Back when I was a kid, my parents treated me and my sisters to a trip across the River Humber on the PS Tattershall Castle (almost identical to the PS Waverley). It must have been back in the early 1970's. That ship still exists today as a floating bar on the River Thames close to Westminster. I remember the smell of steam and hot oil, and seeing the steam engine down in the engine room. A wonderful experience for a small boy.
It is so wonderful that these ships from the past are kept in service. I am from New Zealand and have traveled on the TSS Earnslaw many times when I have visited Queenstown in New Zealands South Island
Ahoy There!!!I was aboard The Waverley yesterday....Clevedon o Ilfracombe ....Wonderful.....Mindblowing...Unforgettable..Next trip for me On The Thames....Superb experience.!!!!!!
Wonderfull. I don't know whether it's because I live on Lake Leman (not Lake Geneva), but I feel the Clipper Bow of CGN steamers very elegant. A small remark : It would have been great to have indication of the nationality of the ships, since all of them do not wear their flags/ Nonetheless Bravo
Number 15 is the Eisbrecher "Stettin". Eisbrecher is not a name, only a type of ship. Its used to plug the line, when it is frozen by ice...the german word for ice is: Eis; and Brecher is a breaker...And by the way: in the machinroom of ths ship were made the sets of the movie "Titanic", in which are shown the running steam engines.
The Waverley paddle steamer is the last sea going paddle steamer in the world. It sails around the stunning islands and harbour towns of the west coast of Scotland, and visits Ireland, Wales and England.
Allow me to suggest you also look at "Gonca", 106 ft steel ship circa 1910 fired by a triple expansion steam engine. She is located in Istanbul and is in perfect seaworthy condition.
Once finished a yacht race on the River Medway sailing upriver to the 31 buoy under spinnaker with the Waverley to starboard and the Medway Queen to port. Wow.
In this list De Majesteit (11:57) has to be my favourite. And the George Stephenson reminds me of a loon, but even eerier. Drop-dead eerie. Beautiful. I'm just saying, if i ever found myself obscenely rich and had the option between a yaught and a steam riverboat..
There was a brief video of the Alpena, an old school laker built in 1942 who is still working hauling cargo in the Great Lakes. She's the last working steam powered cargo carrier on the Lakes. I didn't see her name on the list though. Maybe because she's not glamorous?
The Name of the Nr. 15 is not "Eisbrecher" - Eisbrecher ist the Function (icebreaker), the Name of the ship is "Stettin". Nr. 57 "SSLokki" looks like the Ship of the movie "Fitzcaraldo"
this is a good video but im sure the tile will hurt the reach of the video, if you better refer to how good this compilation is you might get more views. short form titles dont work on long form video
0:42 What whistle does this ship have? Also thank you for including the ss Alpena she is one of a kind and is one of the last steamers on the Great Lakes
It sounds sacrilegious, but it is a shame that almost all of these lovely steamers are not producing any coal smoke. Are we to assume most are converted to run on gas or oil?
All that I know as an American, I would say that the original RMS Queen Mary (located at along Beach, California) the SS Alpena (one of the many Great Lakes class ore carriers and the oldest one still running) and two big steamboats the American Queen, and the Natchez are all located in the USA. For the other ships, I don’t know. Sorry.

Out of all of the steamships I see in this video, the SS Alpena will always be one of my Great Lakes freighters. Been in service since 1942.

the waimarie was in this as well....NZ"s only steam paddleboat......
My father and I are honoured that 'Persistance' made the list. Thank you!
I’m just loving seeing these beautiful ships that are steam powered. Thank you so much for sharing your video. Very much appreciated !😊
Absolutely magnificent. Many thanks for posting.
I’ll take this over a super yacht all day long💯
I sailed from my home town, Dundalk to Dublin both in Ireland on the Waverly.
Bonjour Bastien,
Great video indeed, I think however that one famous steam is missing, the Liberty ship "Jeremiah O'Brien".
Amicalement, Raphaël
Ahoy There!!!I was aboard The Waverley yesterday....Clevedon o Ilfracombe ....Wonderful.....Mindblowing...Unforgettable..Next trip for me On The Thames....Superb experience.!!!!!!
Magnificent collection to view, well done😊
Cool Bastien thank for the video.
I love steamships and I live near Lausanne. Lor of possibilites for me 😁 + Blonay-Chamby & Conifère steam trains 😁.
Excellent thank you so much for sharing. Cheers.
Thank you for presenting this video
I can't think of what to say? Simply AMAZING!
Wonderful - Lake Geneva has some old steam and paddle steamers
Wow - Magnificent.....
Perfection - Many thanks.
These ships that sail on these wonderful waters are so beautiful!
Trop beaux. Merci
Eine geile Show!
I had no idea side wheelers could move that fast!
very very beautiful very good machines
Thank you steamship have their own majestic sound and appearance of old
what makes watching this funny i was on the waverly watching this lol
Excellent
always have a soft spot for the sidewheelers. A bit amazed at how many are still operating. great video.

Best horns and whistles ever
Floating history. May they steam on for generations to come.
just the sound of steam makes steam ships beautiful
I have to love Vulcania. How often do you see a steamship playing music???

