Just Fabulous. Well done you guys.
Beautiful boat and the power plant is gorgeous!!!
Wow!! I don't think I've ever seen so much mechanical beauty. That old engine is huge, the injector lines are massive. So cool thank you for sharing this 🙂
Music. Really, really loud music standing there. I just love these fabulous machines.
Amazing, I have never seen a cold-start of an ship-engine that dosen't start on the first attempt.. British diesel-engines does really sucks. Only good engine build in Britain was the Napier Deltic.😄😄😄
Congratulations on restoring the tug.She looks awesome . Sailed on a few ships where the BP was used to power the Generator sets.Had a few scavenge fires with them . Also sailed on Stephenson Clarkes Pulborough which had a BP as a main engine.
What happened to Photon? Is he ok?
80 year ago?
Britons and germans always made stuff highly complicated. Old MAN, Doxford....Curse of the seas. No wonder Sulzer and B&W took over. :)
Very nice thank you my Deer ❤️😎
All that shined up copper and brass, that clean white paint and that clean, shiny green paint. You can tell that this is a proud bunch of guys.
5:32 Mug of tea, naturally. :p
Marine engine are on a whole other level to land ones. "Good day, good Sir, would you perchance have designs for a motorised device capable of propelling a building?" <3
Lovely
Darf ich Überhapt bedienen......Was wollen Sie etwas trinken oder drinken......?
That same configuration of engine they use today ! Reliable ?
A wonderful bit of work. I would love to crew on that tug.
A bunch of noise without any explanations. Useless.
The "noise" is the thing.
Nice tug thank you for the video 😎👏
Wonderful!
Those older Diesel engines sounded lik e a real diesel should noise - noise and power to Spain
There is obviously a bit of pride taken in keeping the brass bright on this wee ship, thank you.
It would be really nice to know just what needed doing to that superb engine during it's overhaul. I have a feeling the old lady didn't need a great deal. Rather like a monstrous Lister. I'm sure it will still be around when us mere mortals are dust.
Bravo!
Great film.
If only Diesel fuel were free I would own this and start it every day.
Congratulations for restoring.
This was filmed seven years ago, and I hope that the videographer has learned to slow down the panning. Not only does it cause the viewer some dizziness but it makes it impossible to determine what structure is being seen. As this is an entertaining, educational, and historical video about a clean and well maintained older vessel, and it generally covers its subject well (starting the marine engine) I hope my criticism is taken as intended; that is, to improve similar future videos.
When I was a little kid, that was the job I dreamed about- be the engineer on a ship.
What's wrong with the guy at 2:28 ? does he have lung problems ?
I can't tell what the hell is going on or what is running
Great job.
George Yuill. Served my apprenticeship at British Polar Engines. Many years ago. Keep it running Well done
Beautiful engine and engine room! What is the vintage/age of this engine and tug?
1948 jeff heres a link to website.www.mtkent.org.uk/
True dedication to quality and pride in workmanship! Tally Ho!
What starts the generators? What do the generators do?
too bad when they restored it they didn't make it start easier. maybe that's just how it starts. Either way I bet they don't shut it down unless they have to!!
Ear protection is always required in the engine room!.....you British or what?!!
I my boat, I would get on their asses for not wearing ear protection

In these times it's great to see anything British starting up instead of crumbling down
I'm US and I remind people here how British Ind. design led for 100 years or more 'Deltec Diesel a good example' and now we follow others (China, Japan etc.) in industry and lead only in com/tel/teck. marketing and ( litigation, a new science)
I assume British Polar is the name of the engine manufacturer. Is this another casualty of ship-building's infestation with socialists? In other words, it no longer exists.
Diesel powers our computer generation. This is the finest white noise generator of all.
It's a noisy life as a tug man.
They would run forever those two stroke polars not by today's standards eco frendly but none of them was back then
@FooBar Maximus a two stroke deisel was not very freindly to yhe air ?none of yhe engines built then was ???
Carlos Garcia- your English is a lot better than my Spanish.
Beautiful and restful white noise...thanks.
do you gents have a vid where you take her out and show the kids how it's done?
I couldn't sleep. All better now!
Absolutely beautifully done congrats.
