Exactly, I literally want to go do this, it would be extremely hard work learning everything from the keel up but what a great adventure and life experience at 53 years of age!
They do let civilians travel with them. Sometimes they travel without the full crew. I've seen you could rent an extra crew room. I'm ex-Navy and have no interest in a Cruise Ship. Now, I forget where I found this information, sorry. I've sailed many years on U.S. Aircraft Carriers. I'd like to go out to sea again.
Trust me, it's not nearly as romantic as this artful video would make it seem. I graduated from the US Merchant Marine Academy and sailed on ships for several years ages ago...it's fun to experience, but it's also a fairly tedious existence.
You used to be able to ride on these cargo ships essentially for next to nothing, they've done away with the super cheap option and now you have to fork over several thousand dollars to ride in one of these unless it's your job
@@BryanBoyle Just curious the cargo exchange at the last bit. I seen the German flag flying, however the cart at 22:58 is in dutch. Help me out there is it in Germany or the Netherlands.
The scene of the ship going into port where you see the German flag on the tug boat is shot in Bremerhaven, Germany. The actual cargo scenes though were filmed in Antwerp, Belgium and Holland. I had to do a mix of locations due to lighting conditions and my available time off work. Good eye for catching that!
@@BryanBoyle Thanks for response, and that explains it! Yeah I have an eye for detail and am native to the Netherlands (though i speak; German, English and dutch and a little bit of french) so its like puzzle pieces that look different to me. Anyway thanks for the tour I currently work in an IT company that deals with all forms of logistical forms including sea freight so you gave me the tour i wanted to see. thanks bud! And be safe out there!
Spent 33yrs. in the industry, started with U.S. LINES and this is about the best video I have seen. Keep up the great work Bryan! (Retired in 2006 with MAERSK/ SEALAND)
Want to know about Cargo Ship? Watch the latest video on my UA-cam channel, it is all about a huge Billion $ Ship. Do subscribe my channel SAILING STORIES because I am coming up with more interesting videos. ua-cam.com/video/z1h3aTtnJBw/v-deo.html
@@JCD275 IT wouldn't really transfer to anything shipboard because ships will get IT service when they come into port. BUT there are a ton of companies shoreside that support ships- there are radar technicians, engine-timing technicians, electric pump control techs, the list goes on. Every piece of equipment needs to get serviced at some point. These jobs are often based in a major port and the tech will go aboard each ship as needed. Or these could be travelling techs! Our fire detection system gets worked on by a team from Sweden that flies around to ports all over the world. There's also a lot of new software being developed because shipping is still kinda in the stone age. There's Radars, electronic map systems, cargo loading systems. It's a big field.
@@JCD275 but if you really want to work at sea there are 2 categories of jobs on ship that might appeal: 1. navigation/safety/cargo officer -lots of computers involved in navigation and cargo, but it's really just surface level use of premade software. 2. Engine operation and maintenance of all equipment on board (including A/C, sewage, fresh water systems, electrical) -this is very hands-on, wrench turning stuff. Daily projects might include replacing filters or gaskets. To get on ships there is a substantial certificate process involved that depends on your country. In the USA you need a merchant mariner certificate. And just for the entry level positions you have to take classes in basic safety, firefighting, emergency survival, etc. To become an officer will take 3-4 years at a maritime academy, or you can work your way up the ranks
VERY impressive! You have done a marvelous job panning the camera, accompanied with uplifting music, as you skillfully shed light on a modern-day perspective of maritime trade that which is deeply rooted in our collective, ancient, DNA past. Me thinks YOU ARE the unwitting spokesman for an industry all too often taken for granted! At 18:50; loved the fluid and artful angle of the containers suddenly becoming a mosaic against the ocean as you panned from up high…well done! Imagine an ancient mariner transported to “the now” to see all this! No one would believe such a fish story! Many thumbs up Bryan - continue to fling this door wide open - KUDOS!
Thank for such an amazing comment! This industry really is a mystery to most people and not much thought goes into how the products people buy everyday got to the stores in the first place. The silver lining to some of these maritime incidents like the Ever Given grounding in the Suez or the current supply chain issues is the mainstream media attention the maritime industry has gotten and some of the positive changes that may bring to the industry. It would be fascinating to see the perspective of an old school sail ship Mariner to see how much this industry has evolved. Thanks again!
The upper deck was so clean. I always thought cargo ships were dirty, rusty and with a thousand parts strewn all over the deck. Very impressed, excellent production. Eat your heart out Mayflower!
