Hey Tim thanks for the tour and explaining buildings etc. on the way. The strange thing I was the company I worked 15 years for sent me a retirees newsletter. They were talking about a new project they have to connect power lines from Upstate NY down to NYC where they rely on fossil fuel power stations. Then you take us past one. Lime House marina on the Thames in London is a difficult one to get into if coming up river with the tide. There's a road bridge to open and then a lock, so I would go passed do a 180 and stem the tide to slide in. Similar to one on the Humber getting into Hull with a force 8 blowing. Stay safe and thanks again for jogging my brain box.

Thanks Tim! I saw one you did that was similar a few years ago, and now take my Edgewater from CT to Manhattan ~ once a week for work, and it has become my new form of catching up with friends (fellow commuters) on the way home, entertaining clients, etc. and I've [almost] got the tour down now thanks to you. Hell Gate is always a favorite, and I share the 'Operation Pastorious' backstory there as well. Another favorite is hanging by the end of the LGA pier and being under the planes when they're landing on 22 (North-> South). Hart Island also spooky but fascinating and beautiful, I think. Thanks again for these - always love them!

Been watching your channel for a few years now, always great to see you at work and the operations you do. This video takes me back 41 years when I came in by containership to Port Elizabeth on the ACT2 from Australia. We unloaded two 12 metre class yachts and towed them up this same river into Long Island Sound and onto Newport R.I. Did the Americas Cup and then towed the two yachts back together behind Black Swan. What a tow, and what an experience it was going through Hells Gate with some tide behind us. A radio station traffic helicopter spotted on the way back to Port Elizabeth and we got buzzed by it. Soon there were countless car horns blasting away saying hello beside the FDR Drive. Thanks for posting this trip for us.

To me, this is one of the best channels on KZbin. It is coincidental that I made friends with a guy who was a chief engineer on a tug. Now, I know I missed my calling. I found out what a great career I missed in the Merchant Marines after I had retired! Don't get me wrong, I had a good career doing what I wanted on the railroad for decades. It makes sense to me that I missed it, because I was always in the middle of the country. I was land locked and never really saw merchant marines most of my life. There was one guy in our home town who went into the merchant marines after he got out of the Navy. He was killed at sea by accident. He supposedly slipped and fell, hit his head real hard. I knew his Dad. His Dad was heartbroken over it terrible. Other than that, I heard of no one or saw no merchant marines until later in life. I was working up around Bellingham, WA. There I saw the big container ships. We stayed at the same motel where the mariners stayed waiting to get on their ships. I think they waited for orders. Once their orders came, off they would go to get on ship and prepare for a long journey across the Pacific.

Been a rag bagger on LIS for some 30 years and live on the Hudson River- have a question. Mostly I have seen you guys in a pushing situation and I get that - tide. Occasionally is see tugs switching to pulling situations - ran out of tide. Today I watched a Tug with a tandem barge - north bound on the Hudson - that must be stressful. I don't recall ever watching a tug on a side tow? How come? This would seem to be the most controlled point.. Thanks for your vids! and yes I've been thru the East River many times. In a sailboat the main concern is to time it correctly - otherwise it's a piece of cake.
@TimBatSea
@TimBatSea 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. There are usually good reasons to push, tow or have a barge on the hip. The tide is rarely one of the reasons. But there are some that will hip a barge all the way to Albany. It's less than ideal because of the distance involved and you make slower speeds pushing two vessels through the water instead of only one. CUOTO

Howdy Tim! I have a couple of questions for ya. You mentioned that you needed thrust or water from the props in order to steer most effectively. Would having Azipods, a name I heard regarding moveable prop turrets... don't know if the name is true, be more beneficial for directive steering with your tug? Would 2 Azipod's be enough or would you need one at each corner of the tug? Regarding the horsepower of your tug is there an amount that would be too much for what you do or is the more the merrier? About how much thrust do you get from one of the props on your boat? Regarding cavitation... does that hurt or damage the prop or drive train? Thanks for taking the time to shoot these videos and explaining. Fascinating!
@TimBatSea
@TimBatSea 2 ай бұрын
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Robert. Tractor tugs have two azipods in place where we have our conventional propellers. They provide much more control but come at a much higher price. Our propellers are built to take the abuse we give them and rarely show much damage done to them because of cavitation. CUOTO

I started watching you on that trip up Newton creek. Time flies when you're having fun. Thanks for the trip through memory lane. Going up and down the east river never gets old for me. I never got the chance to do it . I've gone up and down on the Hudson up to Bear Park on river cruises. When I hit the lottery, I'll pay your co. to let me do it with you.😂

How were you supposed to know there was fire training? Their bad, not yours. Thanks Tim. I liked this video very much. I know a guy who retired two years ago off a tug that worked in New York Harbor. He was the Chief Engineer. I never see him anymore because of COVID and the gym we went to is closed now about the time that COVID was going. I saw him about a year ago. His goes by JC. We both live in Casa Grande, AZ.

Hey Tim, Love your videos You mentioned the stonework in the Brooklyn Navel Yard. Have you ever been downtown Bayonne NJ? For a small town they have 3 or 4 incredible stone Catheralls. The Stone Mason's Union Headquarters is housed there. Also are you the Elco Boat Co. was located just west of the Bayonne Bridge. the concrete pier foundations are still there.

We dry docked Government ships in those old Navy Yard docks even in 1991 - 1992 for the Ready Reserve Ships (RRF) after the Gulf War 1991 to sand bast and paint their hulls.

Great videos Tim-keep doing what you are doing. Thinking about commercial traffic-seems like there was less activity on Sundays than at other times-is that still the case or is my memory not serving me well? (It's been a minute!)
@TimBatSea
@TimBatSea 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching. I don't believe any day of the week changes much commercial traffic because we run 24/7/365. But it all depends on the tide. You won't see much during the heep of the tide in either direction. CUOTO
