No, they're not. Locally and globally, petitions have been drawn up and signed, putting into action resolutions to ban these behemoths from the waterways where they cause billions in damages annually. Even the men and women who are made to operate these vessels have fought back against their greed driven shareholders and literally abandoned ship mid voyage. The incident in the Suez canal where a crosswind ran the container vessel aground is huge red flag that drew the neccessary attention to correct the issue and correct it quick.
@@ricaurandt6713 about as good as a fourth grade petition to ban fossil fuels. You think they’re gonna ban ships? The ships that carry everything you ever used in your life? Just like those people that live next an airport and complain about airplanes….Ban Airplanes!
@@pilotelliott actually, my Republican fool, this video is quite old, and the problem was solved. The evil socialist communist liberal concepts of 'scientific study' and 'negotiation' were applied. The speed of the ships was slowed by about 40% (from 8 knots to 5 knots), and a series of angled breakwaters were installed to further mitigate the issue. Even the video creator mentions this in his updated video description.
@@ricaurandt6713 lol yea ban shipping. Smh how old are u? People would literally starve and go without basic stuff. I live in a river town and the shipping industry is part of life and really they keep society going. Fuck that rich guy and his boat. Dont build or buy a house on a major shipping route. Pretty easy. The canal was built to do exactly what he is complaining about. Its not for his stupid ass boat.
@@dimitrikemitsky no where in the video does he even mention the speed. The canal was literally built to take in the overflow of water when ships pass. What idiot builds a house that close?
0:03 When he said "When a thousand footer goes by" and he turns toward the water, I was all "What do you mean all I see is a large hill on the opposite bank-holy shit it's moving."
At :02 He was actually turning around when he says " I want to show what it's like when a thousand footer goes by and you see the ship at :03 not the large hill on the opposite side.
Imagine eating in yo kitchen and then suddently the air in the room decides to get the f out, pulling you out the windoe and then throwing you back in your living room only for you to notice that your meal is gon
If you read the end of the description you'll actually see that many fish who used to breed there are now endangered because the waves screw with them so badly
This was 8 years ago, roughly. Guaranteed by now this guy is out there in a grass skirt with a Zulu spear, waving it frantically at passing cargo ships while screaming in high speed gibberish
What a super cool place! The grass is perfect, everything is green, the houses look small but nice on the outside, gravel roads, a canal and A TON of bridges!
It’s probably to cut down in traffic through your property (or whoever was unlucky enough to have the one and only bridge in their backyard). Just a guess. 🤷🏻♂️
@mr suntan, wow you're super intelligent! I didnt know crowd noise eroded the riverbank at an accelerated rate...have to keep that in mind. Also didnt know you could sue the clouds...these fucking hurricanes down here in Florida are gonna be hearing from my lawyer. Thank you for your words of wisdom!!!
Completely different, why conflate the two. Thames has been doing that probably since its existence. These boats are getting bigger (more displacement) and were speeding. They also displace water much more quickly than a tide, as you saw the tide went in and out within 2 mins! 2 mins versus about 12 hours???!!! Why do people make such dumb comments???
@@skullsaintdead .. Oh, yeah. Those ships were just zipping by, towing water skiers (waving & smiling) behind them. Get real. The guy described ships going 3 to 5 mph over the speed limit (a guesstimate, likely exaggerated), hardly a major crime wave.
@@dwightstewart7181 Another one. You clearly have no understanding of whats going on. I have to explain everything to you people like you are children. If you don't understand something, don't automatically disagree as an attempt to save face. Learn what's going on! Look the sodding thing up! That difference in speed is significant when discussing ships and perspective - 8 knots limit and someone going 3 to 5 knots over is between 37.5 - 62.5% increase. So, for a highway it'd be top speed of 60km/hr when someone is doing 82.5 - 97.5km/hr and highways don't tend to give way & collapse when people speed, though obviously there is more wear & tear on the roads. The greivance here was significant enough for the authorities to reenforce the speed limits & the issue has subsided. Its not difficult, educate yourselves!
Not to mention their in the middle of nowhere with vast lands and decide to build the houses and roads close together like a dilapidated artificial suburban craphole. People are moronic money wasters.
When Incat tested their first large fast catamaran ferry here in Hobart, Tasmania, it roared down the Derwent river out to sea at over forty knots. The resultant wash smashed into the moored boats at several yacht clubs and caused massive damage, as all the boats were lifted up and smashed into piers etc. Incat didn't try that again.