Thank you Bryan for your video. I sailed on Maersk Ohio for 7 years since we came from Maersk Vermont in 2006 and reflagged her until 2014 when I retired from sea. I was 4x8 watch with Chris all this time. I will always miss Ohio. You made my day.
wow, there must be a million things that could go wrong on that ship, all the working pieces. It’s actually a mastermind architectural masterpiece. this has nothing on the basics of a clock or even a plane
Very impressive. Such a big place. When going below deck to cargo hold almost felt the cold. Got a real feel of respect for workers on ships now. Appreciate the work it takes to bring exports in to our country. Takes special people that is for sure.
THANK YOU so very much! Thank you for the time and energy it took for you to both video the ship & upload it. Vids like this are especially wonderful for the disabled folks of the world (like me) to enjoy!!!
Same here! I used to dream about travelling on one of these ships, because I love the water but have no interest at all in cruise ships. But being disabled now, I know it would not be possible. This is a wonderful video which shows us every viewpoint! Very well done!💙🌅
This video is incredible! My jaw is on the floor! I knew there was a lot of stuff on these big ships but had no idea about the living conditions and just how massive it really is. What truly floored me is the crew size of 20-25 people. I imagined hundreds of people on board. You guys truly earn your paychecks!
I loved every second of this! I spent a lot of my childhood aboard cargo ships with my Dad who was a Marine Surveyor and watching this made me feel very emotional remembering the smell, sounds and magnificence of these ocean going marvels. Thanks for uploading 👍👏💕
Amazing the engineering and complexity of these sea going ships. The redundant pumps, generators and engines and management systems are amazing. Makes one appreciate the service these folks provide.
I signed up with the British Merchant Navy, back in 1967. I got my first ship shortly after, called SS Suevic, sailing under the Shaw Savill line. Unfortunately I met a young lady in Fiji in the early 70s so this put a stop to my career. Since that day to now ( 2022 ) I have thought of my time at sea. Oh to be young again. 😢
I've been watching cargo ship tour videos for months (for my university thesis project) and this one really is the best!! High resolution production and good filming techniques, not to mention thorough coverage of every aspect of the ship! Thank you for the video!
Thank you very much for the nice comment. I’m back onboard again for another couple trips. Let me know if there is anything of interest you’d like me to film!
@@jamesbutwithglasses Hi James, I was doing my Master of Architecture thesis at the time and I made a video for my thesis presentation. It's about repurposing a container ship as a new piece of urban fabric in the city. You can watch it on my channel :)
Wow - a rarity for UTube. Well photographed ( no shakes ), no loud "um-chaka" music, an explanation of what you are looking at. In other words a truly excellent video
As a young man I was working as a metal worker ( pipe fitting) in a European shipyard . The engine room is functional and clean ( the area I was mostly working in) . The whole " thing" is run by a few talented and capable young man, I'm very much impressed. Keep sanding more videos.
i do not know much about ships but keenly follow all categories of ships , their manufacturing, environment etc. This video is one of the best i have seen. crisp and to the point for informing what is where!
Just absolutely incredible! A vision to behold! I especially love the kitchen and mess. The color coding throughout the ship is like a perfectly fitted puzzle; not one piece is disorderly.
Great video. Our son is a USMMA cadet .... serving his second voyage with Maeresk on the same run. He did 3 round trips on the Iowa and is now on the Mafadi for another round trip. Your videos bring home the experiences he speaks of! Thanks.!!
Congrats on your son going to KP. I graduated from there in 2012 and am actually on the Maersk Iowa now. Did your son do the shipyard period on the Iowa?
@@BryanBoyle He was on the Iowa for his first sailing. November to end of February 2019/2020. Did 3 Round Trips. No layup. He did a RTW on a RORO this past fall for second sailing. -- Liberty Pride. He was home for 2 weeks... and was sent out on the Mafadi... doing the same RT to Europe. (Captain joked .. but was serious.... that he had more experience than the current third mate on the Mafadi). Your videos are great! I was able to tour thee Iowa in Houston.... during one of his turns. Class of 2022. Little over a year to go! Safe and following seas!
I live where I see cargo ships passing by on a daily basis. I've always wondered what they looked like inside. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. 😁🚢
This is an amazing video! Yesterday, I was stuck in traffic on the Bay Bridge in Oakland, CA where many cargo ships were lined up waiting to come into the port. I decided to look up what it's like to work on one, and am so glad I found your video! What a unique place to work.
