Back in the day and I remember when the Burns Harbor and the Stewart J.Cort were fleetmates and they were sailing for Bethlehem Steel,Great Lakes Steamship Division. They both had Bethlehem Steel Colors and I am glad that,they got to keep the same names and they are sailing in different company colors. They still look good in their young age. 8:00
Great video. I've seen this ship a couple times this past summer in Burns Harbor,IN. My son worked there for a few months and lives nearby. We were up your way watching the ore trains running to and from the docks. The Maritime and Railroad Museum up there are very interesting. I retired from a railroad that hauled Taconite trains into US Steel South Chicago when the Lakes were frozen over. The History of the Steel Industry and all it encompassed is really interesting. Tracking these ships is fun. I love the North Country.
Yes, there is a very long and interesting history on the lakes for iron ore hauling. It may not have been possible to win WWII without the steel production from the Great Lakes.
A truly menacing but this time, a quiet beast. The footers will always signal the massive surge in ore trades that was in the 1970's. I truly wonder how the future will be for them.
I used to think Michipicotin had the most serious head on look, but Burns Harbor takes the cake! Or maybe it's more of a business serious look for both ships, and less the look of intimidation.
It appears to be a dam to keep water from splashing onto the roof. They usually put that up during the winter to keep ice off of the roof, but it appears they kept it there year round.
Yes, it is tarp they place on the roof of the crows nest, plus up on the radar mount. Helps prevent ice buildup in the winter. I sailed on this boat in 90 and 97. They usually install them in the late fall
The 'simple' turns of the 1000 footers are the most impressive and amazing to see. Great camera work, editing and info as always - thank you.
Thanks as always for your support! 🙂

Sadly, I think the day will eventually come when the 1000-footers are no longer needed. Hopefully that is far down the road.

Beautiful piece. Any idea what the red object atop the forward observation shack is? Maybe the roof sprung a leak. Loved this one a lot.

I think it is something UA-cam has a problem with occasionally. Have had it happen to me in the past.
UA-cam is the one that keeps unsubscribing me but I don’t know why
