Starting up the triple expansion engine on PS Waverley

Starting the engine on the PS Waverley leaving clacton on sea pier, #waverley #train #travel #boat #clacton #paddlesteamer this is the process when the captain has asked for the engines to come online and begin to power the steamer.
PS Waverley is owned by the paddle steamer preservation society

I’ve been on the Waverley several times and always find her engines mesmerising to watch.

[@chillingwolf]

I completely agree with you, an absolute marvel of engineering, built to last, glad you enjoyed the video

[@trainsimulatordriver]

Very cool engine.

[@chillingwolf]

Ow yes a marvel of engineering

[@dontavious3772]

I would love to work on a steam ship of any kind when I'm old enough, they are some of the most lovely ships out there!

[@chillingwolf]

They sure are, never stop dreaming, when your able go volunteer for one of the preservation society's and you will learn so much well worth doing, I wish u all the best of luck with your studys etc

[@chillingwolf]

Tha k you for watching subscribe for more videos of amazing steam engines

[@Dunbardoddy]

[@chillingwolf]

That's one way to do it while in the comfort of your own home!!@@ thank you for commenting

[@ianfiddes9871]

Engineering at its finest

[@jimmcintosh9045]

As the cranks go a stern you can faintly hear three blasts on the ships whistle as a warning to other craft.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

😢😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@jimmcintosh9045]

I've been on the ship often enough to know the procedure!

[@rogerwilliams2902]

My dad was on the original one when it got bombed and sunk and remember him telling us that because he could read morse code , a sailor had signalled "I am sinking ". . He survived luckily , many poor souls didnt.

[@chillingwolf]

Blimey that's a story tour dad was able to tell, but that's history and we wount know today if it wasn't for these, thank you for sharing

[@cedarcam]

Waverley was found by divers years ago. Her engine still standing There was a photo of her in Paddle Wheels the PSPS quarterly news letter

[@chillingwolf]

@@cedarcam thank you for the comment I look into that I didn't know but very interesting

[@cedarcam]

@@chillingwolf I think she was broken in half or the middle upper structure destroyed. The water is not that deep but the divers took some time to find her exact location. Hope you can find out the details for sure Try emailing the PSPS.

[@bobcornford3637]

Good old knock from what sounds like 2 units.

[@deanwebb4809]

I was on this boat on the 3rd of october went from graves end to whitstable and back great day

[@chillingwolf]

Yep we've donated to the waverley over the years and was nice to see our names on the wall in the engine room, seeing her while we pass nesr her in Scotland in. Weeks time, thank you for your kind comment and glad you e joyed your trip

[@lorrainehamilton5051]

Was the whole trip going Astern ;)

[@chillingwolf]

Hi no this was when we were leaving the Pier but it was quite a way we went estern before it made the turn for full speed ahead

[@chillingwolf]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6KZq4dsm8h7gKMsi=mAP91c_HhSo5Z0a6 Full trip video for you hoping to go again this year as now got new cameras etc

[@YARROWS9]

We invented the steam Engine. Thats why this is a bute.

[@chillingwolf]

I completely agree with you and thank you for your comment

[@johndemeen5575]

People who stand around drinking, drink what’s in the mug, and put it down. Get to work.

[@chillingwolf]

Took me a second to work out what you meant but yes lol 😆

[@user-oz2wn3lj5s]

কী চাই বাড়া

[@cooply8933]

Looks complicated and dangerous

[@pedantik]

Does the shaft directly drive both paddles at the same time ?

[@chillingwolf]

I belive not as its all connected via the crankshaft, so the engine will only turn in the direction its going, Hope this helps and hope you liked the video got more coming so if ya like please subscribe to the channel and thank you for your comment

[@jackychan6190]

The left and right paddles wheel I believed is directly connected to crankshaft, on the crankshaft there is double eccentric and eccentric rod connected to valve gear via a sector shape quadrant, and the operation engineer shall move the sector shape quadrant according to command on the telegraph (in the front of control desk clock liked instrument), the command on the telegraph is sent from bridge (wheel hosue) whose steer the vessel, I.e. Captian😅

[@chillingwolf]

​@@jackychan6190excellent description and thank you for your wonderfull comment

[@simonfoster7288]

Yes. So she has very little ability to manoeuvre at low speed. To leave a jetty, the ship often leaves one rope attached to the bow and then runs the engine slow ahead to pull the bow in and point the stern out, then backs diagonally away from the jetty for a long way, to get enough space to make a turn with the rudder once the ship is under way. I gather paddle steamers were used by LNER because they needed a shallow draught to get in to their base at Craigendoran at low tide. Waverley only draws just over 6 ft. A twin propeller ship could turn on the spot by running one ahead and the other astern, but a propeller would have to be deeper in the water.

[@chillingwolf]

​@@simonfoster7288I completely agree u see it in the main video as they use the rope and windless to pull us back into the Pier and we went back words when we left then went forward once we cleared the Pier area enougth, great trip mind you
