A Walk Through the National Museum of the Great Lakes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This video is of my visit to the National Museum of the Great Lakes, located on the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. This follows my two-part video walk-through to Greenfield Village, which followed my two-part walk-through of the Henry Ford Museum, part of a week-long "Michigan & Ohio Museum Odyssey".
I follow this video with a visit to the British Transportation Museum in Dayton, Ohio, before heading to other museums in Ohio.
This has been one of the best ship walks that I have seen. Being retired Navy, your tour of both ships was the best I have watched. You did not race over the ships in such a way that I got dizzy watching your tour. In a word "EXCELLENT". Stopping to read signs for information was most enlightening which hasn't been in the past. Many of them were things I didn't know from Great Lakes water service. Most enlighting tour. Thank you for the tour of this musumn, most instructive to say the lest.

I visited the Schoonmaker last June (2022) and I was thrilled (in a bittersweet way) to find out that from all the ships that survived the White Hurricane of 1913, the Schoonmaker is the last one.
The NMGL obtained the pilot house from the St. Mary's Challenger (another survivor), and the pilot house is scheduled to be restored soon.
(Edit: I did more searching, and I found 2 more 1913 survivors: the whaleback "Meteor," and the "Milwaukee Clipper." In fact, these last ships also survived the "Mataafa" Storm of 1905. Now THAT'S history!)
Thank you for the great tour. I was a Navy Chief Engineer; I recognized the post-WWII propulsion plant you so well documented. I checked it out and the ship was indeed re-engineered in 1955. A well-preserved combination piece of mid-20th century engineering combined with early 20th century shipbuilding technology.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that sign from the St Marys Challenger!!!!!!!!! she was a Cement Carrier from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I grew up seeing her weekly. she was renamed several times due to owner ship changes.
Intelligent commentary, no kids screaming, no housewives asking what a window is for... Excellent video. Means a lot to me as a Michigander living in Nebraska.
Understand your sentiment completely. I am a Michigander living in California.
I'd highly recommend going to see the Valley Camp in Sault St. Marie. She was built in 1917 and if I remember correctly, retains her coal fired boilers and triple expansion engines. Also, they turned her cargo holds in to a museum.
As far as I am concerned, when a museum ship is deemed to be not an attraction unto itself, and somebody decides to put a museum (or other stuff) INSIDE it, it drops several notches in my estimation of its worth as an attraction. I am much less likely to make a trip to see such a museum inside a ship, although I may still visit it if I am in the area.
I have been to both ships/museums. I think the Valley Camp was better. It had a nice Edmund Fitzgerald section among other things.
The Valley Camp has some of the vital finding's of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It is a very good museum ship to visit at the Soo, so please don't diss it.
@@youtuuba I understand your concern for it seeming like a gimmick or devaluing the ship, but I assure you it is done VERY well. In most of the museum you are walking on the steel plate of the bottom of the cargo hold. The upper deck, living quarters, and mechanical areas are all kept original.
A trip to "The Soo" is worthwhile for anyone interested in the maritime world. The valley Camp would be worth the trip by herself.
I'm in two minds over it. I went over to the USS Intrepid last year and, whilst that's a lot of museum, there's plenty of boat to wander around. I guess aircraft carriers have that advantage. The museum pieces can offer great context whilst the ship itself is a fascinating space to inhabit. It's a very case-by-case thing for me.
actually there is the maritime museum and william a irvin in Duluth Mn that you can tour, it's like this as well. you can also take a harbor cruise in duluth.
I summer on western lake Superior
M/V Dodge Buoy is my home
Bob, is your home port Duluth? I want to go there this summer, if I can afford to.
You can go to the park and watch the bridge operate and signal.
There's also one moored at sault st marie,the ss valley camp I believe
I was on vacation a few years back and I was in Sault Ste.Marie, Michigan. The name of the S.S.Valley Camp. This is a very popular tourist attraction in the Soo. The Soo Locks are located nearby the S.S.Valley Camp.
The life boats from the Fitzgerald are on display inside the valley camp.
One at Duluth and the Mackinaw at Mackinaw City.
