The Biggest Ship On The Great Lakes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- The Paul R. Tregurtha is a 1013 foot freighter hauling taconite iron ore from Minnesota's Iron Range. Here it is leaving out of Duluth's Harbor at Canal Park. The Aerial Lift Bridge was built so Duluth residents living on Park Point peninsula could cross into Canal Park. The bridge lifts to allow Fishing and Sailboats access to Lake Superior from Duluth Harbor. There could be up to a 30 minute wait during times when large ships pass through.
The horn no joke gave me goosebumps and even my 2 yr old and 4 yr old came over to check it out. I love that they still salute. Thank you
The ship blowing its horn AFTER it is under the bridge, and the return signal horn from the bridge, is a customary salute between the ship captain and bridge engineer.
Actually you don't have a clue what this signal means do you!?
@@bnsrks3326 ,lived in Duluth all my life and it's just a salute.
@@bnsrks3326 I know this is an old comment, but tri 5ford is completely correct, and it's not just Duluth either, many ships salute (1 Long 2 Short Captains Salute, and 3 Long 2 Short Masters Salute) all over the Great Lakes. St. Marys River, Superior, Two Harbors, St. Clair River, Detroit River, and many other places. It's been a Great Lakes tradition for many years, for as long as whistles have been on lake ships I'd imagine. And basic research can even confirm this, please don't go around assuming things. The Great Lakes has a completely different tradition than the rest of the world of shipping. I hope this info is useful.
Interesting side note. If that ship the Paul R. Tregurtha had its bow on the bottom of the lake straight down where the wreckage of the Edmond Fitzgerald is, 300 feet of the stern would still be out of the water. And no part of the Duluth city is higher than altitude than the ship is long. The Duluth hill is not higher than 1,600 feet above sea level.
Man, that is a big ship!!
Thank you Ole buddy for raising her up! Your welcome Capt!
Because the captain use to get on the radio and say hey bridge ...thanks for the open have a great day/night....but it got to where the boat traffic got to be to heavy......so the freighters just shorten it to just blast the horn and that’s where it started...it’s a lot quicker...and does the exact same
Great video! I'd love to see the Tregurtha in person someday.
The salute is just meant as a Thank You. It's no longer used as a proper signal anymore simply because it's more efficient now to use radio
Always a spectacle seeing these huge bulk carriers up close, Nice share!
Damn, that thing can be in two time zones at the same time it's so huge
On my bucket list for visiting the Great Lakes......she is a BIG girl!!
Staying on Drummond Island this week, right across from De Tour MI. Saw her pass early in the morning yesterday. Beautiful.
Grace Merlin just got back from the island. Love it there
We just consider it as a ...thank you for opening the Bridge have a nice day
that's a short salute - one long, two shorts. Nothing about going under the bridge. One of my best friends was first mate and relief captain on the Tregurtha.
Great video,thanks
taconite is also taken from mines at Marquette, Michigan, smaller vessels of course.
Enjoyed that very much! Thank you.
was on the ship couple weeks ago. doing repair while laid up for winter in superior wi.
I've seen Tregurtha in person when she goes under this magnificent piece of engineering, intimidating but also awe inspiring and a great pleasure!
Towboats pushing barges on the Mississippi & Ohio rivers can be pushing tows approaching 1200' x 105',the limit being the 1200' x 110' wide lock chambers.
According to google, the length of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, for comparison to the Tregurtha, is: Overall: 1,092 feet (332.8 m); Waterline: 1,040 feet (317.0 m) So the Tregurtha is only 79 feet shorter than an aircraft carrier, but I don't think I'd want to try and land a plane on her.
Ford CVN-78 is 1106 feet long 93' longer.
Beautiful
great videos, I am longing one day to return to the Welland canal system, when I decide that Michael I will let you know....
Qual é o maior, o American century, o James E Baker ou esse aí do vídeo? Alguém sabe?
I remember going to Duluth and seeing big ships like that on Lake Superior
I went to Duluth once and it was closed and i never went back.Wahahahaha.
Great video
Duluth is a very cool city, Get through the winters with Bulldog Hockey. And beer.
And skiing,& skating& snowmobiling & fat tire biking.
i'd love a horn like that for my car to punish imbecile drivers.
