There is something inherently satisfying in refurbishing a ship and extending its lifetime or in building a new one and watching it set sail for the first time. Been a long time since I worked in a shipyard, but it was some of the most satisfying work I've ever done.
Matter of esthetics. A row of rivets, two meter long with a ten centimeter gap in the middle that is stick welded looks horrible. Just like a nuclear reactor in one of those old steam driven Mississippi peddle wheel liners.
I would like to express my thanks to you, ___, My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks.
Wat een geweldige klus en hard werken. Hulde mannen. Gaaf deze film en ook kippenvel momentje als je de Elbe dan aan ziet komen. Weliswaar gesleept maar toch.
Wat heerlijk om te zien dat deze zeesleper weer vaart. Jamer dat André Slingerland het niet meer mee heeft mogen maken. Maar ik kan jullie verzekren dat hij super trots zou zijn om de mannen die dat voor elkaar hebben gekregen.
Elbe is built in 1958 (and came into service feb '59). In those days riveting was combined with welding. Hull most riveted and superstructure most welded.
Einfach schön, das Video zeigt den Fleiß und das Können der Werftschschlosser von Brink Rotterdam. De video toont de schoonheid en kunde van de slotenmakers van de scheepswerf van Brink Rotterdam. ☺☺☺
There is more than just one way of riveting. These rivets are placed countersunk. Not any ship is fitted with bold rivets on the outside of the hull, nor on deck. Two full heads is common in constructing bridges etc. Not for the hull of a ship.
Some of the rivets were cut too short. BOTH ends should have a rounded head on them. It's the head that holds the pieces together not the rivet squeezed in the hole. I'm surprised they didn't cut them longer.
Really nice transformation. It's always good to see old boats fixed up. I found the single propeller and dual rudder setup interesting. Is that a common thing on tugs?
Waarom kunnen jullie het nou nooit laten om van die irritante rot uniek onder zo’n mooi documentaire te zetten. Ik enorm de echte geluiden die er bij horen van het klinken, het snijden, de motoren enz. enz. Zonde.
En nog een vraag: is dit een zusterschip van de Thames? Mijn vriend en studiegenoot is daar destijds op verongelukt, ik kan daar nergens iets over terug vinden.
dave onan because the ship sank in 2004 after collision and the engineroom was still under repair in 2009. They started up in 2011 and went to sea for the first time in march 2013
In dit geval bleven de ankers achter voor reparatie en zijn de kettingen vervangen. Omdat het schip nog niet direct in de vaart kwam kon dat. Later zijn in de thuishaven ankers en kettingen weer aan boord gebracht
@@sleepboothaven ok, normaliter zou je nooit zonder ankers mogen varen. Ik kan me herinneren dat we een keer een onklaar anker hadden en niet weg mochten voordat het geklaard was.
In the 5 years since you posted that illiteratet response, it still is the dumbest pig-dung ignorant response by a video uploader I have yet to see . . .
Wat een enorm werk is dit geweest en die mensen verstaan prima hun vak, De Elbe ziet er weer als nieuw uit !!! Met dank aan alle sponsoren !

Un vidéo exceptionnel montrant le travail minutieux fait pour la restauration d' ELBE. Félicitation aux shipyards à Rotterdam.
Its amazing that with all the modern welding and bonding techniques they still use good old rivets at times.
That’s because they were restoring it to its former build.

Nice to see this tug on wich I sailed as engineer for abt. 9 months, thanks!
What a monumental amount of work performed by an outstanding group of professionals. Very impressive. Great video.

Mooi! Heb ervan genoten!
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to share it. Professional work
Wat een enthousiaste mensen en wat een sterk werk.
Lang leve het Nederlandse vakmanschap.

Prachtige video !!! Zo wil ik er wel meer zien...

Really enjoyed this vid. Thank you for posting.
ALL i can say to all i love tugboats boats and ships from any size love video 100 stars
Interesting to see a boat that still is riveted and having some welding within it.
Vet gaaf!!!Zo worden ze niet meer gemaakt.Alle lof voor iedereen die er bij betrokken is en was.
Nice video, subscribed hope to see more like this
Very very nice! congratulations from Brazil!

Kudo's voor de muziek! :-)
Surprised they didnt send the prop in for tuning.

