I love these early documentaries. Much less hyperbole, better presentation, too.
I noticed the Daniel J. Morrell was the carrier he was showing from the side. Split in half some 20 years later in Huron
she was also shown in "The Long Ships Passing" shot in 1959, there's one real good clear shot of her in color film
So this video has footage of both the Carl D. Bradley and the Morrell! Wow. A time machine.
I always love it when people who are not from the Great Lakes comment on the Lakers Design.
@Johnny Sportcoat And they all stink!

Lake Freighter Design before 1974 (With Pilot House Forward & Engine Cabins Aft) is The Design for Lake Freighters. The last ship with the Classic Pilot House Forward & Engines aft is the Algosoo of 1974, which is why I say the Design “Before” 1974. Today, modern day Lake Freighters have all cabins aft.
Don’t get me wrong, the 1000 Footers and AftEnders are all cool, but still, the Classic Design is *THE DESIGN* for the Ore Carrying LakeBoats.
Those were the days......
I was born in the city of Marquette. I have watched the 'boats' as we called them.
Da Boats... lol
I hear ya ~Port Huron here~ my grandfather sailed..! ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Hello from Manistique
I'm from southern georgian bay. We call em boats too. My grandfather, mom, and dad, and uncle all worked on these. After high school, in, like 1977, they both worked the boats, separate after marriage. Then after the season, they bought their first house cash money. 38 grand. Fuck
When Detroit was the busiest port in the world.
I live about 2hrs from the limestone mine shown in this film. It’s calcite in Rogers city Mi.
My grandfather moved to Rodger City from Canada in the early 1900s he sailed on the first CarlDBradley not the one that sunk however he new many of the men who passed away on the other CarlDBradley
I would love to know ship or barge that is at 9:14. She doesn't have the 1903+ arch hold construction, have vertical hold stanchions and what looks like the remnants of "tween decks". Most ship built like that were rebuilt by the 1930's.
her owners might've not seen much point to rebuilding her and were waiting for an excuse to scrap the vessel
I wonder what year this was made? I'm thinking late 40's or early 50's. The footage of the Soo locks show people walking around right next to the locks. You have not been able to do that in a long time. When I was a kid in the early 70's there were already special viewing areas you had to stay in and could not get that close to the ships.
I think you are right. There is no mention of the Mackinac Bridge, and the footage of the Soo lacks the International Bridge as well!
I found something that said EBE 1951. And another description that said 1940’s
Based on the Soo Locks footage after 1945 and before Korean War began. The MacArthur Lock which opened in 1943 is there. Visitors were not allowed on the Locks during WWII and were again restricted when the Korean War began (and not allowed access again except for special events.
At least some of this was filmed in the fifties. The Rogers City part showed the Carl D. Bradley. If you look at her stack it only has an L on it. Bradley Transportation Company used a L embossed over a M until it became part of US Steel. I think that was 1951 or 1952, and the Carl D Bradley was lost in 1958. So I would say between 51 and 58.
@@danielhowe5435 The color of the documentary!
