Used to be anyway, thanks to the new cut and the clever lock system it's now a Floating Harbour. Some ingenious early 19th century engineering!

Of all the silly Steamboat willie content coming out right now, I found this to be the most interesting.

[@stephenolan5539]

And I think it would have passed fair use last year.

[@doltsbane]

It's a cartoon parody of the Stonewall Jackson, the boat in the Buster Keaton film Steamboat Bill Jr., which came out the same year. Apparently Walt himself was a good deal less stringent about IP rights than the corporation that bears his name today.

[@hallamhal]

That film's also famous for the scene where a house falls on him and juuuuuust misses him

Racing is one reason there isn't many riverboats left. Part of the Ky Derby is a steamboat race, if you want to see new footage of steamboat racing. Our Belle used to race the Mississippi and Delta Queens. Not sure who she races now, since one was scrapped and the other reduced to a floating hotel/casino. As much as I love the Belle, those two girls were impressive in size and I kinda miss them, even when they did win the golden antlers.

[@RayPerkins01]

My grandfather was mate on a two funneled tugboat, the Lady Brassey, working for the Dover Harbour Board, in the mid 1900s. The two funnels were a consequence of having two engines, one for propulsion and one for salvage purposes. The salvage engine drove a large pump that could be used either to remove water from a vessel that was floundering, or to serve fire hoses.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Two funnels usually means two boilers, but there might be a number of boilers that go into the same funnel too. The tug can have several auxiliary engines for winches and windlasses and other functions. Once there in a source of power -steam pressure, that power can be redistributed around the ship in pipes. The museum ship, icebreaker "st. Erik" in Stockholm, has fourteen different Steam engines including powered steering, windlasses, mooring winches, electric generators and of course the main propulsion engine, wich is the world's largest running marine steam engine. Only one funnel though...

[@ItsDaJax]

So cool seeing our steamer the Belle Of Louisville in the video! That was an old pic of her racing either the Delta or Mississipi Queen. She continues to out live them both, still going on tours. She has about 15,000 horsepower and if you push her, she can do about 15mph. In her early life, before she was ran as Idlewilde, I believe, Belle was a tug. She moved barges on the Missisipi River. One of the oldest steam paddles still working, she was built in the 1800s, or mid/late 1700s as a barge herself.

[@Slakrrrrrr]

"Steamboat Cone Fumo" would be the public domain collab of the century.

[@mbryson2899]

Thank you for the vid, I agree that Willy's paddler was based on a tug. I have gazed upon the _Eppleton Hall_ many times at her moorings. Her story is amazing, I believe there are YT vids detailing it. The black-and-white ship behind her in the picture is the _Balclutha,_ a steel hulled three master; I've trod her decks on tour three times.

[@railfandepotproductions]

I first heard of eppleton hall thru TUGS

[@Arbeez111]

​​@@railfandepotproductions that show used to be my childhood since 2018. O.J. was one of the paddle tugboats that is similar to the eppleton hall.

[@dr.depressed._6547]

As someone who works on a paddle steamer this was heaps interesting. I only really know the Aussie ones so seeing how American ones differ in their design while doing the same sort of thing is cool

[@hondaxl250k0]

I steered a paddle steamer once when I was like 12. I kept getting yelled at to keep my hands off the brass or I’d be polishing it.. lol. Good times long ago.

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

WOWS should add the ship in as a Tier 1 event novelty.

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

your joking right? it doesn't have guns on it

[@NovaKrysalis]

During the American Civil War, tugboats and other civilian craft were requisitioned by both the Union and Confederate Navies and armed with spare cannon. So it would work.@@Hailiqou

[@datprawn4850]

So you could say that Mickey's steam boat is related to OJ from TUGS, since both were inspired from Eppleton Hall.

[@railfandepotproductions]

*eppleton hall

[@railfandepotproductions]

Hi TUGS FAN!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

This little steam paddleboat is a very well known model in Australia. They're still used extensively on the Murray - Darling river at Echuca for tourism.

