Unslipping a Dresden Paddle Steamer

Ever wondered how the Dresden paddle steamers are slipped at the Laubegast Shipyard in Germany? Then take a look at this video filmed last week as PS Krippen was put back in the water ready for the 2025 season after her refit. The video is shot in real time. It takes quite a while. Nothing happens fast. So make yourself a cup of tea. Break out the tin of biscuits. Relax in your armchair and enjoy: Unslipping a Dresden Paddle Steamer – Kingswear Castle
