ENGINE ROOM LULLABY (45) - Stork Ricardo BR 213 aboard the Assistent

[@adrianjanssens7116]

I appreciated the honest statement at the end by the boat's owner. Fun while it lasted.

[@briangarrow448]

I grew up in a waterfront town in the Pacific Northwest and lived only steps from the river front where tugs worked towing logs to the local pulp and paper mill. I could hear them going past my parents home and then hear the horn signals to open up the bridges so they could pass underneath. That sound reminds me of misty wet mornings with my window open looking out at the river. Thanks, from Hoquiam. Washington, USA.

Wow, this brings back a few memories. As a teenager in the early fifties (1950-54) I would spend my summer working, helping out in my Grandmother's store "De Firma Monster" in Vreeswijk across the river from Vianen, where the Assistent is based. The business also operated too small tankers, they would sell diesel fuel to some of the boats going by. The smaller one was called "Oliebootje 1" and it operated on the Lekkanaal. The larger one "Oliebootje 2" operated on the Lek river. Those days on the water were a blast. It was also my first Full-Time job. It paid "Een kwartje" (25c)per week. Possibly Mr. Scholten and Mr. Hendriks remember the "Oliebootjes". I absolutely love all these stories, Thank You.

The man and the boat are a living history of much finer days. A time when something meant something. I’m sad to see and feel what has happened to our once beautiful world.

[@andyrbush]

Love how the engine sounds change when it is in different situations. Lovely old boat.

[@lancecluster]

These videos are all so well done. The engines are amazing. The people wonderful.

[@daddybob6096]

Lovely old boat in excellent condition, i love the sound of the engine, its a credit to Koos and Frank for their dedication to this old workhorse from years gone by. Bob. New Zealand.

[@Mercmad]

Great turn of speed there. Stork was one the great engine builders of the 20th Century too.

[@chrisbinckes2732]

the nederlandse regering should finance/compensate the owners so they dont have to sell these fine heritage vessels... after all they and their maritime craft are part of real history the good captain here sure knows his entire boat along with it's engine and his knowledge is extensive much more than most university trained experts these days.... greetings from tasmania thanks for the series

[@zopEnglandzip]

Engine might be sweet but that reverse box sounds like it's about to eat itself. The drag race at the end was the real treat thanks you.

...square teeth gears are loud.

[@zopEnglandzip]

probably straight cut, not square cut

[@Helloverlord]

@@zopEnglandzip same thing. ;)

[@zopEnglandzip]

@@Helloverlord nopes, very different my friend, square cut references the square profile of the tooth while straight cut references the angle of the tooth, ie straight along the axis of rotation.

[@Helloverlord]

@@zopEnglandzip I've got your point. You're right and I learnt something new. Tnx.

Fascinating. She's a fine piece of history. Good on the owners for caring so much.

Nice engine sound ! Hope its new owner takes the same care of it as they did !

Hiervan krijg je een grote glimlach op je gezicht. Dat geluid, geweldig 😊

[@RCPowerbusByProxy]

Bijzonder verhaal. Stukje cultureel erfgoed. Iedere nieuwe eigenaar neemt de zorg van zo een schip over. Het is nooit anders geweest. Het als hobby te kunnen voeren is wel fantastisch. Het protocol rond de motorstart is al bijzonder eigenzinnig. Het bind je aan zo een schip. Genoten van dit filmpje.

[@crocbaitaussie5204]

Thank you for showing such an old but useful Boat that has recorded history and a wonderful soothing running engine. Good luck on your next adventure

A very nice tug, happy sailing!

[@rogeranderson8763]

A beautiful old tug....I could not tell if she is built of iron or not as I could not see any rivets. I worked on the Wedell Foss for a bit in San Francisco Bay, she was built of riveted iron in 1904, and still in very good shape though repowered to diesel from steam after WWII. Nothing like an old slow turning engine. -Veteran '66-68

[@TjeerdMeere]

Prachtige boot en een hele goede motor. Als geboren tukker kan ik dat beamen alhoewel de meeste motoren in Zwolle werden gebouwd van dit type. Ik zag het VNS vignet op de pet. In onze opleiding tot wtk hadden wij ook een Stork Ricardo op de SvS te Enschede. Verder hadden wij een T.E.M en een alva laval turbine en een stoomketel. Deze kleine Storks waren minder bewerkelijk dan de grote H.O.T.L.O. of i.d. aan boord. Ik heb wat kleppen geschuurd als ll wtk op een S-kerk. De machines liepen prachtig. Ook dikwijls in aanbouw zijnde motoren bekeken bij Stork in Hgl. Toch allemaal prachtige herinneringen. Ik kan me voorstellen dat het aan je hart gaat om zoiets te verkopen maar begrijp dat het ook niet eenvoudig is zo'n schip te houden. Even dacht ik aan paard en boot en waar die samen kwamen. Ik hoop dat je een goede koper vindt. Heel veel succes en bedankt voor je leuke video. Ik heb er van genoten.

I grew up on tug boats and know that the heavy duty low RPM engines were actually more powerful than their rated horse power. I worked around several enterprise engines that are quite similar to this storke.

​@@jpsholland Zou Holland/Nederland het enigste land zijn met langzaamlopers die nog zijn over gebleven ? als ik iets tegen kom is het voor 98% uit Holland, soms een tweetakt langzaam loper, of wat Engels spul.. of zou dit komen omdat we veel binnenwater hebben. en daar alles over heen ging vroeger.

[@HWPcville]

I'm intrigued by these type engines and have a few question. Is the initial start of the engine accomplished by compressed air or a starter motor? If compressed air where does it originate?

[@1911olympic]

Most of these ships have air-compressors that feed large air-tanks. With the air in those tanks, the engine is started.

[@berndl.1470]

Schon verkauft? Wenn nein würde mich der Preis interessieren.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

They told me that the stork delivers babies but he really makes marine engines.

[@jpsholland]

Ik wou dat ik zo'n boot kon betalen. Ik ging er 's zomers nog op wonen ook.

[@Draxindustries1]

That stork engine needs removing and refitting with something like a MAN 6cylinder turbo diesel, around 600hp..

[@kobuszijlstra5387]

Nope

[@Draxindustries1]

A new 600-1000hp MAN or B&m would be turn key useable and provide the sort of power a tug needs. That Stork engine, although likely reliable wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding even though driving a 1 metre prop. The Stork was probably OK in its day but now out dated and very low powered. An update like this would provide an income as the boat would then become a useful workhorse
