- On Dec 9, 2020 the Algoma Intrepid ran aground in the Welland Canal at Port Colborne in stiff winds. It apparently struck another vessel prior to running aground. It almost hit the same vessel again while being pulled free.
Algoma Inttepid- I'll stir up some trouble

Nice video mate, greetings from Brazilian shipspotter.
Cool video. I remember when my husband told me about that. He was on the ship when it happened. He's a wheelsman.
Thanks. Umm....he wasn't the wheelsman at the helm when it ran aground was he ?
@@bobstaff419 no, he wasn't but it's not the other wheelsmans fault either. That first ship in line wasn't supposed to be there and so it had to run aground in order not to hit the other ship. I may not be explaining it correctly. My husband explained it but I suck at repeating. Lol.
They need some serious dredging in that canal, it will be to the point that no one will be able to transit with out being hard aground, yikes.
LOL nothing wrong with Canal depth, you just gotta keep the ship between the red and green channel markers.
Now this isn't confirmed, but apparently the captain asked to stay in the lock due to the wind, but was denied. And was blown across the canal, rubbing against that white ship as it headed for the east wall and got stuck. I don't recall it being that windy that day, and I certainly can't comment on the captains ability, but he was the only one aground that day.
I read on another site that earlier that month it had to be towed into another port. Maybe this ship just isn't as maneuverable as it was planned.
@@lighthouseaerialimaging7225 I would suggest either a steering failure or power.
@@lighthouseaerialimaging7225
Yea, they sure swapped paint. Noticed that right off
@@lighthouseaerialimaging7225 it was extremely windy in the small hours of the morning. With the Cuyahoga at wharf 17 and the very strong West winds, it was a bad morning.
So what do they do, cut the wheelhouse superstructures from ships and plant them in the ground to use as office or workshop space? Or do they bury the whole ship leaving the top sticking out? Lol
watch the video dip shit
@@BPB9973952 You cant fix stupid. Just laugh at them.
Why do Canadians like the unloader on the bow? Better vision? Put a sail up there as well so you can really get a good look.
lmao...
I'm sure that when they run aground its likely closer to dump their load on land. Just a guess though.
@@lighthouseaerialimaging7225 CORRECT. This is a very new ship and when they can be built with it on the front, they are in order to get better access to land. When they are converted, it’s on the aft. NOTHING TO DO WITH ONE COUNTRY OR ANOTHER.
@@Unclesmokey314 I thought it stupid. Hardly funny.
This ship was built in China and is one of the new most efficient breeds. I think keeping the unloading gear away from the accommodations is a great move.
