"Did You Know?" nomination for chain boat needs references

Hallo, Salino. Ich habe den Artikel chain boat für die DYK Abschnitt auf der Hauptseite nominiert. Aber es braucht noch ein paar Quellen. Siehe Template:Did you know nominations/Chain boat. Kannst du dabei helfen? --Bermicourt (talk) 04:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Chain boat navigation

Thanks very much for pointing me to the sources page. A couple of more recent sources:

• Bernard Le Sueur: Le Touage - Histoire et technique (Les Cahiers du Musée de la Batellerie, Vol 34), Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 1995 [ISBN 2-909044-29-7]
• Lars U Scholl: Als die Hexen Schiffe schleppten, Ernst Kabel, Hamburg 1985 [ISBN 3-8225-0006-2]

Thanks for the literature hints. In the German Wikipedia there are also several excellent articles for the rivers in Germany (e.g. Main, Neckar, Elbe..) as well as for rivers and canals in France [1]. The list I send you in the link above are all free and readable without restriction. In German the book from Zesewitz (Sigbert Zesewitz, Helmut Düntzsch, Theodor Grötschel: Kettenschiffahrt. VEB Verlag Technik, Berlin 1987, ISBN 3-341-00282-0) is very good (but not free). It is mainly fokusse on the river Elbe. If you are interested I can send you a scan, because you cant buy the book anymore.

The German book you cite is focussed about the river Rhein. Therefore it should mainly describe the "Seilschifffahrt" by rope (c.p. [2]). The french article sounds very good. I will try to get a scan of it.--Salino01 (talk) 04:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the offer on Zesewitz, that would be very kind - davidjasprey@gmail.com will find me.

The French booklet (well-illustrated, 60 x A4 pages) is still available at €10.00 - http://museebatellerie.blogspot.fr/p/nos-cahiers.html Davidships (talk) 12:50, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't translate articles anymore. You can take the article and finish the work, or ask someone another for help. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 15:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
