Hi Guys, I have uploaded some photos of tugs I have taken over the years, my photo library is now holding well over 15,000, these are of all sorts of ships, if you need any photos I will endeavour to post them. Cheers, Dan.
-
These are excellent pictures Dan - thanks very much for posting them. I'm sure everyone on here would like to see more.
Best Wishes

Fantastic tug pics. keep em coming. Would you, by chance, have any of the Seabex. Thats the servicing vessel, the model of which, Graupner puts out?
John

Fantastic pictures Dan!!!!!
Would you happen to have the following in your inventory:
Seaspan Royal
Seaspan Regent
Genmar Wave
Genmar Storm
I'm building the 'Royal' at the moment, in 1/28 scale
Thanks

..Thanks Dan..
Much appreciated 8)

john:
Thanks very much. No wonder I've never found pics of her I didn't know they renamed her. Certainly looks in sad shape in the yellow scheme.
thanks again
John

These pictures are excellent.
I am especiall interested in the pacific blade or any of her sister ships as i am going to be building a model of her within the next couple of weeks.
Also do you have any shots of the wimpey seahunter?
Thanks

a rather good pictures of sebex one (acergy osprey) from the air. Download the pdf you get a good picture of her.
-
hi dan,
those really are some great pictures of various vessels :-)) , how do you manage to get so many and so close up?
i am planning to build a 1:50 scale model of the Smit Rotterdam and since you seem to have so many pictures i was wondering if you have any pictures of the Smit Rotterdam you could share with me
many thanks, Dan
-
Thats a good photo. It shows alot of the detail towwards the bow of the ship & the life boats. I havent detailed the model of my wimpey seahunter atall but as soon as i can gather enough info i will. This photo will help alot!
Thanks!

Dan (Sea Mariner)
One of the things I like most about your pics are the overhead shots that show the decks, particularly aft decks. The amount of paraphernalia aboard that makes a more interesting model. Its an area we landlubbers rarely see, so your photos bring it to life and allow us an insight into what we can, or can't, include as detail on the decks of our various tugs.
Keep em coming......all good stuff.
John

Good Morning Garabaldy, if you are not aware, there is another site similar to this one called MODELTUGFORUM.COM on there is a fantastic set of photographs of a 'walk-around' on the Pacific Banner (sister to Pacific Blade) these are very handy detailed photos that will help you with your model. Regards, Dan.
Im glad you found them helpfull. Ron1
-
awesome!
sea mariner - do you sail your models in duthie park?
-
I live a good 30 miles out of the city so my nearest water is either a river of the loch of skene. I used to live in the new flats just beside bonacord glass but imoved from there just as i started getting back into boating. The regatta was great. Lots of nice models.
Any luck with that e-mail?
G
-
Thats a long way! I have recieved 6 emails from you all within 10 minutes or so. Hotmail must be misbehaving! The photos are excellent! They are going to be a huge help when i start buidling. Like some one said before you have some great shots which show the ships from higher up allowing us to see whats on the decks. What kind of SLR do you use?
Again, cant thank you enough for the photos.
G
-
Ive always really liked the maersk tugs. I would LOVE to get hold of some plans to build one but its proving to be very difficult.... Theres some really good models maersk ships on the OSV society website
-
Here are a couple of a tug in drydock, for those interrested in rop etc detail.
-
excellent shots. Abeille Flandre is a vessel I've had aspirations to scratch build if I could find drawings. Its interesting to see how relatively small the rudders are on such a large vessel.
John

Aberdeen harbour tug and one taken from the OSV society site which isn't real but it mite as well be!

Here are some more pics I have.

Hi sea.mariner, enjoying the tug piccys. Any luck withe Bugsier tugs? I am just away to my drawing board.
regards Roy
-
Hi Dan
Thanks for sharing the photos with the forum, for people building tugs the detail they show is invaluable. I for one enjoy looking at them.
Thanks
Brian

