2018-10-24 Two Ships Arrive At Duluth Lift Bridge 

It was great to see the two boats come in from so far out + the videoing from the far end of Canal Walk. Thank you!

Enjoyed the video. Been there several times over the years. As a kid I took a tour boat around the harbor way before the area around the bridge was cleaned up. Was back three years ago. It really looks nice now. My mom lived on the island when she was going to business school quite a few years ago. Her family was from Cloquet.

Nice video good thing that there is no music only voice of ships and their horns

Nice video of them. No salute from the last one?

What’s the maritime architectural history behind the placement of the pilot house? I can imagine it was always at the stern because that’s where the rudder is, but when did they first build a ship where the captain had the best view of what’s coming? Are there any other advantages? Are the crew quarters quieter up front, for example?

It seems like the way they're built now if one nosedives there is still time to abandon ship

Great vlog, thanks for sharing.

What camera/phone was used to record this ?

nicely done! Thank you

Why. Is. There. Never. 4. Horn. Blasts

The Michipicoten must have had laryngitis 😁

What no salute?

I wonder which is louder; ship horn or train horn? I'm gonna look that up! Thanks for the short version. How long were you there taking this video? The bridge operation seemed very smooth.

Beautiful very well done

The turbo charger on those motors got to be as big as a washing machine

Filming them coming in from way out there A+. That's the creepiest thing I ever saw.

Why didnt the Michipicoten not sound the horns , but the first ship did ?

Cool. But why does the Michipicoten look like it's bent in the middle? It's clear that the back of the boat is not level with the forward part (see 13:00 and on).

As much as the ships are compelling, the people watching the ships are equally fascinating.

The second ship must be the Edmund Fitzgerald's sister ship. Considering how it looks like the famous sunken vessel.

I helped machine the large pulleys for this bridge they where huge about 13-14 foot in diameter an I think about 36-42 inches thick. This is a 99 my machine these bullies they’ve been installed since areas I put new ones in since then there’s been over what we need 21 years since I’ve been a new pulleys but he’s probably should last good.. there’s such good still good qualities to you anyway we might get pictures of Paully‘s and be grateful to see him as a humbling experience get the machine for you guys love you all God bless you all

Each ship may be 300 + meters in length, great videography

Nice video dude 🙂 what kind of cargo do these ships carry ?

never seen ships with an anchor at the back.

Hoyt 2 beginning to look a little bit shabby in this video.

The Michipicoten once a beautiful lady but now sadly neglected for far too long!