..you would be arrested for murder..even moron drivers get heart attacks..
Train horn on a car

sküll düggery
Punished?
To have an cardiac Attack.😬
..just saw her (the Paul R. Tregurtha) online passing thru the Soo Locks via Marine Traffic website and the Sault Ste Marie Live Skycam..
Have you ever heard of wind screens for microphones???
The Paul R. Tregurtha @ 1013 feet fits in lock 8 which is 1143 if i remember correctly but can it turn around in the bay to go back to the lock that goes in lake Erie?
She uses the Poe Lock in Sault St. Marie. That lock is 1200 feet and the only lock that can accomodate the 1000' foot lakers.
I see geese flying by and I heard them honking well not like the freighter ship named Paul R Tregurtha because their horn sound similar to the geese.
That horn puts my semi truck to shame
man thats fkn big ! the bow gets there 20 min before the capt. does haha
""""""": So long so big....What carrier it is...and where it is......??? Nice videu...// love from India.....,,,,,,,,
Could use that horn at trudeaus private residence.
Should be named: Get a load of me.
Gota love that obnoxious wind noise.
It keeps down the traffic on the radio...is why it is done
seems weird they built such a big ship that's stuck in lake superior hauling ore in which no steelmills are on superior?and the Mills here in North America are slowly dying anyways to over and above competitive markets overseas I'm not new to ships or the great Lakes but am confused do they unload at rail terminals? ?Hamilton detroit and pitsburgh are the steel towns far away from anywhere in Lake Superior
neil maccannell they hall grain and petroleum to
I went on a soo lock tour and there is multiple steel mills along Canada,there was one with a Canadian taker loading and a American ship unloading
You know nothing so stop trying to impress. These ships travel all over Lakes Superior,Huron, Michigan & Erie. They do not fit through the Welland Canal on Lake Ontario. They deliver different cargo. They do fit through the lock system at Soo, Michigan. Study your facts & geography,please.
Not even this can beat the Edmund Fitzgerald
The ducks got so scared they soiled themselves
All hail the queen of the Inland Sea!
Summer load line
The tower of the boat?
Where & how was it filmed ?
WOW THAT IS CLOSE
Has that ship been to the open sea ?
got wind?????
It is registered in Delaware a place it could not have ever been to
Cannot hear from the wind on your microphone.
Get a wind filter! So cheap and easy.
We're ist this?Soo big.😳
Greetings from Switzerland
That's just a baby. My 21' boat was bigger than that.
I like the steward j cort
It's cooler
LONGEST ship, not largest. There are at least four 1,000 footers with 20% more tonnage capacity then the Paul R.
Lakesuperperior.
one time I almost fell over it was so loud the horn HONNNNNNNNK!!!!!
Best way to avoid that is get ear plugs.
Dude...wind is bad..
What cargo does this ship carry.
as per description "taconite iron ore", but she has been Out of Service since January 1, 2018
According to Vesselfinder, she departed Duluth last Saturday and is currently in the middle of Lake Superior!
Nice Bass boat lol
i wonder if they use a depth finder.... "let's see, boys. right now we are crusin' at...3 feet".
that's some nasty audio pal nice boat though.
sheesh get a wind sock for your microphone!
This isn't just the largest ship on the Great Lakes, it's actually the largest object in the solar system, it's over ten billion light years tall, ten billion light years long and 400 billion light years wide. Truly a magnificent ship, you could put well over a million Earths in it and it would still float on lake superior, and in fact they have!
Fun fact, the ship in this video is actually so massive that there are entire galaxies inside it's hold that haven't even been observed by mankind, that's how big this ship is. And yet as you can see it still floats! Scientists believe that God himself lives within the hull of this ship. Not bad for a ship built by a bunch of drunken immigrants over a HUNDRED days ago!
Haanken Thorax dumbass
Are you saying this is a new model TARDIS?
It's not a ship it's a boat. Only salties are ships.
Where is the iron ore headed? To be transferred to an ocean going ship to China?
Nope trump is making that shit stop . Fuck China
@@transampete79 ,yeah, we don't want customers for our US produced ore.
The Paul R. Tregurtha usually takes ore to the many ports on Lake Erie, and Lake Michigan. The ship also commonly delivers coal to St. Clair, MI.