Very well done video. No loud blaring music, no telling me what you ate for breakfast this morning. Just well done video.Amazing this operation goes on each day and no one gives it any thought. This is how all our "stuff" gets here.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the compliments of my work. It truly is incredible how most people take for granted how everything they use in life was shipped here from overseas.
What strikes me is how immaculate the whole ship. Everyone clearly takes great pride in their job and working environment. A lesson on how to live life to so many. Well done to you all!
Thanks for this. I spent 4 months at sea on that ship when i was 17 as a Deck Cadet. Now im 31 and it brings back lots of memories. I still remember all the rooms and little nooks and cranny's like it was yesterday. It looks exactly the same as it did back then.
Everyone always seems interested in the captain and driving the ship, but to me the Chief Engineer is more impressive. He not only has to know each piece of equipment, what it’s for, how it operates properly, and how to fix it if need be. That’s why he gets paid the same as the captain.
A big thank you to all those that risk their lives at sea to transport produce around the world. I spent 10 years hauling ISO Containers on and off wharves in Auckland, New Zealand and I must say it truly is amazing how the shipping industry operates and really keeps the whole world moving. We rely on ships and cargo for everyday living. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
JIMMY JAMES well said! I’m still blown away by the logistics involved in intermodal shipping snd how efficient they have become. This is a big part of the reason why we can buy many imported goods at stores like Walmart for so cheap!
This video is great. :) Just a desk jokey here, so it's fun to tour a world beyond the office walls. It's impressive how big these ships are. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Great video. It compares a lot with my stays on oil production platforms but nicer. Our cabins usually have 2 bunks on each side of a small room. No windows. The drone footage was amazing. I’d be so worried about loosing a drone to the sea. Yours got pretty far away.
Why did anyone thumbs down this? Do they have something against tours of a cargo ship? I never considered there was a hate group for that. So odd. I found this absolutely spectacular even having no interest in cargo ships. Even if I hated cargo ships I would still find no reason to dislike a video of one that was done this well.
Thank you for that superb tour of that ship. It’s massive and fascinating. Your presentation was orderly, pleasingly quiet, thorough, and entertaining. Great job!! 👍
Thanks for a really great video. Before becoming an airline pilot I spent 8 years at sea as a Navigating officer. This video brought it all back to me, even though it was 30 years ago. I could almost smell the engine room! I wished I'd served on such a modern, well maintained ship. I spent most of my time on older bulk carriers and chemical tankers. It was fun but 8 years was enough.
I loved all the scenes throughout the engine room. I was a machinist mate in the Navy, and many ship tours gloss over this space even though it has the most interesting parts! If you take a ship tour in person, most of the time the engine room is entirely off limits, and I'm left longing to crawl through the machinery and stick my head down into the bilge. Thanks for making this video.
Changed days To quote a safety poster from the 70's "The boiler room's an oily mess, Bright Spark himself could not care less, but fire mops up the oil for him, now his prospects are prity dim!"
I saw this post today, January 30, 2023 and enjoyed it. I never appreciated how vital the shipping industry is. Also you skills, training and commitment are extremely admirable. I have now have a great amount of respect you and your co-workers. Thank you is not enough. Be safe and stay well my friend.
Reminds me about when I was a kid around 12 years old and was onboard a Maersk oil tanker with my dad...and I took the elevator on the ship and while inside the elevator, the power of the ship went out as the gas turbine generator producing the electricity had a major malfunction right at that moment. I was then stuck in the elevator for about 2 hours with no light at all before a backup diesel generator came alive. I still remember it as if it was yesterday.
Awesome, just an awesome video! Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you. I was thinking that the computer I'm now using to watch this probably was shipped by one of these huge container ships. It's mind boggling what man can do.
Glad you enjoyed it Curt! Yes most likely it came on a container ship from Asia. As a matter of fact, most of the stuff in your home and the clothes you wear probably came in a container ship!
What a wonderful learning experience you gave me, in this video. I never dreamed just how complex these modern cargo ships are. You sir have done a AMAZING JOB in your efforts with this production. What I once thought were a bunch of metal boxes on top of a ship, is so, so much more. Thank You for a job Well Done!!!!!!
Had a chance to visit the Hyundai shipyard in 1998. What an amazing place. The stupendous size of everything dwarfs even the machinery in mining where I worked. If I had to do it all over again I might have liked this for a living. Thanks for the tour!
