New Ship Coming To The Lakes! 

will it go to duluth mn?

@@CarterLovesShips You know I don't know. Might not considering McKeil Marine's vessels don't really make calls for Duluth

Thank you very much!

Good picks! I would say Ryerson, Anderson, Frontenac, Munson, Alpena. The Fitzgerald is my favorite shipwreck.

Thanks! Will do!

No, but I can if you want

Automation has changed many industries. I’m curious as to the effect on this industry in general. You are the guy who would know! I never miss your content. Thanks

Thanks! I wish the US would make more things in general, we get pretty much everything now from overseas. Had a good laugh about that! Sometimes with depressing topics like war hearing something humorous involving the war is nice. The simple thing is though-war is ugly. It's destructive, it kills people, and scars the rest for life. But it is certainly interesting. Thing is, now if there was a war that needed to be fought I don't think the country would be ready, and that's not really because of politics as much as its about the young generation. Even in peace times now the interest is just not there. Many industries that used to be popular are now not anymore, look at shipping, companies are struggling to find people. And sure if war comes so will the draft but I'm sure there will be protests against that and I don't think a lot of draftees would be strong and determined to fight the enemy with all they've got. But anyways that's just a thought based on observations I've had.

@@ConnorTenold Wow, Connor! All along, I was thinking that you were 16 maybe, 19 at the oldest. I thought this primarily because, your voice seems to have gotten a bit deeper since I first started watching your videos a few years ago. So, what are you, 45 or above? Lol! On the other hand, I have run across some teens who may have been young but, were some surprisingly deep thinkers who were aware of what's going on around them and in the world with amazing insight. I thought about what you wrote. I'm doing laundry and my washing machine isn't exactly fully automatic so, I had some time. I fear that your observations are pretty much spot-on accurate. We aren't prepared for any kind of global conflict. We weren't ready for war when Ht Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, either. In the years prior to the war, there was a sense of deep isolationism pervading the country. Almost nobody wanted to hear about or admit to knowing what Hitler was up to in Germany or what the Japanese were doing in places like, Manchuria. You would be surprised to find out how quickly people will put up their "dukes" and get ready to fight when they feel that their home or loved ones are threatened. I fear though, that it would take the U.S. a whole lot longer to gain a war footing than it did in 1942 directly as a result of the things you spoke of. I too wish that more products and goods were made at home ...or at not in China. China has wanted to see the U.S. destroyed since at least, 1949 when, Mao and his communist cohort came to power, there. We're helping them by financing it by buying Chinese manufactured products and investing in China. I know there are more people your age who think like you do. They're out there. Take heart in that fact. When you run across those people, give them your support. I was also going to respond to your comment about the Duluth sunset. You're very fortunate to live in a city on the lake, a poirt city and a college town. I've never been to Minnesota. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to canoe the headwaters of the Mississippi. It's on my bucket list.

@@HahnJames You know I've always liked to know things and spread knowledge. I read books on various things that I'm either interested in or passionate about. Sometimes I read things that scare me or make me depressed but I'd rather know things then be oblivious to them. I have some really good friends that are also deep thinkers but most people my age are oblivious to things and waste their time. They also struggle with conversing and having deep conversations is next to impossible. From the knowledge I have Social Media is what seems to be the major culprit. I could go deeper on that but that's for another time. I'm no extremist but China is up to something. The evidence is there, and not from some peculiar news site with suspicious ads, but from concerns in our government and literally what you can see with your own eyes. TikTok is owned by Bytedance, Bytedance is required by the Chinese government to give all the information they get on you to the government, and everybody else. They also watch everything you do even off the app. It literally says it in the terms and conditions. The content on TikTok is well either stupid or extremely sexual. So while teens are watching mindless videos in the US, children in China are reading the Art of War in school, they are required to. One of the strategies in the book is sexualize the children in the target country. That's the evidence. Some people will say its a for sure, some will say its a coincidence. But either way it seems like we are ignoring, as a society, the possibility of what this might turn in to. Well I guess I kinda went on a rant but anyways, I will be making a channel discussing Social Media in the future, so if you are interested I could give you a link once I start that up.