It would help to say something about the Tug; for us who do not know much about ships!
Flinke klus, ik vind die schepen uit de jaren 50... 60 zoveel mooier dan nu
Que bonito y meticuloso trabajo, recorrida general.
I saw the retrofit of the bow thruster... but what was that downward facing port they added to the bottom?
Beautiful ❤🎉

AWESOME 😎 LOVELY JOB GUYS, LOVELY 😊😎👍💪🇳🇿🌈😎
Oh yeah, ultra sonic speed sensor, you're probably right. I think I saw it and the emergency plug in one of the shots.
Yup, speed and echo sensors were mounted.
Very good job, nice boat.
Thanks
Really nice transformation. It's always good to see old boats fixed up. I found the single propeller and dual rudder setup interesting. Is that a common thing on tugs?
in europe yes on most river craft too

Het was altijd al een magistraal schip.
De Elbe heeft afgelopen jaar een proefvaart gemaakt en gaat vanaf komende zomer met passagiers varen.
Rosie the Riveter can weld, but prefers to FlashDance rather than work for a living.
I cringed watching them power wash the barnacles without safety glasses. yikes.
Video says it is blocked in nz due to copyright issues ? Why?
En nog een vraag: is dit een zusterschip van de Thames? Mijn vriend en studiegenoot is daar destijds op verongelukt, ik kan daar nergens iets over terug vinden.
Nee, de Thames was kleiner. Zij vaart nog als jacht onder de naam Itasca
@@sleepboothaven merci. Maar: als jacht? Ze lag destijds in de Rode zee.
@@sleepboothaven , merci ik heb haar als " jacht" gevonden.
Bow thruster area has been cleaned and painted after welding.
why where the anchors not re fitted
Disabled Global Challenge they where but the chains had to be renewed. All was fitted 6 weeks later.
❤❤❤❤
helemaal te gek die klinknagels
looks great
Great work!
Bij 25:00 zie ik en andere naam onder ELBE, heette ze eerst anders?
Al gevonden, geweldig om dat allemaal te lezen :www.zeesleperelbe.nl/historie
Could this be done in Europe in 20 years time? Just a thought...
+ganlesse It was done in 2009.
ganlesse σεξ
well in my Nanny state most of it would be banned by those useless safety twerps
Why is she being towed to her moorings? That's not very seaman like. Let's see those new bow thrusters and that new prop working!
Christian Petersen the ship sunk 5 years before. She was not in service yet, that costed another 5 years.
anyone know why her own power was not used for the move?
dave onan because the ship sank in 2004 after collision and the engineroom was still under repair in 2009. They started up in 2011 and went to sea for the first time in march 2013
Thanks!
Steel get's a very thin corroded layer.
mooie beelden
Goed voor nog 20 jaar dienst na deze beurt
Geweldig
Wanneer gaat de elbe weer varen?
Metalizar o casco e pintar era com qualidade superior, mas pronto é para dar menos duração e trabalho(:
Looking for a fight?
real men.respect.
So what type or purpose does this tug perform.
Scott Pecora she is a museumship now
FREEDOM AT LAST NOW LETS SAIL😎👍💪🇳🇿🌈😎
I thought hot riveting had gone down with the titanic. i guess not.
Waar zijn haar ankers gebleven na het dokken ??
In dit geval bleven de ankers achter voor reparatie en zijn de kettingen vervangen. Omdat het schip nog niet direct in de vaart kwam kon dat.
Later zijn in de thuishaven ankers en kettingen weer aan boord gebracht
@@sleepboothaven ok, normaliter zou je nooit zonder ankers mogen varen.
Ik kan me herinneren dat we een keer een onklaar anker hadden en niet weg mochten voordat het geklaard was.
Hmm not our plan. Maybe the Vangelis backgroundmusic gives problems?
MUY BUENO .
Why do you hate new Zealand ?
Le seul regret c'est que l'on ne voit pas la partie mécanique moteur !!
Excellent music.

De ergste deuken eruit had ook wel aardig geweest.
Prachtig!
a modern ship will not rust so, see the way they paint Maersk ships, in those days ships were dying even before they hit the water
Not a woman in sight, yet 'women can do anything a man can' they tell us.
where can i download the music of this video
+Dietrich Louw It is Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene (part 7) !
Any elevator I should think?
Scott: LOL
Top !!!!!!!!!!!!!
что за трек,как скачать?????)))))
I was SUPPOSED to be a Dutchy Von Brink Shipfitter but got switched at birth and ended up an American Pipefitter, Goddam the Luck.
chet mcguire what a supergangster are you...
We hebben veel hulp van fondsen (30%) en sponsoren (40%) gehad! En veel zelf gedaan (30%)
22:40 wow!
how can i change descriptions to english
And... the hole in the steel plate is drilled a little too big. It should be a slide fit.
i just use pop rivets...
LOL , , , maybe that is the reason they took our jobs

Dat was nog een echt schip
lo han dejado con mas boĺlos que en una panaderia XD
This is not about New Zealand?

Menneitä aikoja muistellen.
Schitterend hoeveel kracht ze uitstraald,zelfs als ze zelf gesleept word.