The tug Edna G was at Silver Bay , Mn. Close to the lighthouse at Split Rock.
That Capstan Was Off The Barge Maida..My Grandfather Cpt James Alexander was The Master During the teens of the 19th Century Nice Tour !
If you follow the Maumee westward it runs into I75 were there is grain silos that ships come into port there
The St.Clair was not fare away. It was just towed to Port Colburn to be cut up for scrap after the fire that was aboard and damaged her be one repair during a scheduled lay up back in February of 2019. The St.Clair was a 762 Laker the fire caused over 150 million damages and the decision was to scrap her rather than fix her.
Interesting that the st clair power plant that the boat serviced often is being replaced by a gas plant soon.
Old Lake Freighters are so majestic. They don't make them as beautiful as they used to.
*Hell No*
I live in New Zealand and used to watch the old boats being cut up in Auckland. Once a steel ship came in and was razed, obviously very old, it had the graceful lines of a classic schooner. Such a waste.
@@charlesrussell1764 The Great Lakes are a force not to be underestimated.

Thanks for the tour. I wasn’t expecting all the wood paneling and nice interior decorations. I’m guessing the intact fine detailing and the unique “Texas Room” were key factors in saving her from the scrapyard.
Cant believe I watched the whole video ,very interesting. Thank you for sharing
This is so interesting and I didn't know that this museum existed, thanks for sharing this with the audience.
Wow this giant boat is absolutely amazing!love the woodwork the detail,the Texas room,wheel house pilot house its amazing!I'm obsessed with the Edmund Fitzgerald and Daniel J Morrell,the Anderson, Carl D Bradley all the classics !if that ship is that gigantic I could only imagine the size of Fitzgerald, titanic and some of these giant ocean oil vessels Maersk or the evergreen ship holy 1500+ foot...thanks for this documentation awesome
the Barker and its sister ship used to winter in Milwaukee, in the inner harbor., this was many years ago
So it is Monday March the eighth 2021, I am here in Tampa, when this came up on auto-play. I am from Toledo Ohio and love the Boyer. Thank you for letting me see it again!
I live in Iowa now , I Grew up on the west side of Toledo some 40 years ago . great city . too bad crack and bad policies killed it .
@@evilferret1453 I grew up on the west side too. It is sad what that city is now.
@@tamitami7396 I went to whitmer high , and lived off of lewis ave .
@@evilferret1453 I went to Sylvania Southview and lived off Sylvania Ave.
@@tamitami7396 I Lived in the Southend, went to Libby, then to Waite. I left after trying to press charges on a Detective who pulled his gun, caused an accident then left. The first report came up "missing" so after having to file a second one, his road cop buddies started pulling some Crazy stuff... Yes Toledo is a Hell hole of it's former self!
Thanks for the tour with my COPD. And asthma I wouldn’t have been able to get up the ramp
Not sure same size as Edmund FG but imagine something this big going down!!,WOW..
It's a shame none of the whalebacks were saved. I think the whalebacks were EXTREMELY ugly and weird but different.
There’s a whaleback used as a museum open for visitors in superior wi
@@tomglessing3748 I didn't know that. It's the last one left I guess isn't it.
I heard there is one more somewhere but don’t know for sure
Thanks for posting this, I worked on 2 of these carriers back in 1969. I was 17 yrs old and got the job because my dad worked at USS in Pittsburgh headquarters. Lots of kids whose father's worked for USS had the same opportunity.
This is not just history , it is a time capsule of our culture. I will be going down to sea again (ok fresh water) when I stop by this place summer 0f 2021 when things will hopefully be open.
Great tour! Thank you! I find myself in the Toledo area for business rather frequently (when there's no world-ending plague happening anyway). I'm adding this to my "to do" list.
OH yes!!!!
I went on her in 2018, I can’t wait to go again! I watched this video in VR and it was amazing. It was like I was there! Thank you very much for this video.
Great visit! I am glad to see how you had the presence of mind to include names, and to care about the pronunciations, which is always what other people miss. Good job and great subject!