@@kaeolandon-lane3429 No worries. Dodges Ferry was indeed the site of a ferry, run by a guy named Ralph Dodge, who ran the ferry service there in the 1820's.
Ahh it must be time for my annual viewing of this video. Thanks RU-vid algorithm, it’s nice to see all of you again Edit: Thanks to all y'all for 2k likes! It’s been an honor to be here with you
I don't mean to make light of your damage assessment, but from a land lover's perspective...that is so strange, and yet sooooo cool to watch! Thanks for posting the video!
Nopainnogain Hurts really is much slower then that, as you can see by watching they have been here for at least 20 years and boats have been traveling up and down for about 75, and I see no huge damage done by it, and to top it off you moved there knowing this would happen, so not sure what the point of this is, if it's to show errosuin then show it because this video showed no damage caused by this, those are not new homes and the vegetation has been growing for some years and they have old growth trees, so all this together with no damage means your kinda barking for nothing there fella
UPDATE: -------------------------------- Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed down and monitored by the US Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance. This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot upriver limit (in this section) during the shipping season. Speed limits have now been enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided. northcountrynow.com/news/ship-speeds-seaway-cut-due-high-water-levels-0112566 SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION -------------------------------- Great Lakes Shipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways. However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have planned for. Previously large taconite-ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation. While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "Tidal Bore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium". The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season. INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND: -------------------------------- Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years). This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood. Information on Harsens Island: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsens_Island NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014 -------------------------------- Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species" www.fws.gov/Midwest/sturgeon/biology.htm
First, there is not an 8 knot limit there. The regulations have remained at 10.5 knots. Second, nobody is going up that river at 13 knots since maybe the Cliffs Victory in the 1970s (which pulled a wake through Sans Souci and is the reason there is a speed restriction in the first place).
Scott S 8 knot Upriver / Land Relative. 10.5 knots minus the current = relativistic travel of 8 knot +/- 1 knot. We use this measurement when calculating ship speeds from a static vantage point. Unless you are saying it is 10.5 knot land-relative, which would be about 12 knot water relative given the speed of the current in that part.
Scott S oh - since you are the first actual industry person to comment (thank you) -- you may find it interesting that one Pilot stated that the ships logged traveling at a higher rate of speed than allowed were all using retrofitted "Sperry Marine Visionmaster" navigation systems. I am guessing his thought is that there may have been a bug in how these system calibrated their overall velocity, which was leading to incorrect rates of travel. I am unsure on the validity of that premise... as I don't know how common Sperry Marine products are in domestic vessels... but it'd be interesting if that was the true cause.
I’d like to take a moment to welcome all of those who have been recommended to view this 10 year old video for absolutely no reason today. See you all on the next one. ✌🏽
drServitis the damage is when that water rushing back in the opposite direction will begin to erode the banks and before you know it( maybe in a few decades) but your ass will walk out if your back door n fall in that sumbitch. Or just maybe the bridge you choose to sit on, suddenly collapses under you.
So isn't there some kind of design that could potentially be made at the end of the river to reduce the amount of water being pulled out of it because like you said it's because of the tail of the ship. Why not a directional flow control for the river? Might cost less for them to put that in than replace the bridges and whatever unlucky buildings.
@@kretzschMusic And since they are all over the world and everybody knows about them, you might as well just call it a sluice like everyone else instead of doing the whole "look everyone I'm Dutch" cliché
I mean, they could have not built a neighborhood and artificial waterway off of an active shipping lane. This is like those people who move out to farm country, and then complain that it smells like cow manure.
I'm glad they worked on enforcing the speed limits! This kind of thing is certainly not something I would have spent much thought on despite knowing that water displacement for freighters must be huge. Thanks for the visual and the information you left in the description especially about the St. Clair River Sturgeon
Yah, and I wonder if all this “oceans rising” that the global warming crowd is hyperventilating about isn’t due to all these large displacement ships being constructed and floated in the world’s oceans. Well Al Gore, have you ever considered that possibility? Seriously though, if I lived where this is occurring I’m sure that I would be complaining as well.
