That little tug was giving it all she had! I'm pretty sure the pilot had the throttles full forward! That was fun to watch!

Quite an impressive rig. Did not know the sheer-leg would have it's own propulsion - was scratching my head until all that torque howled into action. "Wet the ropes... and do the windows while you're out there!" 😄And that Water Lilly is such a dainty flower on the canal... that will push you to Hell and back! Literally.

Fantastic. Now that is what l call boat handling, pulling at WOT with the odd balls to the wall by a pusher. All done with the windage of a square rigger with feet to spare. These guys are the best waterman on the planet.

@@MrBugsier5 you find that funny huh Just shows you've never been there and done that The Miami River is narrow and winding through the heart of the city like a mountain trail It is lined on both sides with both commercial, yacht and pleasure boats It has a constant flow of heavy traffic of everything from John boats, fishing boats, super yachts and drunken pleasure boats with drunk girls flashing anyone with a camera The river has one drawbridge after another some of which are at bends in the river With a tug on the front pulling and a stearn tug stearing The bridge wings of the ships 🚢 being pulled in and out miss the raised drawbridge by inches While the tugs are having to come inches away from moored boats and ships on each bank All while having drunks in small boats try and squeeze past at the same time Yeah, it definitely is a thousand % more difficult than this or anywhere most captains will ever see

That is a very tight fit! I like the way you followed the car down the canal from the bridge to the tugs.

These fabulous watercraft skills come about because it is not just job security and job satisfaction they are perfecting and protecting, but the very existence of the country they love and call home. Parts of some other countries are also "hollow" but not nearly the percentage hollow that the Dutch have to maintain against. Holland - hollow land.

I saw this go by at this exact location while i was at work, amazing to see them manouver that crane across the water

That is TRUE ship handling. Well caught video.

"Don't try in a storm" A that would be common sense..... Just barley fits on a calm day!! Hats off to those TUG boat CAPTAIN'S!!! That run that river!!! Great job!!!🌎👍

and the dude is casually playing with his hose

Remember that the crane raft is equipped with two engines (one on each side at the stern) and rudder. So there was also a skilled helmsman on board the crane.

I often wonder how inefficient using a tug boat is. All that wash from the tug's prop hits the bow of the boat being pulled and adds to the load.

The crane barge being pulled has it's own power source but needs the front tug for steering stability through tight corners and bridges and locks

Nice one.Interesting vehicles,in background.Those are 'just' pieces,of a much bigger thing.

The biggest problem they were fighting is that the propwash from the tug is pushing right back against the the crane platform. While there is usually better control when towing rather than pushing a longer towing cable would have made a lot of difference by giving more area to distribute the propwash before trying to pull the load through it, especially with a square bow.

Although lengthening the tow line would have reduced the directional accuracy of the tow. It comes down to a trade-off between the two outcomes.

That looks hard to do. That crane would make a hell of a good lightninig rod.

He who sits at the very back on the port side of the last raft, sits with all the controls of the Push Barge that pushes the stern end of the raft. Absolutely amazing technology.

just thinking the same thing , when close - coupled like this the tugs wash is forced against the bluff bows of the barge , that has got to cause more resistance , right ??

Ya'll aren't much of boat captains. You need to have those tugs behind the barges and pushing them. The prop wash hitting the front of the barges with the boats being in front of them is pushing the barges backwards defeating their progress to move forward.......

I've joined in the speculation of what these hull sections are for. I recently thought that they might be for a ship extending program, i.e. insert two section in an existing one just to provide more cargo space. Anyone know if that is a possibility. I don't think it has been mentioned before. When the storms were raging was the sheerlegs moored with a couple of anchor bolts screwed into the canal bank?