We stopped at the museum in 2019. After touring the Schoonmaker (thanks for the revisit) we had a guided tour of the Tug. According to the docent, the tug served as a fire boat for a time. The crew quarters were located the bow. That was the area that was roped off.
Was on the Milwaukee Clipper back in the day and hope to take a ride on the Badger this summer.
Very nice tour. Thank you for posting.
The Schoonmaker looks like the same design as the Edomnd Ftitzgerald
Big Scott Games, based on what method of comparison? Both the Schoonmaker and the Fitzgerald were Great Lakes ore freighters, and as such necessarily had similar shapes. Both were built in the same yard, Great Lakes Engineering Works, so that might have resulted in additional subtle similarities. But the Schoonmaker was launched in 1911 and was around 600 feet long, while the Fitzgerald came much later in 1958, and she was 730 feet long. Different designs, certainly.
Edmund Fitzgerald
@@robertyoung3992 , what are you saying? Simply typing "Edmund Fitzgerald" by itself is meaningless.
Both straight deckers with a common general design 40 years between times there keeps were laid down.
Anyone else notice the big spider@ 13:15? lol
I didn't know that was there. Will have to go down and check it out. Thanks!
Great video! I was a career sailor. The first half of my career was a deep sea sailor and the second half a Great Lakes sailor (22 years total). The deck crane with the railing system was known as the "Iron Deckhand"...
Excellent Tour of the Ship and Tug boats! Also a great tour of the museum. I was particularly interested in the Lake Ontario section and the display of ships as I was raised in Oswego, Ny and remember the ship "Fontana" that we would see as kids coming into the harbor from Canada to unload coal for the "Diamond Match Factory" which is long since gone. We could see the bull dozer on top of the coal pile at the factory leveling out the coal delivered by the Fontana. Thank you for the Tour!
I visited the Freighter a few times originally was Col James M. Schoonmaker (1911-1972)
Willis B Boyer (1972-2011) and back to Col James M. Schoonmaker (2011-) per Wikipedia.
Nice ship museum. Thanks for sharing!
The loading facilities are called, pocket docks. Taconite is iron ore. The Fitzgerald was 729 feet long, so this one was big in its day. Yes that crane on deck is for removing the hatch covers. If you're ever in Marquette Michigan, when a boat comes in, you can watch this operation from the Presque Isle park.
where do they stack the hatch covers while loading? in between them on the deck I'm guessing?
Thanks so much for the tour. I’ve always been fascinated by the ore ships, but Auckland is such a long way from Ohio.
I live in Toledo bye but my family is from Auckland hello down there. My fellow kiwi
Very interesting. I can imagine being in a storm on that ship.
It would be a wild ride man.
15k tons of ore per trip. Anyone know what scale of economies makes it return its investment & make a profit? Somewhat analogous to the golden time on your car, after its paid off & is still functional as transportation. Planned obsolescence really undermines & ruins the useful life of so many devices. Wish tech would create enduring items that were replaced in a sustainable manner as safer more productive methodologies developed.
Nice Vlog thank You for creating.
The best museum tour video I've seen on youtube, thanks.
Thank you for the tour. I have always been fascinated by ships, but grew up and still live the Colorado mountains. Some day I'll make it to a port.
The museum video showed a lot of fascinating displays and varied topics of the Great Lakes. Well done of them. Thanks for the video.
Would love to see the Maritime Sailors Cathedral in Detroit, I hear the cargo holes have been turned into a chapel.
Sailed by her a number of times but never got ashore to see her.
That's called an iron Deckhand , it lifts the hatch covers, beats the hell out of 2× 12 wooden planks and covering them with canvas and wooden wedges on your hands and knees in a driving rain.