Rmasmaster
Is the Anker Dubai-Star-5 carrying an anchor over the stern, as she looks very low or is it the angle of the picture
Brian
-
Hi Chingdevil,
Yes that is an anchor rigged for slipping, she must be an anchor handler. Some one was saying they wanted some Bugsier pics, hope these are okay.
-
Hi sea.mariner, thanks for looking much appreciated,
regards Roy
-
Hi again, well here are some which end with numbers, but I suspect they not the one you want.
-
the balder and vidar vikings are some of my favourite tugs. They are often docked in aberdeen harbour so i see them all the time. I never knew they were icebreakers until recently though. One day maybe i will model one of them :-)
-
That would be an awesome feature to build into a a model! Do you have any photos showing the cranes? Cant quite make them out on these ones.
Now to try and get some plans......
-
I am not to sure how many people have seen this one, she sits just across the water in Holland, not far from the Hook van Holland.
she was Built in 1916, and as far as i know the last working triple expantion steam engine in her, she was changed from coal to oil in the 1950's
can be visited, and if your lucky or phone prior, can have a trip on her. :-))
-
typical aberdeen weather huh?
-
I presume that foredeck on "Highland Prestige" is to shed heavy seas.
If so, they must expect to sail in very, heavy weather! Not for me thank you!
Roger in France
-
That style of bow seen on the highland prestige seems to be th norm on all new ships which operate in the north sea. The "x bow" will do the same i expect.
-
Excellent! :-))
-
Great shots!! :-))
John
-
Not my photo but its a nice one. Its not even a tug of any sorts either! Saw her arriving in aberdeen last summer. Shes huge!

Yes they have grown! Summer? What summer.... {-)
-
Now this one was a tug.
-
Hi Sea.Mariner
Did you ever find any pics of the Seaspan Royal in your archives??
Mike
-
The people who design/make these vessels are artists.
Why go to the Tate or places like that when you have true quality like these?
I envy you sea.nmariner!
Ron.
-
These photos are Excellent SM, what camera are you using?
-
These photos are Excellent SM, what camera are you using?
Pentax Optio E35
-
Cheers Ron, weather permitting I will be back down the harbour tomorrow with the camera so will be posting some more photos tomorrow night, not to make you more envious of course !!!! Regards, Dan.
You succeeded!!! :-))
-
I only knew what camera you have because I saved the pic and viewed the properties, wanted to seem clever y'see ;)
-
Oooh pretty colours...
-
These are great!
Thanks. :-))
-
Sea.Mariner
Do all the tugs you have shown on the forum service the offshore oil industry, or do they work in other areas?
Brian
-
Some excellent photos' there Dan,
I would love to have the skill and dexterity to make a scale replica of that one ! Guess the electrics would be quite complicated as well - do my eyes deceive me or are there really THREE bow thrusters and TWO stern thrusters.
........and as you say, windows and handrails galore %%
..........and then there's the cranes and Helideck.
OK then, maybe after I retire........hmmmm.
-
Dan,
Remember "Never apologise"! You can post photos of any vessel which is as interesting as those you have shared with us.
You do realise, I hope, that you are responsible for inspiring many Mayhem Members to think about building some of the fascinating ships you photograph. So, enraged partners; protesting bank managers; frustrated builders all want your telephone number, please.
Excellent photos, please keep them coming.

Lovely potential build that pilot boat. Great uncluttered deck but plenty of interest in the superstructure and the mast etc.
Foger in France

Hi Dan,
Those latest photos of Power Express - do you know whether she was formerly the Field Express ?
-
Dan,
Great pics, think I have just found too many new projects :o
Do you have any pics of the Bourbon Orca?
Ian
-
Dan all the pics you have sent me of the pacific B boats are fantastic. i have spent hours studying them. When i start the superstructure im going to get a few of them printed off and laminated so i can use them in the shed :-))
-
Hello
Wouah, superb topic... All the ships I like :o
Thank you Dan !
And Aberdeen, such a nice place, I was there last June for work and I 've the chance to take some pics of two of my favorite AHTS : the swedish yellow and black.

I've hundred of detail pics for those two ships, unfortunuatly I've no pics of the third Vidar
Just for fun and as Dan have the Xbow Bourbon Orca as signature pics : the model on which I'm working actually (1.82 meter - 60 kg when loaded ...)

One question Dan, could it be possible to receive large definition pics of the Pacific B... ships ? One of my friend is building this model.
Have a nice day

Where did you get the plans for the Orca? This is next on my build list, Bourbon and Ulstein both wouldnt let me have a lines diagram, so I am currently working on my own design.
Ian
-
Hello
I've a correct plan of the Orca but I can't disperse it ... Sorry
Anyway my hull is not the Orca. It's a little bit larger one as I'm not interrested with the Orca itself (I don't lake green ;D)
Xtian
-
Oh fluff {:-{
Can you tell me where you got it from?
Ian (good at keeping secrets) ok2
-
:} don't try to corrupt <*<
Have you seen this one ?
http://picasaweb.google.de/Peter.S.aus.O/NewProjects#
The hull is more scuptural than a drawing but not so bad.

