THANK YOU I LIVE IN FLORENCE, ITALY AND HAVE BEEN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS IN DULUTH.... AND IT WAS BACK IN 1974. SOMEHOW I REMEMBERED KIND OF A "FAMILIAR" SPOT.
So surprised to see a Great Lakes Freighter operating this late in the season. I would have assumed all the Great Lake Freighters where already laid up for the winter season. Great video none the less, very Erie looking but majestically beautiful at the same time.
Wow, that’s interesting. I always thought everything closed up by early December. Learn something new everyday. Thank you for letting me know this. I grew up around Lorain, Ohio in the late 60’s and 70’s. Back then the Port of Lorain was constantly busy with freighters everyday of the week. Not to mention that the Navy also had a ship building yard in Lorain at the time and some Lake Freighters where built there and repaired in the now closed up dry docks. US Steel was a huge user of these majestic ships. It’s why I fell in love with the Navvy and was so excited about my very first deployment. Even though it was to the Persian Gulf at the very start of this whole mess that we are still in today, I loved every minute of it. Deployed there 3 times. Still love watching the Freighters coming and going out of Cleveland and Lorain to this day. Even though it’s seldom they make Port Calls into Lorain hardly anymore but still every now and then one of them will come into port. A lot depends on if the Steele Mill is up and running or if it’s closed down. Suppose to be firing up again pretty soon, so, freighter traffic should pick up some. Anyways, thanks for the tidbit about the Soo Locks, I appreciate you sharing that information with me. Take care and be well.
This place, called Canal Park I think, is where I first saw Lake Superior. I was a truck driver, went to or through 43 states, Pacific to Atlantic, and nothing was as awesome as that lake, that giant inland freshwater ocean...
They have Port captions is if they aren't qualified. This is a laker a so probably not at issue. Most captains know the ports, but foreign ships get borded.

Please God, do not send me to Duluth, MN...ever!!! Please!!! That is a hellish cold up there!!! Gosh!!! Despite my prayer, the size of that ship is magnificent! Beautiful!!!
Nice drifting at 4.00 LOL. Now all you scientists out there correct me if I am wrong. Bodies of water hold temperature more consistently than air does so that diurnal temperatures (that is day/ night temperature change) of water can be less affected by falling temps at night than air temperature which cools rapidly. So, the 'steam' coming off the water is a result of the water temp being warmer than the air temp. so much so that the water vapour at the surface of the water is condensed in the frigid air forming the 'steam' in just the same way as fog forms on rivers at night as the air temperature drops. Anyway, the effect is all at once frigid and ghostly and alaricdogface has captured it perfectly. Well done.
Things I miss about living along the lakes: the ships, the lake, the beautiful ice formations.. Things I don't miss about living along the lakes: THAT COLD

It would be droll if some adversaries chased James Grider up on the bridge as it was going up. Then to kill the cops chasing him, James goes into the control module of the bridge and starts lowering it while the ship is still passing underneath. The lowering bridge cuts in half a clumsy cop chasing him. The superstructure crashes into the lowering bridge and the two things sort of get stuck together. James rolls onto the deck of the ship and from there he falls in the water. He has to swim to the barrier. I don't know if there is a way to get up on dry ground out of that water, but because the ship is all fucked up, it starts drifting sideways to the barrier and James has to somehow climb out of the way or swim out of the way of that long-ass fucking ship before its side slams against the retaining wall, crushing him between. Another thing that could be done is if the ice is thick enough, James Grider could be fighting some adversary on the ice while the ship is coming at them, breaking the ice apart. Why doesn't someone run out on the ice before the ship plowing through it or ride a snowmobile around the ship as it moves through the ice? People should buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon so I can afford a used car. Obviously I have such great imagination that I can look at this video and come up with all this shit for a nice action/adventure scenario. I wonder if a ship can be kept afloat despite a Titanic-sized rupture in its hull if enough ice crusts over the ship because ice floats. "Oh, no, if this ice melts, we sink." They need some kind of instant ice technology that you touch to the water pouring into the rupture and it freezes the breach shut.
Great Capture! - 3.6 million views for a ship video is extraordinary and the most that I've ever seen. One thousand, one hundred and thirty-five thumbs down is also extraordinary - what were these folks expecting to see and why were they disappointed?

For some reason this is rather... beautiful.
It is, as long as you watch inside a building with a nice warm furnace. 😁
I know this was uploaded 3 years ago but the thumbnail alone is an absolutely beautiful picture, let alone the amazing video.

Those days when the sea smoke is rolling in and an ice covered freighter is in the canal just makes the hard days of winter worth it. ☺

It gets insane in the summer.
Fun fact: it's only an hour max

That captain makes it look easy. Huge ship. Rite under the bridge.
They have very skilled captains.
They have Port captions is if they aren't qualified.
This is a laker a so probably not at issue. Most captains know the ports, but foreign ships get borded.
Ah the good life! I wish I could have worked on one of these beautiful ships.

You can see how much the metal shrank on those side panels. It's like you can see its ribs. Amazing!
Frozen ribs for supper!
The panels shrunk into the hull ? 😲😯😕
Now imagine that you're sitting on the water, having a beer, fishing, and you see this coming at you...

What a tough task to move a ship in frozen water. Indeed admirable job.

I recommend going in the summer, I went up there this winter though and it wasn’t that bad, but this is a really warm winter for us so.....
Movement of ship so smooth, not even small waves can be seen
The surface of the water is covered with ice. Very smooth.