Okay , question..Maritime Sailors Cathedral is a Church in Detroit right ? I'm confused about the Cargo holes being turned into Chapel ? An I've heard the the theory that the Hatch Covers you speak of ,weren't completely battened down on the Fitz..That she took on water, along with a full load of Iron Ore, 20 some thousands tons more then she sat empty actually, sounds like a lot,but these Ships are designed for this right? Was this to much? Did it just sink? Break up? Or did it capsize from a rouge wave, which i guess won't be that crazy for Superior in November..? Shit blows my mind..My Dad worked at Lakefront Docks in Oregon Oh, just about 4 miles from the Museum..He also sailed the Lake Freighter's before this, an has been aboard the Fitz..My Uncle, Dad's brother, worked out there as well..Tom Edwards..Unfortunately, there was a crew member with the same name..A deckhand I believe..The phone rang at our house for a month it seemed..Just seeing what you think? since you sailed an all, thx
@@tonyedwards2064
Couldn't tell you a thing about the hatch covers on the Edmund Fitzgerald , are any thing about her
Can say taconite is what the song means by iron ore , just what the
Tonnage was she was carrying that I couldn't tell you either
What I can say is stone fills the holes , but taconite this whole lot
Heavier., the holds don't fill near as much , (bug dust ), coke. You near got to jump on the hatches to pack it down to close the hatches.
The Cathedral is an old lake ship they pulled up on shore , the parking lot goes right up to the ship.
Frist time I seen it it didn't register
With me , a friend had to point it out to me it's the only ship with its pun parking lot.
That is holds, the large areas between bulkheads in the middle of the ship where the cargo is placed. Taconite is iron oar peletized to about 1/2 inch balls mixed with clay for easy handling. The Fitz was carrying 26000 tonnes more than the ship weighed empty. They continued to add more cargo with each year service to make more $ per trip.
@@erbewayne6868
I wouldn't want to be over loaded with taconite , if the lake didn't get you the coast guard would.
Besides it's the yard that loads the holds not the old man.
I knew the cargo hold was big, but it's crazy to see.
Thought this was a great tour of the ship. Never realized what an ore ship looked like on board and "youtuuba", you nailed it. On the other hand, the museum tour felt rushed. As you pointed out, you should have allowed more time for it, In any event, thank youvery much for the wonderful ship tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it (as well as a number of your other walk-around tour videos).
Great tour... Thank You
crew size :29 ( source wikipedia ) 2nd that microwave at 8:51 looks too modern to have been used when she was still in service.she "retired"in 1980 .SHe has only been a "museum ship" since 2014
Thank you so much. As a kid, my folks took me on many tours like this on the west coast where I grew up. I learned a great many things by walking around and seeing for myself things I had had read about. I enjoyed this very much.
You had good parents.
Awesome tour all I could think of is the Edmund Fitzgerald. When you where in the wheel house. One theory is it nose dived down in the massive waves and did not rebound back and dove straight to the bottom. I was imagining that. I'm sure it took a bit to fill with water and the captain etc. Could helplessly look around for a bit like in a submarine before the end. Man what a way to go. I have alot of respect for the people that spend alot of time making there living aboard any vessel.
The Fitzgerald had a crew of 29. The 1000 footers today have a crew of 10. More technology= less manpower.
Thank you from the land Down Under. I'll probably never get to see anything like this is life, but the industry of the Great Lakes casually fascinates me, so thank you very much.
Subbed...your content is great and topic excuted loved it keep up great work
The oar was loaded into the boats from an oredock. I grew up in Ashland, WI and we had an oredock. They tore it down in the past few years. I used to love to fish off it.
Missed picking up a pasty in Ashland. Many years ago as we were coming east on us 2 passed the sign and by the time I got turned around, they must have sold out a took the sign down. Dissapointed!!!
Great tour of the ship and the museum. In case you weren't aware, the building was never meant to be a museum. It was originally built as a terminal to run Jet boats from Toledo to the casinos in Detroit. Unfortunately, the guys who came up with that idea didn't realize there were at least 3 railroad swing bridges plus the Craig lift bridge between the old steam plant and the open lake. In fact it's almost 9 miles out the channel to the Toledo Harbor light. The idea never took off and the building stood empty and unused for many years until the museum took over the building. I believe they added additional square footage for the museum.
Toledo had quite a reputation as a shipbuilding town back in the early 1900's. The Maumee River is still a port of call for lakers discharging grain upstream at the elevators.
