Steam Tug Yoshino Maru
Yoshino Maru is a twin screw steam tugboat, built in 1947 and operated by the Ministry of Railways. It was commonly called an auxiliary steamship. While it is a tugboat, it was also engaged in the transfer of the replacement crew to the railway ferry, maintenance of route signs, and port cleaning.
This tug is an improved version of the earlier Tetsuei maru class, being equipped with a Kort Nozzle to increase the thrust. It was removed from service in the 1970s alongside the other tugs due to the introduction of more modern tugs.
(It is a fictional tug heavily based off the Esashi Maru).
1. Go to engine room, where the boiler is located.
2. Turn on boiler pumps, and turn the igniter key.
3. Wait for the boiler to reach around 100 degrees. The pistons will start moving after abit.
4. Control from either the wheelhouse or the steering helm located aft of the tug. The throttle engages around 0.319.
NOTES
– The boiler is manually fuelled but there is 63 coal, so you need to shove coal after a while.
– To do on spot steering, turn on the port engine reverser for turning left, starboard engine reverser for turning right.
– Switch both reversers to reverse.
– The recommended temperature value for the boiler heat control is around 130 – 140. Higher temp for under load.
– It is an open-loop steam system.
– To enable the ‘fast mode’ there it is a turnkey on the wheelhouse.
