake, oh my!