Excellent job. I really enjoyed your tour. Im going to subscribe to see what else youre up too. Thanks again
God Bless the U.S.Merchant Marine
👏👏👏
Always make a fast get away from Toledo. Extremely high crime rate in that town.
Very cool! I would also kindly suggest looking into two museums in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, those being the Museum Ship Valley Camp in Sault Sainte Marie, and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point. The Valley Camp has the lifeboats from the Edmund Fitzgerald, as well as tons of information about the Great Lakes, on top of being another ore carrier like the Col. James M. Schoonmaker. And the Shipwreck Museum houses artifacts from other shipwrecks in the area, most notably the life rings, life preservers, and bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald. Both are fantastic places to check out and come highly recommended
@@insertnamehere313 with all due respect sir, it is. If you had read my whole comment, I stated that the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is in Whitefish Point, which is where the bell is housed
They have another ore boat museum in Duluth, MN. They also have a small museum in Canal Park that has lots of info on the Edmond Fitzgerald.
This stuff was not original--A ship built in 1911 was all steam powered--no diesel or electric motor driven props. None of the ships I sailed on during the early '40's had these conversions.
As was stated in the video, this ship was refitted with the current engines and propulsion system. So the original power plant was long ago removed. No secret there.
As for whether the ships YOU sailed on had power plant conversions, that has nothing to do with what happened to THIS ship.....she was, after all, the flagship of her line, and was special in many ways.
RE the ore carrier, interesting pattern for the steel grating in the engine room, quite artistic and unusual.
Solid tour. I enjoyed your casual narration style. Thank you.
This is a great video thanks for posting. Very interesting and informative.
IF you ever get to the UK, you really should do one of the Liverpool Maritime Museum. (I can't get to locations like that so easy these days regardless of Covid).
The last time I could visit Liverpool, a large part was devoted to The Battle of The Atlantic. I have wondered how much shipping came from The Lakes, to join convoys; to then cross the Atlantic?
I thought it was unusual to see the crew berths opening directly onto open deck areas as you showed. (BTW The sound was good).
Overall- an excellent series of videos, thanks again and all the best. Jack UK.
"Schoonmaker" is a Dutch name, and in fact it's also a Dutch word meaning "cleaner". I guess it's not a very fancy name from that perspective...
The tug boat looks like a work in progress
Is wally world still open in Ohio?
Thanks for the tour of the ship. It reminded me of a trip up to Sault Ste.Marie, Michigan back in 1999.I took a tour of the S.S.Valley Camp. The S.S.Valley Camp has sailed for the Republic Steel Corporation back in the early 1900's. I am not sure of full year. The S.S.Valley Camp was the first museum ship in the Sault Ste.Marie, Michigan area. The Soo Locks are located near the S.S.Valley Camp. Also, is the International Bridge to Sault Ste.Marie, Ontario.
nice video trip.
James Martinus Schoonmaker was a German American from Pennsylvania. Probably Pennsylvania Dutch.
The name Schoonmaker means in Dutch cleaner, or it might have been Schoenmaker, in Dutch a Shoemaker.
I live in Ohio and didn't know about this. Thank you
Thanks for the tour. Most interesting. I did circle Manhattan in a NYFD fire boat one time; that was totally cool. The Museum looks very inviting to visit. You are a good ambassador!
Same type of ship as the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, that sank in the 1970s in Lake Superior. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about the Fitzgerald. The Fitz was 728 feet long.
Jay Ceester Deester, it is the "same type" as the Edmund Fitzgerald only in that they are both lake ore carriers. Pretty different from each other in many ways.
729
1975
Thanks fr a great video tour!
my dad retired from p+c dock in conneaut ohio, he was a structural repairman and pipefitter .
James Barker has the best horn on the lakes, great video!
clodwolf Maybe the best in the world?
Live in the Toledo area. Used to visit the ship when it was still the Boyer. Took my son to the museum and did the ship tour two years ago, before they brought in the tug. One thing you did miss in the museum was one of the life rafts recovered from the Edmund Fitzgerald. You got so close but looked at the lighthouse stuff instead.
did they rename it or is it a different ship
@@richardfoos3122 they renamed her. I want to say 10 years ago. We were actually here visiting when the renaming ceremony took place. It was pretty cool to witness
@@darthdevious I still call her Boyer lol. I remember when they first brought her in to turn her into a museum. I didnt know they had a life raft from the Edmund Fitzgerald there. They get it from up north where they had one or did they recover it?
