There are two types of people in the world: Those who are excited by a headline reading “4K Time Lapse of a Boat Navigating Dutch Canals,” and those who are not excited by a headline reading “4K Time Lapse of a Boat Navigating Dutch Canals.”

Put me in the former. This is pretty impressive. Recorded in 2013.

thats crazy - where the heck was it coming from? is that a regular trip or like once in a while from the yard and then back into service??

What was he pulling? That's what I want to know.

Wow! Feels like playing Mario Cart with a tug boat

Damn, that's a lot of bridges.

The speed that some of those barges travel through those narrow canals is impressive.

That's the most relaxed I've felt on a long time - thank you! Yes, I'd love to know what he was towing. A yacht maybe? Something tall and not very long.

ukadrianj

Maybe not a yacht - comments say the camera was 30m high!

jettore

Ah I didn't see that. Maybe a barge with a crane.

Tom W Clark

Yes, 30 meters is almost 100 feet. Very high, in other words.

According to the credits, the video was commissioned by Shell & Spie, both in the oil and gas business, so the load was probably not a yacht.

A barge stacked so high it looks tipsy.
