    Amazing video, amazing how despite their modest size they have a real feel of elegance and refinment.

    The best video I’ve watched in a long time. Wow. I stayed till the very last second. Those boats were indescribable. Great job on including info for each vessel.

    I wonder if I imagined that I can drive a steam boat? Just think of it!

    Mostly older farts like me running these. Wish some young farts would drop their cell phones for a minute and get interested in paleotechnology like these gentlemen. Looks pretty complicated running these..all sorts of valves, etc. They're alive! they have a heart beat.

      William Shepard Only those who were lucky enough to be working when final salary pensions and early retirement were still a thing are able to indulge in such hobbies! My generation are only glued to our smartphones because it distracts from the miserable truth that we will be working until we drop!

      There's actually quite a few younger people into steam power and keeping the old engines turning. But most of us also live in a reality where we will never be able to own our own engines, we can barely afford to live let alone get anywhere financially.
      The best our generation can hope for is being able to volunteer with a club-owned engine to keep it going.

    Al, I am glad we met, I would like to personally thank you for coming to my meet and doing the video, next year you can come to the dinner and dinner is on me. and I think a personal Q&A from boaters would be a good idea.

    What I tend to like the most is when you can tell by the whistle who's coming before you see them by there unique signature!

    that side wheeler caught my attention! :)

  • @dockmasterted
    @dockmasterted 7 лет назад +1

    and it is just a shome most people don't know or don't use the singals of thw whistle for getting underway..... and for backing as opposed to procedding forward...... I think the waterways would have a much better atmosphire with them than they have without them. (just my opinion friends)...... and remember LOL = Love of Life!

  • @dockmasterted
    @dockmasterted 7 лет назад +1

    and just another observation..... have you ever notice how a good boat design slips threw the water even at speed without much in the line of a wake?....and you notice it most in steamboats!....LOL = Love Of Life.

    A great video, it's a shame that there isn't more footage on each of the vessels. I love steamboats.

    Al, what was that boat crossing in the background at 3:19? Nice video btw. Oh...I think it's the Rachel Z. Very nice boat. I like tugs for some reason. Practical maybe.

    • @alkonschak
      @alkonschak  7 лет назад +1

  • @geoffreykail9129
    @geoffreykail9129 5 лет назад +1

    Do these steam boats use two bladed props or modern props?

    • @fredrosse
      @fredrosse 4 года назад

      Most use three or four blade conventional propellers, except for the rare paddle boats. Special "Steam props", with thinner blades are also used, but far more expensive than typical available propellers.
