*"....The Surprise is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime...."* ~Capt. Jack Aubrey~
I was on the _S/V Denis Sullivan_ in 2019 as a passenger when we stopped at Algonac, with the brig _Niagara_ already there. We needed crucial supplies (toilet paper, paper towels). It was a fun stop.
Kind of surreal with the somper music but did anyone notice the car that drove up the brigde thats still standing? i wouldnt think theres be any vehicals alowed up there.oh if you pauze at 8:00 there is a truck parked right at the end man thats gotta be unnevering to come to a stop there near the egde.
There was a bucket truck up on the remaining bridge so the could test the structure. The span part most likely had the break away links where it come apart. I dont have the technical term for it.
@@janetphillips2875 hey Janet thanks for the info ,but whatever the reason its still gotta be unnerving driving up there knowing what up a head then stopping near the egde .gives me shivers lol
@@honda200twinstar3there's a comms truck parked at the top of the South approach to aide in the cleanup effort, there's also a smaller installation on the northern approach
@@JamesTK hmm then that brings me to the question ..how is someone up there going to be of help in the clean up ..way up there .oh and thanks for the reply .
@@honda200twinstar3most likely a radio repeater for unified command so they can monitor progress. It's a pretty good vantage point to monitor work from as well
It's been recreated a couple of times (the first recreation sank in 1986 with a loss of several lives). It's a recreation of a class of boats called Baltimore clippers.

I mean, Baltimore is a hard hit town that needs whatever points of pride it can muster. So it's not as important as the miraculously few lives lost, or the idled dock workers, but there's value to it.