Really enjoyed the tour. By the way, some of those machines appeared to have been painted with glow-in-the-dark paint. Would make sense, in a full on power outage, below decks. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating, stumbled on this video quite by accident. I have watched a lot of crap just recently being stuck in on lockdown, but this was fantastic. No frills, access all areas...great ! You have restored my faith in UA-cam as a valid pastime during these difficult times :)
REALLY enjoyed this! Well done. First person perspective, just the right amount of music, info.,etc. I believe I would enjoy anything else that you do. Please do other subjects.
Excellent video! Panning is perfect, shots are great. Thank you for identifying each room, otherwise it's just a huge maze and would have no idea what I was looking at. Perfect music selections, some of it reminds me of Angels and Airwaves style music. Very well done video. Thank you for posting!
My family has a history of working on cargo ships(seafarers Union) and the generation above me has broke the tradition. I'm hoping I could go to trade school to work on ac and heating on these ships. So this video was very helpful for giving me a taste of my future
I really enjoyed this video! Years ago, my family and I got to tour a cargo ship here in Cleveland, Ohio. The ships name is The William G. Mather. It took a long time to tour it because there were so many people that were touring it like we were. The Dining Room was roped off but they had it set up for dining. There were plates, cups, glasses and silverware on the table. Some of the crew quarters were small. The engine room was massive and I remember the stairs being steep. I was afraid of falling down the stairs. I really liked that experience. Very good video!! Thanks for uploading it!!
I never want to go out to sea. But the sea and these giant cargo ships just fascinate me no end. Thank you so much. Show more next time, e.g., the galley. Bye, bye. Happy sailing.
I stumbled across one of your more recent videos and got really interested. I'm a retired truck driver, fisherman and small boater. I really like what you are doing here and am watching from the beginning. Keep up the good work. Don
The older I get, the more these virtual tours are making me want to drop what I'm doing now and get out there to experience it all firsthand.
I feel you
Exactly, I literally want to go do this, it would be extremely hard work learning everything from the keel up but what a great adventure and life experience at 53 years of age!
They do let civilians travel with them. Sometimes they travel without the full crew. I've seen you could rent an extra crew room. I'm ex-Navy and have no interest in a Cruise Ship. Now, I forget where I found this information, sorry. I've sailed many years on U.S. Aircraft Carriers. I'd like to go out to sea again.
Trust me, it's not nearly as romantic as this artful video would make it seem. I graduated from the US Merchant Marine Academy and sailed on ships for several years ages ago...it's fun to experience, but it's also a fairly tedious existence.
You used to be able to ride on these cargo ships essentially for next to nothing, they've done away with the super cheap option and now you have to fork over several thousand dollars to ride in one of these unless it's your job
First time seeing a cargo ship from inside

Finally, a Perfect, clear video that shows everything and is clear without loud music or excess talking! Thank you!! Awesome job!
Thanks Chris...glad you enjoyed it!
Great video👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing🌈
@@BryanBoyle Just curious the cargo exchange at the last bit. I seen the German flag flying, however the cart at 22:58 is in dutch. Help me out there is it in Germany or the Netherlands.
The scene of the ship going into port where you see the German flag on the tug boat is shot in Bremerhaven, Germany. The actual cargo scenes though were filmed in Antwerp, Belgium and Holland. I had to do a mix of locations due to lighting conditions and my available time off work. Good eye for catching that!
@@BryanBoyle Thanks for response, and that explains it! Yeah I have an eye for detail and am native to the Netherlands (though i speak; German, English and dutch and a little bit of french) so its like puzzle pieces that look different to me.
Anyway thanks for the tour I currently work in an IT company that deals with all forms of logistical forms including sea freight so you gave me the tour i wanted to see. thanks bud! And be safe out there!
Nothing is more relaxing then watching a good old documentary and with a nice cup of coffee. Much respect for these brave people who do this.

Oh no. Dirty, far from it. It's super clean. Even the engine room which uses 100s of liters of oil and lubricants is sparkling clean.
You thought a machine this massive would be dirty, rusty, and hazardous to walk around on? You didn't put much thought into it.

Wow, just wow! The combination of music with the drone shots is just out of this world! Can’t stop watching
A story beautifully told! Nothing else need be said.
Fascinating and very well done! I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about cargo ships. Thank you
Excellent video. We common people dont get to see these in our whole life time. You made it possible. Thanks 👌🙏
These Maersk ships are so impeccably clean it looks like you can eat off the floor
Clean ???? lol did you not watch it ????
