[@kekzoet7487]

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

[@knutarneaakra6013]

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 !

[@loukkraaij682]

The tugs that define Oceantug

[@Bluntry1]

The music soundtrack is fabulous!

[@MrMslagter]

Bloody shame that they are gone now!!! These where the tugs that the Dutch where famous for all over the world and we could not preserve at least one?? I'm feeling very sad right now. Thanks voor de nice pic's though

[@patrick35400]

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

[@atuane7003]

I was a sailor on it back in the eighties

[@wrightflyer7855]

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).

[@leewithey2014]

Incredible!!! 🐕

[@RobinsonDaLobeira]

What a pity...! my friend... thanks for your up date info, about this glories...Maybe in the future, comes to NL. Also "SALVAGEMAN", "HISPANIA", now HERAKLES, must be a BRITISH museum salvage tug... SALVAGEMAN, and SMIT ROTTERDAM..really legend tugs...

[@janjaapklomp1364]

[@zumfliegendenhollander1162]

De mooiste sleper ooit gebouwd was de ZWARTE ZEE 4 !!!!!

[@poly_hexamethyl]

5:28 Huh? Surely those coffee urns would go flying in a storm? I'm surprised there isn't some sort of railing around it?

[@lee2217]

nice video any idea whats being towed at 2.25? im assuming the whole fleet ,was it ten tugs named after places are now scrapped? my father made the model kit 1:33 smit netherland

[@RolandvanWanrooy]

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

[@lee2217]

sorry i ment to ask any idea what platform it was? thats sad they've been scrapped

[@RolandvanWanrooy]

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...

[@lee2217]

thanks anyway :) yeh the smit fleet are legendary tugs known the world over

[@robertschippers9334]

I think its the Stafjord A or B in Norway i myself have been sailing on the this boat.

[@hkn10x]

SUSCRITO VECIÑO

[@ruscador1]

very old tugs now i wonder if salvageman would have out towed these dutch tugs ?

[@tomwolf2603]

all three are gone and were dismantled in Alang India a couple years ago.. only things surviving were their engines that were sold Real shame they couldnt at least keep Rotterdam as a museum ship.. they were kind of legendary in their time 70ies - 90ies

[@ruscador1]

it would have been nice to save atleast one of them @@tomwolf2603

[@jonikiba1]