Would a bribe help? %)

My name is Elliot .... Elliot Ness :police:
-
Superb pics.
Considering the conditions these vessels work in...i.e. the weather...I am very surprised how clean, neat and tidy they all look. Hardly a sign of weathering anywhere. Is this down to good maintenence or high quality "paint"?
I have noticed that many "continental" fishing vessels coming into North Shields display a similar pristine appearance. Whereas the majority (not all) of the local boats look like rust-buckets even when quite new. Or is it a "mind set" between nations? BY.
-
hi dan,
great pics, do you have any pics of Smit Zweden or its sister tugs?
-
many thanks :-))
-
Some excellent "detail" shots in there - crystal clear ! :-))

Foger in France
Dear Foger in France!
There was a free plan in the February edition of Model Boats Magazine of the Sea Shephard by J. Pottinger.
I think it is to a scale of 1:50. but I have left the plan at work to get copied so I am not too sure.

Hi, I work offshore on a pipelay vessel. I have collected pictures of some of the supply vessels that have been involved with the projects i have worked on.
I can send full size pictures to anybody who requires them...
The vessels featured are:
Grampian Surveyor
Boulder
Normand Fliipper
Sea Lynx
Fairmount Summit
I hope these can be of some help

PBM made a kit called "forties shore", have you got the boat that the kit was based on at all?

Finally IOS Panther

thanks Davie, if i say so myself, thats not a bad looking vessel, actually quite attractive compared to the x-bow horiffics.
I may get some of malc reade's port holes and drill through into the sides of nord icelandia (not all the way, enough to make an indent into the hull) then put the port holes on her.
-
Hello
The Forties Shore was not this Sea Panther (as you see the picture shows a fully different ship !)
The former Forties Shore is actually named Amarco Leo under Panama flag
http://www.amarco-group.com/vesselspecs/index.htm
About Xbow, I was thinking like you Ghost but I've changed my mind, in fact it's like cars or everything you just need to accustom your eye.
When I was young I was a Volskwagen Golf I lover. Then the Golf mark II appeared and I was thinking, "the nb 1 still the best" ... Then the mark III appeared and I was thinking "humm the nb 2 have a better look" ... I don't know now Mark IV or Mark V ? ... Anyway now when I see a old Golf Mark I in a street I don't understand why I was so negative with change, and it's worst if I have to drive it ...
It's the same for boat... Our eyes and our brain are used in a kind of conformity.
I'm a seaman and if tomorrow I have the choice between 28 days in winter in North Sea aboard of the Bourbon Orca or aboard of the Forties Shore, I don't have to think about the answer !

I'm not sure what has happened, but thanks for posting the photos you did. They were great for all modelers.

I am sorry to here that you are leaving the forum Dan your postings have been very informative.
Brian
-
am i loosing the plot
or have a lot of sea mariners posts been removed.
there are refs by roger in f of a pilot boat, and refs about others from members, even ones about dan leaving
someone please explain to old gits like me what's going on
ta. neil. :-))
-
Neil
You are not losing ther plot.
It does appear that all of Dan's posts in this thread have been removed.
I think we would all be greatful for an explanation as to why the posts need to be removed if a forum member decides to leave?
Any mods care to comment about the post removal please?
Thanks
Jules

Sea Mariner was banned for an offensive posting in another thread, when the ban was implemented he stated he wanted all his photos removed from the forum. Martin did ask him to reconsider after his ban had expired
When his ban expired he once again asked for his photos to be removed from the forum, Martin has complied with this request.
So Neil and others you are not going mad
Brian

cheers, brian.
thought i was howling for a moment. neil.

Avec un ami nous construisons ce bateau de 170cm et de 50 kg environ
lui a fait les Z-durs et les propulseurs d'Etrave (tous fonctionnels) et moi je fait le reste (c'est très lourd)
J'ai eu beaucoup de difficultés pour obtenir les plans que je ne peux donner à quiconque.
Mais j'ai le moule de la coque en fibre de verre.
hello
With a friend we build this ship of 170cm and 50 kg
he made the Z-drives and bow thruster (all functional) and I did the rest (very heavy)
I had many difficulties to get the shots that I can give anyone.
But I have the mould of the hull in fibreglass
