Massive Ship Navigates Tight River Curves to Deliver its Cargo 

Thank GOD for ALL these Companies that take care of the Business that most of us never realized even existed. Thanks for shedding some light on these businesses.

It's amazing that the large ship can get up that crooked narrow river. Thanks for the very interesting video, and the great editing to condense it down to a reasonable length to watch.

Love to see you do a tour of the lakes as far as shipping. We've got limestone mines, cement plants coal power plants that receive one thousand foot freighters, scrap metal, steel mills.

Nice to see an other kind of video from you. Very interesthing. Notes: 03:29 new houses on what looked liked old industrial ground. 03:56 another type of bridge next to the X of 4X Speed. 14 bridges in view? 09:37 that is A curve to float through! Nice job, captain (with help from radar and cameras on front, I think). Nice flying under neath the bridges too! Did he go backwarts the same route? That's even harder!

Excellent work thank you!

Great video of the Northern Venture, the Cuyahoga River, and Cleveland! I've lived in Cleveland and surrounding suburbs all my life. Cleveland is a great city and your drone footage really made it look beautiful! I once navigated the Cuyahoga on a boat made of plastic milk jugs. Back in the 80's and 90's, Cleveland had an annual Riverfest. Part of the festivities was a Crazy Craft Race. My buddy and I built a catamaran with a couple hundred gallon milk jugs and foam insulation boards. We came in near last but we succeeded in our goal of not sinking and crossing the finish line, lol. At 6:10 you mention either a Coast Guard or fireboat escorting the ship. Behind the trees to the left of the bridge is a Cleveland Fire Station that houses a fireboat. The firehouse can be just barely seen at 7:00. This area of the river also looks wide enough that a ship could turn around if it wanted to. There is a turning basin further up the Cuyahgoa. Here is a neat video of Herbert C. Jackson turning around in the basin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8C8xyjUSGl0.html. Lastly, not a big deal, but I couldn't help notice the Sunoco gas station at 29:44. That is one, of only two gas stations, that I believe are in the main downtown area of Cleveland. I used to fill up at that Sunoco when I worked downtown.

i have attended many concerts right under that tent

Man nice video!

Your videos are always so interesting and informative. You are much appreciated for your efforts. Thank you!

Fascinating video, I enjoyed every minute, thanks for posting I appreciate the effort ! Regards From Southern California; - Larry

Your videos are fantastic! I appreciate you making them and I'm always like them. I also try to leave a comment. That blue highway bridge is beautiful, that color really pops!

Oh one other thing. Depending on water and river conditions this boat could still require tug assistance.

Fantastic! You almost landed on the bridge near the end. Any closer and they would have to feed you lunch!

amazing this thing navigates through without a tug to assist in the sharp turns

The small grey vessel generally in front of the ship is a river pilot boat.

Dang it is busy on marine traffic

Nice video and explaination of the loading of Northern Venture. Not clear on how the comodity gets offloaded from inside the hull? Are there conveyors under the load also?

I wonder how does the ship go back? Does she move backward?

they reverse out back to lake?

There is not two mooring lines on each side of the ship. There is only one mooring line on each side of the ship.

Marquette the soo locks superior Duluth Thunder Bay south Chicago etc. Gary.

I want to know how they got out of there?