@@chrish5791 Are you joking? There's no way you actually think there are so many boats in the water that they raise the ocean levels, lmao. This is either the stupidest climate change denial theory I've ever heard or the greatest troll I've ever heard.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season. You are a legend ,seriously somebody needed to put such a video to wake them ,very well made video
Yeah but don't mind the uneducated fellow that has to tell everyone it has nothing to do with displacement. Its the props sucking the water from in front bathe ship and pushing it behind the ship, not the ship displacing water. Displacement will only cause a rise in water
Last I checked the USCG regulations there was no speed limits anywhere. Just the slowest safe speed possible. Sometimes that can be 10 knots depending on wind speeds and currents.
@@Deerhunter2024 Speed limits for the St. Clair river are 12mph/10.4kts SOG between light X-2 and Lake Huron Cut buoys 1 and 2, found in 33 CFR 162.138 and US Coast Pilot volume 6 chapter 2. Speed limits are enforced both by GPS/AIS monitoring and mandatory participation in the vessel traffic service at Sarnia, ON
Bright side is it keeps the water from becoming a stagnant pond-like canal & the sound of the waves is beautiful. Some good landscaping rock piles lining the entire edge of the canal might help with erosion, but I’d consider those waves otherwise more welcoming than a nuisance in terms of property value. It is going to happen no matter what unless you build a lock at each end of the canal. Even then, it will damage the lock eventually too. It is going to happen and there really is no way to stop it long term. Think of it as getting your canal dredged of silt constantly and never having to worry about it silting in. Live life and find the silver lining to any situation.
@highmiles 68 we have a shooting range literally 1 mile from the town (small town) it acts as a shooting range, brush dump, and a trail system. People never complain about the noise, they complain about how the cops go out there at 10pm to practice there night shooting skills and they stop at 11. They want them to be out there MORE because everyone has become so used to it they can't sleep when there's not gunshots in the night. Lol funny people round here
@@elledaniels3176 I have none for this man. He bought the house here, he didn't have to. Also, the ships have a schedule to keep so you can keep buying dumb shit at Wal-Mart
Okay...well then don't live by a normal traffic lane of 1,000 ft ships. I mean you could try getting rid of the Moon to solve the problem. All you have to do is travel to the Northern Water Tribe to yeet the Moon Spirit aka Tui who takes the form of a fish in the human world. Keep in mind, an admiral named Zhao tried this and he got clapped real hard by a monarch's son and a 12-year-old who's the most powerful being on the planet.
I suspect those ships were using that waterway long before this self righteous gent with his manicured lawns and decorative bridge put in an appearance. Might I suggest his next home purchase be made on the San Andreas fault.

Why do have to turn this into a victim contest? Youre probably an sjw leftist, right? So by your logic, nobody should complain about anything unless they have it the worst in the world, right? Fuck outa here.
My god you don't like it, don't move there. If you moved to the desert you would cry about the sun. Stupid people, you can only control you. You don't like it move
If you want to see this area's location today, paste these coordinates into google maps. 42° 33' 14.0587" N, 82° 35' 23.96" W The video shows that the land on the other side of the bridge is water-level. Now, it's completely underwater.
Unrelated to topic, this video was recommended, I clicked out of curiosity and instantly felt nostalgic. I haven't been to my home in decades but recognized the scenery near the Great Lakes. 😭
@@Tolbat Shipping speed limits are great. They help prevent excessive erosion along banks. Once the ships were slowed down to the speed they should have been going, the problem went away.
Oh man, I saw this video like a year ago and I was still thinking about it. And this damn RU-vid algorithm brings me back there. The best thing happened today ^^
Reminds me of of the time I went down to Louisiana on a vacation with family and the place we stayed at had 1000 footers passing by all the time! It was a pretty cool experience to see, I think the place was called Lake Charles.
I remember stuff like this happening living in Illinois, and the 1980s on the Illinois River. Same thing would happen- a barge would suck all the water out and then massive flooding after it passed. You had to be really careful when they were coming through, because the current could suck you out into the river very quickly.
And you live there.....why? I'm originally from southern California, and this reminds me of the morons who want live in the hills of LA away from most people, then complain about the wildfires and hill slides.
I know it sucks to have property damage, but as a landlocked lover of large ships, I'm so envious of someone living right there, where you get to watch the ships come and go, and have small boat access right in your backyard!
Then he should not have moved there duh. Move to the desert I bet he would complain about the sun. The only thing one can control is there selves. Dur da dur...... Waaa Waaa Waaa I want my cake and eat it to.

Did you fast forward when it drained all the way down cause I missed it. You also forgot to film the huge wave coming back. Other than that pretty cool!
