    My Dad worked on frieghters on the Great Lakes from 1937 until the attack on Pearl Harbor. Then, of course, he joined the Navy. He was born in 1920. He once told me if he slept at the right time he wouldn't see land for four days on the lakes.
    I grew up in Michigan but now reside on the Gulf Coast, I'm still around big water. One thing that I've noticed about people from other parts of the Country is they have NO IDEA just how massive the Great Lakes are. My Wife's first reaction was priceless. She kept calling Lake Michigan an ocean. I could see the "HOLY CRAP" look on her face. I beam with pride when someone visits Michigan for the first time and comes back to tell me about their trip.

I have linked these videos below for you. These documentaries tell the whole story of Duluth’s beginning and shipping industry, it’s absolutely fascinating with the photos and videos.

    The bridge to ship salutes never gets old!

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  7 місяців тому +4

      They never get old. You are so right. Here’s some more information about those salutes if people want to know. There have been a few questions about the boat and bridge signal horns when the boats are entering and leaving the Port of Duluth. In most cases, once radio communication with the bridge has been established, use of the boat and bridge sound signals are not necessary and operation of the sound signals is left up to the captains. Often, boats will not use the loud horns after dark as a courtesy to city residents. So, most often when you hear the customary whistle/horn-blowing sequence of "long-short-short" it is a friendly salute to the Port of Duluth from the ship captain and is responded to by the lift bridge operator with the same sequence. The Master Salute is an upgraded more formal whistle/horn salute. That is “long-long-long-short-short.” While the famous sound may be a courtesy, it has long been part of the nautical tradition of this great inland sea port.

      @@vibewithmike My family has been going there since Canal Park was a mostly-unused gravel lot. My great-grandparents were from Minneapolis and used to spend weekends on the shore whenever they could. My grandparents got to where they could look at a ship far out in the lake and tell if it was headed to Silver Bay, Two Harbors, or Duluth. Then they'd "race it in," no matter what time of the day or night.
      My first visit was as a young child in 1992, and I've probably been back 15-20 times since then (now bringing my own kids with -- the fifth generation in my family to call it "our place.") I kind of miss the shore the way it used to be, with the fishing shanties and all the Mom 'n' Pop cabin rentals. But it's great to see more people getting there to enjoy it too. It's more fun to watch my kids enjoy the big ships coming in than to watch them myself!

      The ships are really fun, but I absolutely love finding the unique things to look at while we are looking at them, while not noticing them. If that all makes sense? 😂😂 An example, not many people look down and notice the reflection inside of a puddle, but I love seeing the reflection of something cool providing a new perspective. Looking at the bridge in the reflection of a puddle is something that not everybody thinks about doing, but it’s cool when you see it. Another thing is looking at the shadow from the bridge on a ship. How many people think about that shadow? However, I think it’s cool to see the bridge outline from the shadow on a ship passing under. You also see other things I like capturing birds, sand, etc. I just have a lot of fun trying to make it interesting and covering some of the art things I like as well in a ship video. I hope you are doing well. I know it’s late there in Italy, I appreciate you taking time out of your evening to drop a comment and mentioned the artistic part of the videos.

I grew up in Port Colborne, Ontario in the 70's and 80's and some of my strongest childhood memories are of watching those massive lakers sail through on the Welland Canal (Lake Erie & Lake Ontario transit). When some of the ocean going vessels would pass through the sailors would throw down coins from their home countries to us kids standing along the canal wall. Good times.

    Fun video!! Growing up in Michigan we used to watch the ships all day from our home on lake Michigan. Sometimes we would drive to the Soo and watch them go through the Locks. They always seem so big. Now i live in Tacoma, WA. We get the Ocean freighters in and out of the South Sound, as well as a regular stream of container ships going in and out of the Bay. I see ships like this every day now... and it always kinda reminds me of growing up in the great lakes.

    The most common bow of our old lakers is the axe bow, made for cutting through waves and higher speeds. The bulbous bow is used where the ship maintains a cruisibg speed for long distances and decreases fuel consumption. TheGott hasneuther an axe or bulbous bow seems to have the plumb bow. Maritime terms are so interesting as well as their explanations. Just another bit of trivia..Park Point beach was voted one of the top 3 beaches in the USA, very impressive since its size is not.

I’ve never been to Minnesota or have seen the Great Lakes but I did fly over once when I was a kid. I was going from CA to Indiana to visit family and I had a connecting flight out of Chicago. As a kid I saw the Great Lakes on a map and didn’t realize just how huge they are until I flew over them! I’ve seen these huge ships off the coast of CA where I live but never this close up.

After watching this video I got curious to see where the rivers run from the Great Lakes so I looked on Google earth and tried to see where and how far the rivers go. Are any of the rivers deep enough that a ship like this could go out to sea? I bet seeing these ships in person is much grander than what I’m seeing in your videos. Pictures never do justice even so, they look massive on video.

Start at Duluth and end at Nova Scotia. Follow that line. That’s the path the ships take to get to the Atlantic Ocean or from the Atlantic to Duluth.

    Nice vid. As a kid, we would vacation at my aunt & ancle's house on the shore of Lake Huron at the mouth of the St. Clair river, just north of the Blue Water Bridge. For a 9-year-old boy, those ships were the high point of every trip...and they were so much bigger back then. :) Thanks for the memories.

      Thank you so much for taking time out of your Wednesday my friend. I love your story, this comment is great. My love started for the ships when my parents brought me to Duluth when I was a young boy as well. I’ll tell you this, the nine-year-old boy probably comes out and you just like it does for me when I see these ships. I absolutely love them. I hope you subscribe (it’s free) and come back to my channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️

      I was thinking the exact same thing when he mentioned the iron ore. The poor Edmund Fitzgerald.

      That was a very bad storm that Fitzgerald encountered

    Fantastic video! Really captures the essence of life in the area, and massiveness of these ships! Well done!

    Lived in Duluth for 17 years, graduated from Central High school, I loved watching the ships come and go! Worked at the Army Reserve center on park point, always would get bridged at the most inopportune times!
