Home Videos on Charlotte Rhodes?

[galacticprobe]

Greetings, All,

Things have been rather quiet on the group lately, so when I came across this I thought everyone would find it interesting. I was searching the web for sources from which to purchase "The Onedin Line" dvds and saw a link to YouTube. I checked it out and found what looks like some home movies that were taken aboard the Charlotte Rhodes back in 1979. (It looks like it's all in German.) A friend of mine who speaks some German said the first caption (with the person climbing the ratlines) says "Where are the handles?"; the second caption (at the wheel) says "James the second", possibly a reference to this version of James Onedin at the wheel.

Anyway, here's the link:

If that link doesn't work for some reason, just do a YouTube search for "Onedin Line in Ymuiden" which is the piece's title.

Later,
Dino

Good Saturday morning all,
 
What a great find, Galacticprobe! I have just been watching part of the YouTube video, and I can inform you that this is not German but all Dutch. I am Dutch too, you see, and the town of IJmuiden is near Amsterdam, at the North Sea. (It is spelled with an I and a J at the beginning, not a Y).
 
My poot is very slow and has trouble downloading the whole video but the person who made this did a really good job. The Charlotte Rhodes made her very last journey this time, from IJmuiden onto the North Sea – she was owned by a Dutchman who purchased her after she had done her job in the 'Onedin Line'. This trip was made in 1979, and as she lay in the harbour of Amsterdam that year, vandals set fire to her and she was blown to pieces. My heart broke when I read about this a few years ago, and I have a copper engraved piece on the wall in my living room with Dartmouth on the background in my living room as my own personal tribute to her.
 
Hope Marianne can help me out with the Dutch as, like I said, my pooter is not working with me and I can't see/listen to the full video. But thanks for this anyway!
 
Have a great Saturday everyone.
 
Nathalie

I'm happy you liked the video, Nathalie. I haven't heard much of the Dutch language so I yield to your knowledge there. Thanks for making me that little bit smarter. (Heavens knows someone has to because I'm not having much luck doing it on my own!)

The only reason I thought it was German is because a friend of mine who watched the video said she recognized what they were saying, and translated what she said sounded like German. (The translation made perfect sense to me considering what the people supposedly said. I had to take her word for it because I didn't know any better.)

Whoever posted that video to YouTube spelled the title with a Y, so again I yield to your knowledge of the language for the correct spelling as being with the IJ.

Hi Dino,
 
Thanks for your response! Been on the phone with Marianne after our last contact, for the first time….. very nice new friendship….. 🙂
 
I'm happy to say that I got myself a laptop last week so I am finally able to view YouTube videos! Yay…..! So when I have the time – perhaps this weekend – I will watch it again and translate it all for you. Proper Dutch, me – born, bred and buttered….. 😆
 
Hope you are all well, and have a good weekend!
 
 
Nath