[@OlegMilitaryHistory]

You should also look at the Alligator Boats / Alligator Tugs used for forestry work in Canada - some of them were also paddlewheel-powered, they are closer in size to Mickey's steamboat, and their extremely rudimentary, boxy superstructure is somewhat more cartoonish than the larger paddlewheel tugs typically carry

[@SCRB1GR3D98]

Looks almost spot on.

[@SteamboatWilley]

PS Kingswear Castle is another side-wheel steamer that you should check out. She is a passenger steamer rather than a tug, but shares many features in common with the paddle tugs like John H Amos and Eppleton Hall.

[@CocoHutzpah]

Steamboats have some good stories. One of my favorite books as a kid is named Steamboat in a Cornfield and is the story of the steamboat Virginia getting stuck in a cornfield along the Ohio river.

[@horusfalcon]

As always, an interesting presentation with just a touch of dry humor. I hope the new year finds you and yours well.

[@timothyboles6457]

There actually were several side wheel boats on the Mississippi River and connecting rivers. There were also side wheel boats out west on rivers

[@svon1]

a MS teams meeting with my roman reenactor friends? the 2nd Season Finale of Molly McGee? and among the first to comment on a ConeofArc video ? all today? i gotta play the lottery later in the day

[@classicforreal]

Molly McGee is Disney, and now so is a Cone of Arc episode. Cool!

[@c.w.winger221]

Mississippi River was full of sidewheelers!Why would you say otherwise?! Robert E Lee being one of the most famous steamers built for the Mississippi, is just one of many.

[@JoesWebPresence]

I feel that the Waverly, the last ocean going paddle steamer in the world, deserved a mention here. OK it's a little bigger, and clearly not what was being drawn, but that's what it reminds me of, and if you search for pictures of the Waverly paddle steamer, I'm sure you'll agree that it has a very similar feel.

[@Hammerandhearth]

The Cornell Steamboat company had a number of double funneled steam tugs, though to my knowledge none were ever sidewheelers.

[@richiewong1]

The Tyne, the Tyne, the coaly Tyne. Queen of all the rivers.

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

Enjoyed this, with the old time pictures - I like paddlesteamers, and have visited the Eppleton Hall. John Amos I'd not heard of, yet I live in England! Sadly, ships are not the easiest of things to preserve - usually they're rather large and awkward! I've only ever seen bits of Steamboat Willie, so nice to see more of it.

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

PS. Back in the 1880s there was a famous Thames paddle tug known as 'Three Fingered Jack,' because she had three funnels. At around the same time there was a Liverpool paddle tug named 'Uncle Sam', which had two funnels - so there were a couple of prototypes for Walt's imagination.

I should point out that there is a strong difference between harbour tugs and tugs used to move barges along the coast.

[@stijnVDA1994]

Could there be more info to be taken from the short film, like could the short pants no shirt combo tell something about the possible location of where the short is set, and so could that mean the ship might not be american. Rather perhaps mexican or other central or southern american style ships, heck could it be a canadian style if it's set in the north of america in the summer.. knowing in the border regions it is likely that ships are from different countries and so could show different design que's that make then look even closer

[@DSlyde]

This is a top tier sh*tpost. Informative and interesting, but still absolutely a sh*tpost.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

I was always thinking the boat was a tug, due to the wheelhouse and shape of the hull. The dual stacks and other oddities I put down to the artist not knowing alot about the old tugs.

😂. Steamboat Willy no longer copyrighted. You couldn’t wait to jump on that. “Release the hounds”.

[@EdKolis]

Wait, so Willie is the name of the BOAT? I thought Willie was one of the people on the boat - maybe a character being played by Mickey, or the big guy who comes up to him!

[@ConeOfArc]

Seems like it depends on who you ask. Sometimes it's used to reference that version of mickey but people also use it to refer to the boat

[@robertskitch]

Huh, I'd assumed it was the name of the boat as that's the story I've heard the most often, though that could just be a case of something becoming true because it's been repeated so much. I guess, it would make sense as a character name given that in lyrics of the original 'Steamboat Bill' song the name referred to the boat's captain. Of course, for all I know, it could be that Iwerks and Disney just decided to name the film 'Steamboat Willie' because of the use of the song and didn't think any further about it than that...

[@millythecat7211]

isnt the Eppleton Hall technically the only, wasnt the other mostly scrapped?