@@davidcope3304 I do not know where the raft came from, I was just shocked to see it there
@@darthdevious I bet lol. Ya the only liferaft I remember that was from the Fitzgerlad was up north in Sault Ste. Marie. Gonna have to take a look for myself but hate going downtown these days. To much road construction lol
Very cool. Navy sailor here.
Thank you for your tour. It was great 👍
thank you mr.youtuuba i just recently discovered your channel and i really enjoy watching all of them always informative and you deal with the crowds of people for me i can't do crowds very well the anxiety gets to me so i really appreciate what you do i went ahead and subscribed to your channel so keep them rolling thanks.
At the back of the boat you pointed out a concrete structure in the bank of the river. You called it a canal spill way. Actually it is a water intake for a electrical generating plant that was on the property. The Toledo Edison Acme Power generation plant Built in 1921.
Robert, yes, somebody else commented a few days ago that the site of this museum used to be an electric generating plant, and I then supposed that the 'canal spillway' I saw might have been left over from that.
Go to Long Beach california & tour the Queen Mary, transatlantic ocean liner commisioned in 1937, decommissioned in 1967. Spend Saturday night on board & you get half off on the Sunday brunch in the first class dining Salon, as they call it. My wife & I took 2 guided tour that they offered. Then once you get your room, you're free to wander where ever you want, just don't get caught. I never realized that you couldn't get from one class to another. Total segregation. When it was at the dock being loaded, either NY. Or England, the passengers were segregated right from the start, in the concourse. First class was on the top at street level. Second class one floor down, third class & steerage,two floors down. Then the entered doors on the side of the ship, that lined up with their level on the concorse. Inside the ship there were no stairs that connected them. There may have been some that the crew knew about.
Crawling into a bunk another man had just left, Naw!!!!, matter of fact, Hell No, at least not until all the sheets and pillow cases had been changed. "Hot Bunking" my rear end!!!! Not happening!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video, and also for sharing it with us all.

Cool video ! thoroughly enjoyed your tour of this museum, Your narration and camera work made for a very watchable video. I agree, two hours is not enough time to see it all. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
So appreciate your videos! Almost like being there.
I enjoy your video, because I get to visit places I would not normally not get to go. I'm not in liberty to travel anymore. Thank you so much.
An absolutely fascinating tour. John Denver was wrong when he said there’s nothing to do in Toledo
There are lots of things to see and do.
Harass the hookers.
Watch the bums piss on buildings.
Count how many junkies are lined up for methadone.
You could count bullet holes in the sides of homes. The folks living on corners have the most bullet holes.
You can count the number of shootings, stabbings and assaults that happen daily.
Thanks for the interesting tour.
On the Ohio tug Sperry is a repeater of gyro compass and this in brass housing is magnetic compass. Two smal balls on bith siudes are komoensators of ships own magnetic field.
Small world. I drove a truck for many years. The John Sherwin was moored on on the far south side of Chicago for part of that. I would always try to look over and see the ship from I-94. when I was headed east, I felt like he was wishing me safe travels. One the way back, i felt like he was welcoming me home.
Awesome Video...thanks for sharing. I can now say I have been all over freighter.
I must just saying, I always enjoy your walkabouts, so good job you're always intuitive, and informative so you please keep doing what you're doing I enjoy your Channel very much.
Wow! I need to go to Michigan! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’ll tell’em you sent me!
Where is it now used to be by the high level bridge
Steve from Annapolis Maryland I tilt my hat to you got my vote he's doing a really good job for 2 hours tour thanks for sharing that
When i worked on this ship my room was"up aft"😂😂😂⚓⚓⚓⚓
Great tour, but would have been better if you had gone into the corded off areas, so we could see. Especially the private deck with the tiny staircase off the Captains office.
