A few months ago the Arthur M. Anderson was perhaps the only Great Lakes freighter I knew and she was my favourite. She still is, bless her, but over the past few months I have been quite excited to learn about numerous others and your video has been a stupendous help in that regard. Thank you!! My second favourite is the Michipicoten followed by John G. Munson. It was only after I'd made this top three that I realized all three were built in 1952. Amazing!! Your video of the Michipicoten arriving in Duluth on December 27 (a year ago today and I just watched her arriving again) is simply beyond beautiful. Those lights were magnificient as they reflected on the water. I've not seen anything comparable to this incredible light display before or since. Thank you for catching her at just the right moment in all her glory!! And thank you for all the info you provide. For a newcomer like myself this is so helpful -- loads of pertinent info all in one place!!! Awesome!!
Thanks also for the generous donation! RU-vid’s studio app didn’t show the donation at first, so I just wanted to reach out again and thank you for your support! 😊
Thank you for making this video. I can’t imagine the time it takes to edit all the clips you took throughout the season. This is the relaxation I needed.
Thank you I followed along with my Mom's 2014 copy of Know Your Ships. Enjoyed seeing her notes of freighters coming and going at Manistee Harbor, lower peninsula. Time to get current issue, I have another somewhere. Saginaw sails into Manistee and I really was excited to see her sailing the end of the season up north in Duluth and Superior. Thanks!
It's tough to pick out just one laker as a favorite, as I have yet to see any in person! Seems as though the one I always come back to is the Wilfred Sykes for her color scheme, and streamlined looks. And then there's the Arthur M. Anderson, Michipicotin, Alpena, the Barkers and Tregurthas, the Canadian boats, the 1,000 footers, and so many more. And of course the tugs. Can't forget the tugs! Thank you for taking the time to put together this omnibus edition of the 2022 shipping season. 🚢 😎
Man, so hard to choose. For horns, I do like the Big Barker, Papa Treggy, and the Saginaw. For looks, the Wilfred Sykes by a mile. All in all though, I think the Spruceglen wins it for this season.
Great compilation! The opening to the video is positively breathtaking! Though the Great Salt Lake here is a formidable feature, it isn't even in the same stunning stratosphere when it comes to the Great Lakes and the colossal crafts that weigh its wharfs. Lol😂! Only diminutive dinghies will one occasionally find out in that saline-saturated slick. I turn envious of the locals there who frequent the shorelines and harbors to cast a glance at the many mighty steel leviathans, and to listen for the venerable and age-old practice of "One long, Two short!"
Saw your comment about The Great Salt Lake vs, the Great Lakes. I live in Michigan. We love our Boats. It is in our Dna!! My state is beautiful, friendly & historic. You are no more than 6 miles from anywhere in my state to some kind of fresh water. These freighters can be seen just about all over( unless your in the middle ddle of the state)! Come pay us a visit. You won't be disappointed. You can see these Lakers up close in my state too. Hope to see you soon. I believe you would love it.🎉
@shirleybalinski4535 Thanks Shirley! Oh! I guarantee that I would love it! There's something about great bodies of water that hv always fascinated me. I'm currently reading a book titled 'In The Kingdom Of Ice' by Hampton Sides. It's on the 1879-81 voyage of the USS Jeanette, where the boat and crew become trapped by ice and struggle to survive after having to abandon ship. There's something harrowingly otherworldly about being miles removed from the comfort and security of land, and facing the enormous power and indifference of the mighty Poseidan! Thanks for the kind invitation! Reading some books on the historical settlement, people, and economy of the Great Lakes region is actually on my to do reading list! Take care of yourself!
If I remember correctly, she was the last ship to contact "big Fitz"(ss Edmund Fitzgerald), before she went down with all hands on lake Superior in November of 75'
I included some bridge responses but didn’t want to include 25-30 bridge salutes in one video. It was my personal preference to cut out the louder (and more distorted) responses.
Good question. They probably can’t restrict a job that’s within legal working age. But assuming one plans to start as a deckhand, one will need to be in good enough physical shape to do the work (regardless of age).
The Wilfred Sykes has a style few can match. Back when Marine Architects were designing for looks and functionality! And then there is the little tug that can, the Missouri! Also noted that steam turbines are a rarity. I suppose they burn bunker oil.
