Look and learn ....do not repeat ...these mistakes...fight for OUR RIGHTS.

Just came across this in 2024 and can i risk getting a lot of flac from other viewers, by presenting a different view. First there is no doubt of the sincerity and motivation behind the union men here. They wanted to preserve employment for the men and you can see their point of view but what about the viability of the shipbuilding on the Clyde ? Lets be honest if other countries can make ships cheaper what can you do ? Its the same in any industry. I think of the steel and coal industries which are also more or finished too. How can we improve things ? I just don't know.

‌ ‌lovely bit of engineering, with no cad design.

Beautiful peace of machinery!

i can understand there is a high pressure cylinder and a low pressure cylinder. but what about the other components of the ship ? like those silver robot like things that go back and forth and those black hexagon like wheels????

Brilliant ! I visited the maid some years ago, maybe 6 or 7 I think. There was a tea room on board. Thanks a lot , Colin, Wakefield.

56 rpm. Scotty was giving it all she's got!

Love the guys sitting in the pub.righting the future.but where grafters on the clyde

100 years ago, there used to be a large number of sidewheelers like this on the US Great Lakes. My mother took a trip on Seeandbee, a night stateroom boat, and my mother in law went on the Tashmoo, a legendary fast boat on the Detroit to Port Huron river run. Both had the same inclined triple expansion design. Also, there were some sidewheel rail car ferrys traveling across the Detroit River, Detroit to Windsor. One of them, Lansdowne, had the sidewheels not connected, with 2 separate engines, so she could steer like a Bobcat. I watched Lansdowne at both the Detroit and Windsor docks. Eventually, she blew a cylinder head, and was moved by a tug after that. During WW-II, 2 of the large sidewheelers were converted to small aircraft carriers for pilot training on Lake Michigan out of Chicago.

Astonished to see PS Maid of the Loch's engines turning under steam! I last saw the Maid way back in 1990 and so, so many years later, to see (and hear) her breathing life again is wonderful. Well done all!

Will there be starting bells or whatever they are?

Yup. That’s the sound that inspired the “industrial soundtrack” in the zero-decimal nodes in fiction.

I went on this boat and there's a steep ladder down in to the lower decks and lots to read l haven't been on a boat since I was sea sick going up the Thames from Westminster to Greenwich one time

How do they differentiate between the two paddle wheels or are they just fixed together on one shaft?

whistle sound effect at the beginning sounds like it was lifted from the VItal spark episode "the Quarrel" :)

Anyone know what the round inserts are for, in the connecting rod guides?

Yes looks like 56 rpm which was her trials achievement in 1947… amazing.(but costly :))

"Take her to Sea Mr. Murdock, lets Stretch her legs"

I enjoyed my voyage in The Bristol Channel ..This year .June 2023....Clevedon to Ilfracombe ...Loved it ...She is WONDERFUL...Waiting for her River Thames itinerary...Fingers Crossed...Douglas F Vick...Cheltenham Spa....

I am a complete ignoramus but fascinated. Can someone explain to me please why I can’t see the crank shaft? I don’t see particularly what the middle one is turning? Please help a fool and explain.

beautiful very beautiful I love 💘 it

It was 2001 when I first traveled on the Waverley

by god, just fall asleep to such a wonderful thrum, absolutely beautiful engine

4 minute mark for any one that just wants to skip ahead and listen to her really just open up and stretch her legs, such a beautiful sound

i could just fall asleep listening to the sound of that engine, utterly magnificent

nice view of the crank :-)

I always hated that colour scheme!

What do we hear chugging before the get her going?

I saw the Waverley arrive in Rothesay 22/23 (?) June 2005 with a full pipe band aboard playing. The band I believe had won a championship competition in Glasgow (West Highland Championships?). It then marched along the streets. It was wonderful sight. Can anyone tell me the name of the band and what they had won please?

These engines are similar to the Titanic‘s engine

Having fired boilers on steam ships, steam has its own pleasant smell.I don't want to see any old ships left to rot. Cheers to these guys for what they have done..

Now we need to get the Crown Jewel back, the RMS Queen Mary from Long Beach California!

Polished this crankshaft 30 years ago at Mitchell and Shackleton patricroft manchester 🚢

Polished this crank at Mitchell Shackleton 27 years ago manchester

I went on this yesterday and even though this is old technology I couldn’t believe how fast it actually went. Modern ships may be more fuel efficient but they don’t have their inner workings on display to the same extent, so it’s a great education too.

Have tried in 2022 to find this webcam but can't find it now. Very frustrating now that Waverley is on Thames.

Same engines as titanic had triple expansion engines

just a question can you please tell me what the parts of the engine are ???

Astern = going backward .

It looks like it’s ready to crumble. With a 6 million dollar drive to repair it, it seems like you could build a new one with harvested parts from the first one.

Toot toot! :)

Brilliant! Thank you for posting

Is there a reduction gear between the crankshaft and the paddle wheel on the outside of the vessel?

I never thought anyone would still build steam engines.

Wonderful to see. But I’m curious about the crank throws, as a three cylinder, are they actually at 120 degrees out from each other? It appears, to me anyway, that there is a difference in the phasing of either outer journal when compared to the other using the center as reference. Thank you for posting, large steam engines are fascinating.

What about the speed it could generate,cannit be worthy selling in an ocean or confine only to river cruising? I am just asking.