I wish the mic noice better. Jerome.
WIND SOCK.......
😍😍
It doesn't really seem all that big of a ship. I thought there were ships bigger than this lol i swear ive seen a few out on lake st clair that were SUPER long. Seen from a distance of like a mile away.....it looked like it was longer than this one.
The Tregurtha is currently, and always has been the largest ship to ever sail on the Great Lakes (Excluding the St. Laurence Seaway). With that being said, you are actually correct, there are many ships in existence that are much larger than the Tregurtha, but they don't enter the Great Lakes, mainly because ships larger than 800 feet can't fit through the locks on the Welland Canal, which also means the thirteen 1000 footers currently sailing on the Great Lakes can't go farther than Lake Erie.
The wind destroys the video. Next video.
thats nothing compared to the jahre viking
You must have been in a boat, the camera never stops bouncing
1 word..tripod
Second words, dead cat. Can't decide which is worse, the shaking or wind noise.
Hey there, any of you heard of the flat earth movement? Anyone interested in debunking it once and for all? I’ve designed an experiment that should do just that, I just don’t live anywhere near enough to water (350 miles), and work 6 days a week. Nor do I have the extra money to spare. But I figured for those that are on the water already during a lot of their spare time, and especially those that already shoot videos while out on the water may have nothing to lose in doing this if you’re interested in the premise. You would need two people, two boats, both with GPS, two good telescopes, and preferably two of the best video cameras that money can buy, or four would be even better, and two of the best still frame cameras that money can buy. I’m sure that’s a bit to ask for, but the better the focus and resolution the better. Flat earthers obviously believe that there is no curvature of earth, so they constantly argue that boats do not disappear over the horizon. They use all sorts of arguments like heat distortion, tide, swells, poor camera resolution, etcetera. So my goal is to present to them a video that they can’t argue with. Keep the video on your channel for the views and I’ll post links. So here’s what it entails:
You and a buddy go out on 2 boats on any large enough body of water (I think with at least 10 miles clear line of sight oughta do it) with GPS on a clear day with a temperature significantly low enough to take heat distortion out of the equation. Make sure it is a calm day to take swells out of the equation. Make sure it's low tide to keep that out of the equation too. Determine how many feet above sea level you would be looking through the telescopes at, and also how many feet above sea level the tallest part of the boats are. Reply to this comment and let me know these heights and I can figure out all of the numbers we need. You can look up the distance to the horizon at telescope viewing height above sea level and also for the tallest part of the boat (if it's taller than the telescope viewing height). Google “earth curvature calculator” to determine the distance to the horizon at a given height above sea level. The distance to the horizon at 6 feet above sea level is supposed to be 3 miles so let's use that as an example. Both of you drive out to open sea and using the GPS get yourselves 3 miles apart. We will figure out the exact numbers we need prior. View each other’s boats through the telescope. If earth is round it should look as though the other boat is sitting on top of the horizon. Take many pictures and video and also video of the GPS proving the distance between the boats. After you observe your findings now go twice the distance to the horizon for the height of the tallest point on the boat. If the earth is round you shouldn't be able to see the other boat anymore. If the earth is flat you should be able to see it same as before but just twice as far away. If you observed that the boat disappeared over the horizon, now drive towards each other and watch and film each other appear over the horizon. Film every aspect of this endeavor and be sure to use the camera at the heights used in the calculations. Also, footage of the GPS showing the distance between the boats in real time shown on split screen would be great. If anyone is interested, reply and let me know. Before you plan to do this, it would be great if you could send me the height of the tallest point on both of the boats above the water, and the height your eyes would be above the water where you would be holding a camera and looking through a telescope on both boats as well. I know this is a lot, but it will be worth it if you’re as disturbed by the flat earth movement as I am.
We clearly see the sun is round, the moon is round also, earth is round.
Why in God's name don't you people with video cameras get yourselves a wind screen for the audio? It's really, stupidly, annoying to try to listen to commentary only to have it lost by wind noise.
I agree! Or just do as I have done, purchase a $17 dollar microphone with a fuzzy thingy that goes onto it and it muffles 70% of the wind. I'm sure they make them cheap for phones too.
