@@crabmannyjoe2 only the 3rd one pal, the other 3, because one was a repeat, are Lakers AKA they don't leave the great lakes. They aren't capable of ocean travel, yes, the great lakes have salties, AKA ships that do undergo ocean travel, come through, but not every ship goes out on the ocean
Never will forget the first and last time a ship like one of these sounded it’s horn at me and a childhood friend when I was about 14. Was out fishing in deep waters offshore (Atlantic Ocean) just far enough we couldn’t see land anymore. In a 12 foot aluminum boat with a 7.5hp 1950’s Johnson on it… Lol. Probably sounds crazy to some people, but this is how we were raised on the water back then, and I’d been going offshore for years at that point. Even in relatively rough seas, in first a 10ft, then later a 12 foot “V” hull aluminum. Anyhow, I was coming in, in the shipping lane traffic. And most people also don’t know, these huge freighter ships go pretty fast. Much faster than I could go in my boat, even when it was up on plane. One of these ships snuck up behind me out of seemingly nowhere, and blasted its horn at me, and held it down for a really long blast! It was unreal! Scared the living sh!t out of both of us. It was so loud, I would swear the rivets were going to vibrate out of my little boat and have it fall apart right there. I barely managed to get out of the way in time because it was so fast, and got launched off about a 6 foot breaking wave the bow of that ship was pushing!! I remember looking way up above us, and seeing the top of that rounded ball they have on the end of their bow down near the water. Well when on the water next to it, that bulbous round hull point is HUGE. The top of the ship was probably the size of a 15 story building passing right next to us. Haha Easy to laugh now, not so at the time. The thing that gets small boats with these ships, is their speed, and complete silence on the water. You can’t hear them at all. No engine noise, no nothing until AFTER they’ve passed you! That is, unless they sound their horn! 📢📢📢📢😭😱😱
@@codyscorner2.082 Wow you're 12? That's super cool that you got to hear one of those ships at that age! Was it like a one time thing or does your father work for some shipping company or something?
im terrified of water and boats, and when i mean my palms are still sweaty even tho the vid is paused and im typing, just thinking about that is enough, i have no clue how that person is so casually recording as if its normal
Yeah for me it's bridges, big suspension bridges in particular. Such things are not supposed to exist. Walking over them sailing under them...I have to consciously suppress the feelings I get from these unnatural objects. When you feel the Lions Gate bridge sagging a foot or more every time a heavy vehicle passes by as you walk across it you feel exactly like this; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-prqBLPMjcVw.html
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sCmyZYYR7_s.html than this video should make you more scared (it made me) it's a vid from a diver that heard sonar while he was underwater, it's very scary
Imagine if the Spartans had one of these things, you’re on the battlefield banging your weapon on your shields waiting for your leader to give the signal(the sounding of the ship horn) and when it happens all of the opposing army stops dead in their tracks horrified by the loud, sudden, blaring horn, some try to run away, others are knocked over and trampled, everything is chaotic now, and that’s when you charge, the few enemies that remain standing finally snap back to reality and start to return the charge and after a bit of fighting you and you’re fellow Spartans claim victory
I'll bet that some poor dude/lady has been just casually sitting in their home like 500m away listening some relaxing music and suddenly shat in their pants.
@@NCRP710 ngl i was so confused a few times cause i aint ever hear a ship horn like that, normally they ae deep and bellowing, that was literally a train horn 🤣🤣
I love the greatlakes the ocean scares me but the the great lakes. They are just smaller cousins to its Larger counterparts. But none the less they are powerful vessels of life and can easily take it away as well
@@Groveish WTF are you talking about, these are bulk carriers, that haul coal, talconite, iron ore pellets, etc. None of these ships are for oil, the 3rd one is the only thing that's not a bulk carrier. Go look at an aerial photo of the 1, 2, 4, and 5th ships. You will see they are mostly empty space. The engines are below the main structure 🤡🤡🤡
@@Grandslam245 Tell you what bud, go look at an aerial photo of the 1, 2, 4, and 5 ships, you will see that they are mostly empty space, until loaded. 😄 the engines are below the main structure 🤡 🤡 🤡
0:30 and 4:39 I need some information of these 2 ships is the "James R. Barker" and the "Paul R Tregurtha" the same type of ship? Cause they look the same to me
@@jacobbeckley5292they're not necessarily sister ships, Paul R Tregurtha is slightly bigger and can carry More than James R Barker , they are operated by the same company, so In some way, yes, they're sisters. They're both bulk carriers, but are slightly different from one another. One thing for sure, you'll only see these vessels on the great lakes, because 1000 footers are too big to fit through the st Laurence seaway locks
@hunterneitzel3012 Okay, but I do have one last question for you guys are these ships Sea bulk carriers or great lakes bulk carriers like the Edmund Fitzgerald?