Concerning Vulcania: that must be the Ship that NCIS Gibbs built in his Cellar ... prooft by the US Marine Song!😅😅😅 hurraaa
Ship # 15 is an icebreaker, in German Eisbrecher, it's real name in Stettin (visible on the stern).
But: wonderful collection! Thanks!
vraiment des beaux bateaux à vapeur génial à ce qui les restaure et les conserves 😅😮😢❤❤❤❤❤
The Lake Geneva whistles most likely would annoy the neighbors in those hillside homes.
I LOVE THESE ❤❤❤
PS Waverley #18 is the only ocean going paddle steamer still cruising the open sea!
For me it's:
1. RMS Queen Mary
2. PS Waverley
3. SS Shieldhall
(Yes, all of them are Clydebuilt)
I could listen to this all day
The Waverley paddle steamer is the last sea going paddle steamer in the world. It sails around the stunning islands and harbour towns of the west coast of Scotland, and visits Ireland, Wales and England.
Re-title "23 minutes of steamships" great compilation.
Merci
SS Delphine sounds like the R.M.S. Segwun. Beautiful whistle.
Probably the same type of whistle. Sounds so majestic.
these as history in its finest you will ever get.
A few of these vessels were very,very overloaded with passengers.⚓⚓⚓
The ship at 6:01 isnt named Eisbrecher, its name is Stettin and it is an Eisbrecher (german for Ice Breaker)
Oldest one is not even included. And thats the Hjejlen from Denmark that is from 1861 - and still is still sailing...
👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤
Vermisst hier noch jemand die "Alexandra" aus Flensburg?😊
Why do they look so kawaii to me?😊
You forgot SS Nomadic
Soul alive on boat😢
Dolly, Espeance

The Milano is a reproduction with a MTU V12 engine. The original ship was sunk in Lago Maggiore during WWII
The modern Milano is now in Lago di Como, the same lake have two legit steamship, the Concordia and the Patria
The "Italia", in Lago di Garda, have a diesel engine too

Beautiful steamers, but I couldn’t find DS SKIBLADNER in there, the oldest original still running, and for sure the most beautiful!!
I stand corrected - it was in there! ❤
As a baby I traveled regualy on the earnstlaw
Wooooooooooooooo!!!!

Eisbrecher is actually Stettin, in active service 1933-81, still coal fired. And takes 200t a day when working hard.
if u do a part 2 the 1894 SS bore should be in it
Idk there is so mitch steam ship around the world
and the 1861 hjejlen
@@zxsp3ctrom yes but the Icebreaker bore is the worlds oldest operational steam icebreaker and beautiful
You include Natchez and American Queen but not Belle of Louisville, this video is missing a very key element to it😢
oups
3:57, That type of boat is fun for an hour but stewing in the through-hull sound all day earns them the title of D head boats. ha
The Name of the Nr. 15 is not "Eisbrecher" - Eisbrecher ist the Function (icebreaker), the Name of the ship is "Stettin". Nr. 57 "SSLokki" looks like the Ship of the movie "Fitzcaraldo"
So i dont see any steam coming out of some of the funnels. Is there a reason for that?
Steam ships use condensers to turn the steam back into water, so very little steam is actually given out. The funnels are exhausts for the furnaces.
@@ChrisCooper312 ah ok
this is a good video but im sure the tile will hurt the reach of the video, if you better refer to how good this compilation is you might get more views.

One more of the stunning Hansteen, which I was the Captain of for three sunmer seasons: ruclips.net/video/9WClKVUeSCA/видео.html
dampfschiffe haben eine besondere seele...in der schweiz wurde schon in den 70ern auf ölfeueung umgestellt...auch n vorteil...
I don't know but some of the horns sound like they might have a birds nest in them ? Great video though !
they sound like locomotives
It sounds sacrilegious, but it is a shame that almost all of these lovely steamers are not producing any coal smoke. Are we to assume most are converted to run on gas or oil?
You don't have the Medway Queen which saw service during WWII
Its like a movie.
Where are some of these gems?!
Waverley UK, cruises all over Britain and Ireland. It is based in Glasgow Scotland.
Where are they
Where are these?
All that I know as an American, I would say that the original RMS Queen Mary (located at along Beach, California) the SS Alpena (one of the many Great Lakes class ore carriers and the oldest one still running) and two big steamboats the American Queen, and the Natchez are all located in the USA.

There are German and Swiss steamers and the Waverley is the last sea going paddle steamer in the world. It is UK. Built on the Legendary Clyde.
Scharnhorn
I know the 'Persistance' well
African Queen!
No, it’s American 🇺🇸 Queen, to you. Buddy.
✳️ is English your second language? #numpty
You forgot a Norwegian steamship: the SSD Hansteen. ( ruclips.net/video/xxUb4sDbHHY/видео.html )
"Steam ships of the world" ! Isn't Australia part or the world?
See Murray River Paddle-Steamers
I prefer diezel sound. Sorry.
too much horn.
I sailed on the earnslaw and it was amazing 🚢🚢🛶🛶⛵😀😀
