Great video, thanks for sharing, we turned around at the goat trail after the mining equipment because it was too steep and we were worried about the descent. hopefully we will be more experienced when we return to the Yukon to finish this hike. Thanks and stay safe
The bed in the cabin is a thwart ship not good in rough weather as you alternate standing on you head and your feet as the ship roles. For and aft bunks are best you can put your life jacket underneath the edge of the mattress to better secure your position against the role of the vessel. That said if this is a crew cabin it is far better than those found on old vessels, European cargo ships have far better crew accomodations the US and and other flag vessels. Thanks for the fine video.
I'm currently writing a paper on cargo ships, and video's like this are so incredibly insightful, so thanks for that! However I do have a questiion for you. I'm stuck on the amount of Decks on a vessel like this. I see decks A to G + the bridge. But I can't see the lower deck? can you tell me what the lower deck is called and what's in there? On the pictures I see something like "URF" deck or something? I'm guessing the engine room?
Hey, it's been some time and I don't remember exactly. I know lower deck is the engine room in one part of the ship, I know there's lots of doors and passages to go further around the ship on the lower deck but not sure about anything else beside the engine room. Sorry couldn't be more helpful, good luck with your research.
Thanks for this video, I don't know why it even popped up on my feed. I'm currently waiting to hear from a freightliner based in the northeast U.S. But my ticket I've already sent a deposit for is leaving from L.A. To Hong Kong. Sadly and super dissapointed it's been on hold now for like a year and half cause of Covid which I'm not even concerned in the least about. Anyways. Excellent video. I appreciated greatly just to get a look at what it would be like. . Much love and Merry Christmas. I love Germany!!
always wondered how far the bike path went when I first visited Fishermans dwarf, this video makes me wanna get out there to complete the journey. good stuff man.
Hey, I thanks for sharing this video. I enjoy it when I can use youtube in a practical way. By that I mean that I am searching for videos, and people which give me answers to everyday questions and things I wonder how I could go about doing. I am planning a trip to Maine, in July, together with my wife and our 2 dogs. I'm looking forward to a two week stay in Maine, a workshop, then I enjoy ideas about staying for 1 or 2 more weeks, before I want to be back on the cargo to Europe. I am looking for answers to the questions Where and how did you find that crossing with the freight ship? Are 1 or more dogs allowed on board? How spontaneous can such a booking be and since you say you were the only passenger on board is that always so? What are your experiences? Greetings
Hey, just google "Cargo / Freighter ship travel", there is a couple of agencies who sell different routes. You can travel all oceans. Usually you need to book well in advance as spots are very limited (4-6 passengers a ship maybe). Spots are mostly booked for around the world trips (or return trips), so doing just one leg as I did might be even harder to book, but it is possible. We were 3 passengers onboard, but the other 2 did the whole ship journey Europe-USA-Mexico-USA-Europe. Not sure about the dogs, but you can find answers on those travel agencies websites. Good luck :)