@@dantheman3022 you obviously never seen ships from 1950-90’s. Nothing compared to the rust buckets from those days
@@willybbb999 same with factories -the factories of today look like operating rooms compared to the factories of even the 1970s
And at the age of 41 I finally see what the inside looks like. Very cool video, great camera work.
Hopefully, with some luck - in another 100 years there will be video tours of a starship. (If the US Military doesn’t already have some).
This is my favorite comment so far! I would love to be alive to see that
Everyone always seems interested in the captain and driving the ship, but to me the Chief Engineer is more impressive. He not only has to know each piece of equipment, what it’s for, how it operates properly, and how to fix it if need be. That’s why he gets paid the same as the captain.
A big thank you to all those that risk their lives at sea to transport produce around the world. I spent 10 years hauling ISO Containers on and off wharves in Auckland, New Zealand and I must say it truly is amazing how the shipping industry operates and really keeps the whole world moving. We rely on ships and cargo for everyday living. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
JIMMY JAMES well said! I’m still blown away by the logistics involved in intermodal shipping snd how efficient they have become. This is a big part of the reason why we can buy many imported goods at stores like Walmart for so cheap!
This video is great. :) Just a desk jokey here, so it's fun to tour a world beyond the office walls. It's impressive how big these ships are. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
5:35 the smile of the cook truly made my day
His name is Angel. He is an excellent cook and has a great attitude!
If you have a great cook. Then your crew will be happy and home every night
it made me smile at my screen lol. both this comment and the smile lol XD
Both of them are very healthy. Public at large will think all personnel on ship are like them
The two people you don't want to P.O is the guy who signs your paycheck and the COOK!
Great video. It compares a lot with my stays on oil production platforms but nicer. Our cabins usually have 2 bunks on each side of a small room. No windows. The drone footage was amazing. I’d be so worried about loosing a drone to the sea. Yours got pretty far away.
Why did anyone thumbs down this? Do they have something against tours of a cargo ship? I never considered there was a hate group for that. So odd. I found this absolutely spectacular even having no interest in cargo ships. Even if I hated cargo ships I would still find no reason to dislike a video of one that was done this well.
Thank you for that superb tour of that ship. It’s massive and fascinating. Your presentation was orderly, pleasingly quiet, thorough, and entertaining. Great job!! 👍
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks
Fascinating to watch gives the ordinary person a view of what it’s like on a container ship
Thanks for a really great video. Before becoming an airline pilot I spent 8 years at sea as a Navigating officer. This video brought it all back to me, even though it was 30 years ago. I could almost smell the engine room! I wished I'd served on such a modern, well maintained ship. I spent most of my time on older bulk carriers and chemical tankers. It was fun but 8 years was enough.
What airline are you or did you fly for? What made you switch from maritime to aviation? My father is an airline captain in the 737
I loved all the scenes throughout the engine room. I was a machinist mate in the Navy, and many ship tours gloss over this space even though it has the most interesting parts! If you take a ship tour in person, most of the time the engine room is entirely off limits, and I'm left longing to crawl through the machinery and stick my head down into the bilge. Thanks for making this video.
Wow! I really enjoyed watching this. I can’t believe how clean the ship is, even the engine room and boiler room.
Changed days To quote a safety poster from the 70's "The boiler room's an oily mess, Bright Spark himself could not care less, but fire mops up the oil for him, now his prospects are prity dim!"
I saw this post today, January 30, 2023 and enjoyed it. I never appreciated how vital the shipping industry is. Also you skills, training and commitment are extremely admirable. I have now have a great amount of respect you and your co-workers. Thank you is not enough. Be safe and stay well my friend.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. This is so cool and it’s something that many people will never see.
I was fascinated from start to finish!! I had amazing tour of the cargo ship. Thank you very much. Very immersive to watch.
Thank you :)
Reminds me about when I was a kid around 12 years old and was onboard a Maersk oil tanker with my dad...and I took the elevator on the ship and while inside the elevator, the power of the ship went out as the gas turbine generator producing the electricity had a major malfunction right at that moment. I was then stuck in the elevator for about 2 hours with no light at all before a backup diesel generator came alive. I still remember it as if it was yesterday.
I've sailed on a couple Maersk oil tankers, and NONE had elevators on them. Sure it was an oil tanker ?
Manuel Affonso Sure, it was a 330,000 ton oil tanker with the name Kristine Maersk built in the 70s ages ago.
