Ice Battles at Sault St Marie: USCG Bristol Bay and Stewart J. Cort 

I know this is "railventures," but I just can't help how cool the Great Lakes Boats are! Having grown up in Muskegon, Michigan, I am a boatnerd from waayy back. And winter on the Lakes is magic. I just got my new computer built, up and running with the help of my son. So right now, the video will be "bare bones," with no music. USCG Bristol Bay and freighter Stewart J. Cort battle the ice at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan on Jan 8, 2018! The Stewart J. Cort is the first 1000 foot "laker," launched in 1972, and the only thousand footer with a forward pilot house. She is also unique in having an interior unloading boom which operates from the aft.