@@ConnorTenold One of my majors in college was history. I was especially interested in the history of the Far East. One thing you can see about the Chinese Communist Party iif you pay attention is, there are no such things as coincidence. If someone said to me that the hundreds upon hundreds of Chinese streaming across our Southern border, a large number of them wearing fatigues, is a coincidence, I would look at them as though they had not yet been promoted to the third grade. Or that there is a disturbing number of Chinese buying American farmland near military bases. No coincidence. I'm no extremist, either. I just see the evidence where it is as plain as day. We've been at war with the Chinese since at least, 1951. Most Americans are oblivious to that fact. The U.S. and it's allies killed about 400,000 Chinese soldiers in Korea. The Chinese will give you a different figure of 180,000. In China, the Korean War is known as, The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea." The war heated up again in Vietnam. The Chinese weren't involved in such great numbers as in Korea but, they were there, "advising." Did you go on a rant? I don't know. I really don't see it that way. You are indeed a passionate person. I think that's a good thing. We need more passionate young people in this country. It's a good thing that you have like minded friends, too. I wouldn't completely give up on your more oblivious peers, either. Now, they may be complacent with their video games and social media but, one day, they may surprise you in a good way. I grew up a Lutheran. I hear that there are a lot of those folks in Minnesota. I am still a Lutheran. One thing that Martin Luther said was, "The most powerful thing we can do is pray." I don't want to sound like some sort of religious fanatic but, I really believe in that. I do it often. Why I gave up the clerical collar is a long, kind of uninteresting and maybe sad story....one of those for another time. Anyway, anytime you want to "rant", rant away. I've found it interesting. Also, yes. I would be interested in that channel you spoke of. Just let me know when and where to sign up.

@@HahnJames I think history is the second most important subject in school after reading and writing. Just like with Hitler and the US ignoring the signs we are doing it again with China. The point-History repeats itself, and if kids don't get the knowledge of knowing the mistakes of the past they'll repeat them. But then again most people only think of the short term, and with historical knowledge its similar. They remember recent events way better. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist. I know that a life of following God is the satisfaction that everybody tries to reach, but they think they can get it through, money, sex, social status, etc. and although those things can be important the foundation needs to be God. But more and more I see the name of God being thrown out, misused or misunderstood. People will deny the love of God because they think that he hates the choices they've made. Some Christians will show anger and hate towards groups of people resulting in those groups viewing God negatively. I think being Christian is a beautiful thing but also a duty. People need to know that God is a loving and forgiving God. I know that he is coming soon. I mean if the world went on without him coming we would kill ourselves. Look at the food we consume, the media we consume, the wars, degeneracy, anger, etc. some people will say that Christianity makes no sense. But it makes more sense than anything us humans have come up with. I mean evolution teaches us that we came from a single cell. But that means that that cell and a beginning, a birth. So how did that come in to existence. What was before that? Oh, the big bang where everything just came into existence. Maybe I'm wrong on that but even if they say there was something before that it would still have a beginning. Which means that something would have come from nothing. How is that possible? A house can't just come out of nowhere, it needs to be created, it needs a creator. Its the same premise with the world. God created us. Humans can only think mortally. The theory of evolution is mortal. In order for things to exist there has had to have been something always there. Which God has but the theory of evolution talks about us evolving indicating that there was a beginning to everything. That everything is evolving from a starting point that was before, nothing. God has always been and always will be, its why we exist an other universes too. And soon we'll enjoy a life with him.

Thanks!

Only so much you can do when your rebuilding parts of a ship. It would seem like that would obstruct the view but there is ships like the Mark W. Barker and the Algoma river class vessels with the same thing and they have operated fine so it must not be a big issue.

Normally a closed circuit camera ahead of the unloading equipment to see around it.

@@jimwinsor8938 Good to know

Marinetraffic shows its current position.