Thanks for an interesting tour. Nothing like the old freighter I worked on in the 1960’s.
Absolutely fascinating Bryan. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
Sailing on a VLCC was my best experience so far.After spending my vacations now sea is calling me again
Awesome, just an awesome video! Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you. I was thinking that the computer I'm now using to watch this probably was shipped by one of these huge container ships. It's mind boggling what man can do.
Glad you enjoyed it Curt! Yes most likely it came on a container ship from Asia. As a matter of fact, most of the stuff in your home and the clothes you wear probably came in a container ship!
I enjoyed this video tour tremendously! Surprised to see so much not tied down tho.. love that it has wood and more, not just the metal ship
Wonderful video exploring so many areas on the ship. Thank you from someone who has never been to sea but was always fascinated by huge ships.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this to the world. 👍👍
What a wonderful learning experience you gave me, in this video. I never dreamed just how complex these modern cargo ships are. You sir have done a AMAZING JOB in your efforts with this production. What I once thought were a bunch of metal boxes on top of a ship, is so, so much more. Thank You for a job Well Done!!!!!!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad my video has changed your perspective on this industry!
Had a chance to visit the Hyundai shipyard in 1998. What an amazing place. The stupendous size of everything dwarfs even the machinery in mining where I worked. If I had to do it all over again I might have liked this for a living. Thanks for the tour!
I was at the Hyundai shipyard in 2012 (new build drill ship) amazing watching all those ships being built
Beautiful depiction and informative video of a large part of our commerce in the world that we often take for granted. Well done!
Thanks for your video from South Korea.30 years ago, I was the 3rd engineer in LNG Carrier.Good jobs
Really enjoyed the tour. By the way, some of those machines appeared to have been painted with glow-in-the-dark paint. Would make sense, in a full on power outage, below decks. Thanks for sharing.
I never seen anything like this, WoW! What a "Weight To Carry" ❤️🇺🇸
Ikr 😆lol 😆
Fascinating, stumbled on this video quite by accident. I have watched a lot of crap just recently being stuck in on lockdown, but this was fantastic. No frills, access all areas...great ! You have restored my faith in UA-cam as a valid pastime during these difficult times :)
Haha great comment! Glad I restored your faith in the UA-cam algorithm. Hope you enjoy some of my other content as well! -Bryan
I never knew cargo ship had this many facilities and luxury rooms
REALLY enjoyed this! Well done. First person perspective, just the right amount of music, info.,etc. I believe I would enjoy anything else that you do. Please do other subjects.
Thanks Pete! Glad you are enjoying my videos. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see more of?
Excellent video! Panning is perfect, shots are great. Thank you for identifying each room, otherwise it's just a huge maze and would have no idea what I was looking at. Perfect music selections, some of it reminds me of Angels and Airwaves style music. Very well done video. Thank you for posting!
My family has a history of working on cargo ships(seafarers Union) and the generation above me has broke the tradition. I'm hoping I could go to trade school to work on ac and heating on these ships. So this video was very helpful for giving me a taste of my future
Glad it offered you some insight into what your future career may look like. Best of luck with your endeavors
You should consider going to one of the academies
Terrific tour. Well done.
The best vessel tour I've ever seen!
I really enjoyed this video!
Years ago, my family and I got to tour a cargo ship here in Cleveland, Ohio.
The ships name is The William G. Mather.
It took a long time to tour it because there were so many people that were touring it like we were.
The Dining Room was roped off but they had it set up for dining.
There were plates, cups, glasses and silverware on the table.
Some of the crew quarters were small.
The engine room was massive and I remember the stairs being steep.
I was afraid of falling down the stairs.
I really liked that experience.
Very good video!!
Thanks for uploading it!!
The engineering, complexity and just years put in by this ship is what I found best. You can see 'time' in almost every shot. Great video 😀
I never want to go out to sea. But the sea and these giant cargo ships just fascinate me no end. Thank you so much. Show more next time, e.g., the galley. Bye, bye. Happy sailing.
This Cargo Ships and its crews are the forntliners of all the countries economy. Mabuhay to all Filipino seaferers.
I stumbled across one of your more recent videos and got really interested. I'm a retired truck driver, fisherman and small boater. I really like what you are doing here and am watching from the beginning. Keep up the good work. Don
This is some of the best music I've ever heard in a video like this. I watched the whole thing a second time just for the music.
david clark thanks! Glad you enjoyed the soundtrack
