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.

[@michaelpietrangelo664]

Clearly....Maps make Yuri very excited!!!!

[@bahoonies]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thestorminmymind]

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

[@johnhunter273]

I second this!

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

👍🏻

[@jonhill373]

Yes indeed

[@josephstevens3357]

[@ralphvanthoff]

I believe it's a popcorn maker.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

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

[@palm7z]

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

[@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🤔

[@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.

[@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!

[@philipmason3218]

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

[@hinesal]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dospalmascb]

He’s a happy chap, maybe even prefers commando lol excited to have Tristan on his Bridge.

[@jazzman782000]

Yes, quite passionate…

[@SeniorSimRacer63]

@@dospalmascb was feeling bad. I thought I was the only one that noticed that.

[@se7515]

I bet he can use that thing as a backup compass if all else fails.

[@rbnhood39]

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

[@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.

[@v12kid]

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

[@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. 👍

[@andrewwoodall2214]

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

[@j.p.5954]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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)

[@memjay9932]

Yuri is the man!!! Thanks

[@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

[@flowrob6861]

Having served on WW2 seaplane tender in N.Atlantic 2 winters as Lorran station in 70s that bridge was bigger than our engine room .

[@elmerfud44]

Me thinks Yuri had the hots for you Tristan, Or he stuffed a pair of socks in his shorts b4 you started filming... The glass case had a gage to paper record barometric pressure.... Keep up the videos maybe engine room and below deck living and eating quarters.

[@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.😢😢

[@TheOUboy]

Nice big Bridge. Thanks Yuri

[@frankbrindle8598]

Thanks to Yuri and to you Captain

[@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. 👍🏼

[@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!

[@allandodds5320]

The instrument is a barograph recording atmospheric pressure Thanks for the video!

and the Vodka?

[@peterhennig4678]

@@jpkatz1435 lol, true

[@RichardAmmo1]

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!

[@TEKASHll_]

Great video! But we all just gonna ignore that Yuri is packing some serious heat 👀

I was searching for this comment

[@Xusia01]

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

[@RichardBaran]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@yorkshireman9250]

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

[@2fast2nick]

I love how many plants they have around the bridge

[@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.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

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

[@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 😎

[@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!

[@brianhearden459]

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.

[@bobw222]

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

[@carlylekhan7007]

Hi Tristan. Kindly Pass on Our thanks to Yuri for Allowing us Access to the Bridge and Explaining It All to us. Wishing Both You And All On Board. Fair Winds And Following Sea.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Thanks to Yuri and thank you Captain Tristan for the tour of the bridge. Another great video.

[@murda2999]

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

[@fotchyfotchy8431]

Thank you Yuri 😎

[@NutsNBolts24]

Yuri was pretty cool, seems like the kinda person that would make a work day a bit funner.

[@patricialugo9679]

Of the two paper charts, the second was the eastern part of Puerto Rico with outlying islands of Vieques and Culebra, also seen St Thomas to the NE. Tks for the tours and your vlog.

[@BChandl13]

You can just tell that Yuri is quite the character after a drink or ten

[@SuperAndybk]

That box on bridge has 2 separate uses. , Mainly it’s use is only to be used by Captains son for guppies when fishing for goldfish. 2nd use is a Marine bubblegum machine. Peace

[@calumhunter815]

Thank you Uri!

[@sdsorrentino]

It's a charting barometer. It gives the current and historical air pressure. Dropping pressure indicates the approach of a storm system. The faster and deeper the drop the worse the weather.

[@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.

[@lordrossmacca]

Looks like a seismograph Tristan. Great bridge tour thanks.

[@duncanjames914]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@bobkrause2521]

Thank you to you, Yuri and the crew.

I think the simplest demonstration of "great circle" is to stretch a bit of string around a football!

[@doubleT84]

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

[@ericcsuf]

Barograph or recording barometer. We used to have one on board our gas balloon for balloon races.

[@classicraceruk1337]

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

[@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

[@TheoSmith249]

Like to see the weight room that Yuri works out in.

[@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.

[@ThumperKJFK]

barometer chart recorder. :)👍 thank you Captain.

[@stevenzobel4517]

I would have to say that is for barometric pressure measuring barometric pressure

[@martinosborne2842]

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!!!🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍

[@jantonkens9820]

On your question: changed the barograph paper every week. Come from a nautical family so had one at home to follow air pressure over time. Then often better weather prediction then the official forecast 😁😁

[@ukpm]

Seawater specific gravity at 4ºC (10kPa) is 1.025 kg/l vs fresh water which is 1.000 kg/l. This gives 25,000m³ of seawater at 4ºC and at surface pressure an additional 625 tons weight compared to fresh water.

[@jmchez]

I would think that the water at Genoa was at 20ºC to 27ºC.

[@Stumpy60]

I used to print the admiralty Charts 😀

[@EJung65]

Can we talk about how Yuri was pointing at the maps? He REALLY likes cartography!

[@philipmason3218]

I've also just noticed when Tristran walks away to the computer display he gets a bit giggly, he's struggling not to burst out laughing.

[@paulkersey2179]

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

[@catlynnwittie]

That bridge is cavernous! Love it!

[@borysnijinski331]

Azipods are pods containing electric motor driving a propeller. Power to drive the propeller comes from electric power generated onboard from big diesel-electric generator. Bit surprised you did not know this, Tristan.

[@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.

[@380Scania]

Thank you Yuri 😉🇬🇧

[@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

[@timsmothers8740]

Well now I, can say that I've learned something new today, I,had no idea that Ship's like existed and that this was a business. Imagine that I,shall pay for an extremely large Ship, to haul my Very Large Yacht, across The Atlantic Ocean Also very Large, to my next desired Place to go and Play around. Meanwhile I ,shall Fly in my not so large Jet and go and meet my Yacht, In Florida and start all over again. I, can't imagine what the cost was to have this done,most likely pocket change in that World. Thanks for another great video and the learning experience!

[@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.

[@michaelfk2548]

[@Dames55803]

Needle Barometer 🔥 old school but very accurate 🤘🏼

[@colin.chaffers]

Its a barograph giving air pressure, the graph tracks fronts and troughs, its helpful for predicting weather systems.

[@michaelsommers2356]

Those plants made me think of Capt. Morton of _USS Reluctant._ I half expected Ensign Pulver to rush onto the bridge and throw them overboard.
