 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm cruising on the Danube on a paddle steamer called the Schoenbrunn. She was built in 1912 and named after the palace in Viera. I'm going to take you for a little tour of this ship. We're going to go all around it and just see this fantastic vessel in operation, one of the many areas where you can sit and enjoy being on board. There's one staircase, there's two staircases. We'll go downstairs soon. It's going to be a little bit windy out here. So what I'm going to do, I'm just going to run around this bit fairly quickly. We're going to go out. We're heading upstream on the Danube. We're now heading towards the front of the vessel. So it's going to get windier here. Just going to run through to the very front. We get to here and this is now the front of the vessel. So this is looking upstream on the Danube. The main mast here with all these wonderful flags on. When we left Linz, where we started, they had to lower the mast down to get us under the bridges. But once we were clear of the bridges, the mast was raised. So we're going to continue. We're probably about five or six miles now upstream of Linz. We're going to go and have a look around the rest of the ship. You can see our funnel. Let's go around here and go down here. Now what we'll do, we'll go to the back of the ship. We'll go downstairs and have a walk around. So I think the bridge is, we're just passing here. There's a funnel there. Yes, the bridge up there. You can see that the captain will be up there steering her down the Danube. It's quite warm here because we're going to have a better look. Down there is the entrance. You may just be able to see the cylinders of the paddle seat. It's quite an amazing sight. But we're going to have a better look at that later on. We've got some indoor accommodation there. We've got another big indoor room here. This ship can carry about 900 people. There's only about 50 odd on it today. On a railway touring company's chart of the ship for four hour cruise on the Danube. Very, very nice onboard. This is an Austrian holiday. We're doing various railways. And this afternoon we're doing this cruise. We're coming to here. Now this is, it doesn't appear to be a bar, but this is where hopefully later on I'll come and get a beer. So you can see there's some beer on top. They also do coffee. So that is the bar. And you can sit in these areas here if you wish to sit there and enjoy a beer, a wine, a coffee, whatever you would like to. Now we go out from here. This takes us out towards the back of the boat to the stern. So if you look out at the windows down there, you can see down the Danube. So at some point I'm not sure when, but we're going to turn around. And probably when I finish this video we're going to head back down towards Linse. It really is a beautiful stretch of the Danube. I've seen the Danube before in various other cities, mainly Budapest. Been to Budapest quite a few times. I've never actually been on the boat of any kind on the Danube. We're going to go down these stairs now. You can see me in the mirror. So we'll go down the stairs and have a look, see what there is to see down here. There's a little souvenir shop there so you can buy souvenirs on the ship. Give you an idea of what she looks like. This is her hair. And then you can do various trips on her. So there's a leaflet on the trip there. That's a full day cruise from 8.30 in the morning till 6 o'clock in the evening. I think it'd be really quite nice spending time on here. I could easily spend the day on here. There's other, you get little kitchen rooms. There's another bar there. And this is another quite large room. As I said, this boat can accommodate 500 people. I'm glad there's not 500 people on board today, because I think if there was, making this video a bit harder. There's a plan there. I believe downstairs, which we probably can't go to, but I think downstairs there's cabins, so that would be quite nice to have gone down to the cabins. So we're going to walk along here. They've got toilets along this section of the boat. Down there. See the engine again. That's pretty fascinating. Have another look here. So the cylinder's down there, pushing forward. Driving the whole thing. See the engine on three system rods. Continue down here. Quite noisy. I think the boiler room must be down here. It's going quite warm. That's the boiler room down there. You can see the oil fire boilers. It's great to go down and have a look. There's a plan, I think, explaining how the boiler works. Obviously steam burns oil to drive to the main steam to prepare us along. Here's all the knots. My grandmother used to know lots of knots. He was in the Navy, but he did. He used to fire steamships. He used to fire minesweepers in the Navy. He went down there. That's a bit similar to what my grandfather had been doing. He was shoveling coal the whole time. I remember him telling me stories about how when they shoot a mine, sometimes they'd let him have a go at shooting the mine, and he said it would stun the fish. They'd build his cod float around, and they'd go down in a boat, and they'd pick up the cod, and that was their dinner. It's amazing to see it. I've seen the fillings that are working hard to drive this huge steam ship. Let's look at this. Let's go around. It's really amazing to be down here. Normally, when you get to go on these ships, you never get to come down into the engine room. We're going to the boiler room now. It's very noisy in there, so I don't know how much we're going to be able to save. We're going to go through this very low door. And this is the boiler room now. It's really hot in here. You can see the oil fire boiling. It's not going to get too close. I could show you down there, because I didn't think I'd be able to do that. So that was really nice to see. So that was fantastic to see. There's nothing on the street around here. So that's her name. She's Hungarian, and as you watch my videos, I know everything Hungarian I really like. Hungary is one of my favourite countries. So it's nice to be aboard a Hungarian built steam ship. And of course, as I've already mentioned, it does go down towards Hungary. When I walk back down here, I'm going to go to the back of the boat, passing the boiler together. It's great to go if you want to get heat on this ship without the boiler. Let's go to the back of the boat, and then I'm going to continue enjoying it. I'm only going to have a beer now, because I really am quite hot after charging a pound for shit making this video. But it's really a wonderful ship. I really, really like it. They're selling modern trains in a souvenir shop. This is just like getting better and better from various books you can buy off the ship. So I'm going to have a look at that. Interesting things to see in there. Let's go upstairs again now. We've come to the back of the boat, where I can see people enjoying a beer, and I'm going to join them in a moment. So let's just go out on deck. I'm not sure it's going to be too windy, but we'll go out there anyway. I'll join you in a minute. We're coming up to another town, so I'm just getting ready to see another town coming up. Look, there's people rowing. I wonder if I wait for these people rowing if they're going to wave back. Once she's going to whistle, there's a castle coming up, there's another town, and there's a castle, so I wonder if she's going to whistle. This is what these people on the rowing boat go by. It's a really lovely stretch for the venue, amazing. I know I really like railways, but at the moment, I really like ships that row. I've got a cheer from them. I accept they can't row, because they've got a potter power, because their boat isn't steam powered like this one. Their boat is muscle powered, so really, they're doing the hard work, and I'm just amazing. I'm enjoying this trip. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe, and comment. If you're in Lints, if you can, do come and have a trip on this ship, and Lints is a great city. There's tramways, there's the Postaling Burg, which is great to do. I haven't done that on this visit. I did nine years ago. So thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe, and comment, and from on the venue, on the paddle steamer. Goodbye.
