This,..right here is what I love about UA-cam. I can follow and watch wonderful video's such as this one and all those connected to this one for free and I can vicariously live through others. I will Never have the opportunity that this crew with their Fleming Trawler have,..but because of their generosity,..I can enjoy the trips as if I am a guest on one of their sojourns. Thank you,.;)
Brings back some memories I have from 69 as a young seaman. We sailed from Europe to Quebec and Montreal. Unload cargo and from there, we sailed to Nova Scotia to pick up pulp wood and then back to Europe. Would love to be able to do it all over again.
Absolutely mind blowing to experience the sea way through the narrative and imagery of this video! Thank you very much was a fun informative and enlightening armchair excursion! It's our next destination!
THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL AND AMAZING TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY I HAVE EVER SEEN!. THANK YOU. - I watch all your Venture Boats trips (Aleutians, Alaska, British Columbia, Europe, Ireland, England, California, Idaho, New York). All videos are properly edited and perfectly presented. All landscapes, scenes, nature, blue sky, grey sky, deep blue sea make me feel so good. I enjoy watching all your videos (on my 72" flat screen TV - SONY) all time, every weekend from my home in Los Angeles. Even though I am not fortunate like you to circumnavigate the globe and travel on own boat, your sea journey and wonderful voyage videos have brought many delights and good feeling to me. We all ordinary people are grateful to you (Gratitude) for your generous and wonderful presentations. Thank you.
Thanks for this great video. At the Saint-Lambert locks there is one road and one rail line crossing the canal. There are dozens of trains and tens of thousands of cars commuting to a Montréal every day. There are two bridges, train and car, before the locks and two more after the locks arranged in such a manner that a freighter can use the locks without interferring with the land traffic.
The current locks in the St Lawrence River were completed in 1959 but there were locks before then. During WWII ships traveled from the Great Lakes with munitions etc and went to Halifax where the cargo was transferred to ships going to England.
These ships or barges were barely seaworthy for transit to Halifax and the cargoes were actually transferred to sea going ships in Montreal. All one has to do is look at the current locks on the lachine canal to see how small the ships of the time actually were.
@@rongoesCDN My father was a sailor on the Great Lakes and he started in the 1930s. I have photos of the ships from those days. I have proof that the ships went to Halifax. All you have is your ill informed opinion. They were NOT barges. Not only is your comment uniformed, it is offensive.
The old Lachine and Soulange canals carried that traffic. Many escort warships were also built on the Great Lakes during WWII and they made their way to the battle down those canals. The canals were too small for post-war commercial traffic, hece the Seaway.
The trash bag on your fender is fairly ingenious. The floating Bollards are all ive ever known in Tn. Locks. Near Nashville, old Hickory lock, due to lack of much commercial traffic. Its end of line on Cumberland, is very small and has a drop of about 30' it is almost dark when lowered to the bottom. You've been many places, I will look for your boat someday in our area. Lots of nice cruising.
The ''extremely helpful & friendly'' people that you met are in Qc . It feels good to hear this because usually the ROC ( rest of Cdn ) likes to do Québec bashing . French Canada as you said may be another province .
Actually, the second bridge at St Lambert is part of the total Victoria bridge complex. Normally train and car traffic stays on the straightest portions of the liftbridge sections. When a ship approaches from the ocean; car and train traffic is diverted to the upstream bridge and the ship is admitted to the lock. As the ship gets raised in the lock; surface traffic is diverted back to the direct bridge and the upstream lift bridge gets raised to allow the ship to continue into the Seaway. The reverse happens downstream except that the downbound ship gets immediate access to the lock.
You mention a " Laker " in the video. I believe a " Laker " would be any bulk freighter which is confined to the upper Great Lakes due to the fact that the Welland canal can only transit ships below 750 feet in length. Hence a " Laker " would be any bulk freighter over 750 feet in length which would be unable to transit downbound from lake Erie. Excellent videos by the way. I have enjoyed watching all your well filmed, and narrated videos.
A laker is any cargo ship that primarily travels in the Great Lakes. It does not have to be a bulk freighter although today most of them are. Foreign ocean going ships are called salties.
CORRECTION the ship mentioned is not purpose built for the lakes (a laker) it is rather a deep sea ship......lakers have the bridge(navigation area) built at the front of the ship..they are unmissable....HOW DO I KNOW....I AM AN EX MERCHANT UK SEAMAN...i passed through this area at least 40 times
+ronald taylor A " Laker " simply means the ship is unable to pass through the Welland canal due to its size. As such it is confined to the upper great lakes... A Laker. Disclaimer. I am not an ex Merchant Seamen, Naval navigator, nor have I traversed this path 40 times. :)

The great beautiful province of Quebec, well done, thank you for posting.

What a delightful snapshot of Quebec and another of your so pleasant journeys. Gracias!
Great music choice. Excellent production. Just like the boat!
I enjoy watching all of your videos. I could watch them over and over and over, and I often do! Your adventures look like such fun.

Terrific video, I wish I had been with you to see it in person.

Thanks for sharing. I live in Ontario and I don't even understand the seaway. I get it now.
Nice to see St Lawrence river. Thanks.

Badass. It would be awesome to sail from New York to Duluth Minnesota.

Correct. The ship at 1:30 is a saltie
