TOUR OF THE CAPTAIN'S STATEROOM 

A very gracious Captain, please thank him on your viewers behalf.

Thank you Captain for allowing Joe to show us your personal space on board. I have never met a Captain of a merchant ship so this might be something special. Please pass on my thanks.

Humble man. That’s what you want in a Captain. No bravado, no big ego, just rock_steady. Thanks for the tour, Joe. Long time subscriber and watcher. Keep up the great work!

im just a dude sitting here after a long day's work looking for some mindless content. And the internet is like "did you ever wonder what the captain's cabin looks like on one of those big ships" And I'm like hell yeah I do. this is great fucking content. the internet has it's issues but sometimes you find these little miracles. Thank you Joe Franta Ship

Nice tour. Gotta love a captain who on his time off goes sailing.

Captain seems to be a down to earth nice guy. Thanks Captain for allowing us to tour your space.

He seems pretty laid back, just the type of person you want in charge of a ship! Thanks for sharing, very interesting 😊

Thank you Captain! My Grandfather was an Engineering Officer in the Merchant Marine. I bet his 1920-50’s era cabins weren’t so nice haha

Cool. Captain's got all the info right there to manage his vessel.

Seems like a great captain to sail with.

Thanks for the tour! Your captain is basic and down to earth.

Very nice and many thanks for Captain Cole for showing us around!

Thank you, Captain! My father was a Merchant Marine. He loved the sea. I always admire mariners sailing the seas!

Dude! Recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching ever since.I was a commercial fisherman up and down the west coast for a number of years but never seriously considered joining the Merchant Marine. While Im never one to have regrets,I wish I was younger(56 now)Id jump out and do the journey tomarrow.Thank you for sharing-The ocean is a wonderful place to work!

Seems like a pretty down to earth guy.

I’d like to thank the Captain for showing his personal space. Also I want to thank you for posting the video, too few and far in between. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !

Congratulations on 100k subscribers. Thank you Captain for allowing us in.

Joe always good information

Thanks for the nice tour! The skipper seems like a cool dude. He’s very organized and neat.

It’s a good day when you post. Fair winds my friend!

...what a cool captain ! thank you Joe

G'day from Australian waters, thanks, I sincerely enjoy watching your work.

Hi Joe, Please thank Captain Davis for allowing us to visit him in his quarters. He seems to be a down-to-earth guy. I imagine that the crew loves and respects him. Also, I wanted to let you know that your vlogs are great! I've watched every one and always checking for new ones. I have one question though...I understand that it's possible for a freighter to carry up to 12 paying passengers. Have you ever been on a freighter that has had paying passengers on board? If so, what does the crew think of that concept? I would love to do that sometime and I promise that I wouldn't get in the way.😊

Thank you Captain.

Joe, thanks for another great video! Special thanks to Capt. Cole for taking the time to give us a tour!

This video came up out of nowhere and was well worth the view. Back in 2002 I had the opportunity to tour an FSO while in dry dock for refurbishment in Vietnam that had been earlier converted from a Russian super tanker built in the 1970s. The most interesting part of the tour was the bridge still in its original configuration and the crew living quarters which while not so spacious or modern seemed rather cozy. Thank you for posting this and to the captain for his hospitality.

Nicely done Joe, getting the 'Old Man' to agree to this is no mean feat ! FYI for your viewers, there IS a reason the recliner is where it is. The Master can easily glance out the window to gauge the weather, how the seas are running (especially when she starts 'working' in heavy weather), and of course, a clear view looking forward and to starboard (most of the arc of the 'Green' sidelight).

Very gracious captain….i cud see the crew respecting this man…🤙🏻noticed shirt and placard on wall ..Crowley Maritime…used to work in their …documentation/bookings dept ..in late 80’s…long ago.

Starfield wants more succulents lol. All jokes aside, I love your content Joe.

I finished up in Alaska. Very interesting. I did it for 12 years.

2007 was the first full year I worked for CMA as the exec sec to the Provost. I have so much respect for the students who graduate. Thank you for this glimpse.

This was cool! Seems like a great guy to work for!

Hey, 100,000 subscribers is just around the corner. Congratulations Joe!!!!! You have earned every single one.

what a super nice guy!! nice to see behind the scenes!! thank you Captain Cole!! Thank you Joe!

Cool Captain

Stateroom Hasn’t changed much since we use to sail. Retired in ‘94. Loved it out there.

Very cool video! Thanks for highlighting different aspects and people. Super interesting, informative and unique.

Thanks Captain. Very nice of you to show us around.

Thanks for the tour, Captain Cole!

Excellent Joe. Thank you!

Super cool and fascinating. Thanks for doing this!

Thank you for sharing this and be sure to thank your Captain.

My dream job . . . I should have pursued it before I got too old to.

Cool video! Thanks Joe😊

Look forward to each video, Joe!

Nice of the Captain to show us. Thank him please.

He’s got me thinking wild wild thoughts

Thanks very much for the tour, you and your crew do a fantastic job

Another great video! Thanks for all you do, Joe.

Looks like the same shipping I'm currently sailing on. Loving our recently installed Starlink Internet, super fast internet now, loving it!!!

Thank you Captain for the tour of your quarters.

WOW! What a great tour!

Thanks for sharing. That was fun!

Wow!! A captains tour!! Awesome!! 👌

👍👍. Very humble Captain. Peace

Thanks, Joe. I am SO thankful there are people like you, the Captains and Crews to move people and stuff around our beautiful planet. You are a fabulous story teller, too; part of being a true seafarer, I suppose. 😊

Thanks Captain Cole and Joe!!

Texas baby! Thanks Cpt for the tour!!

An interesting video, but one point: Please don’t play background ‘Muzak’ whilst people are talking.

How cool was that. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Thanks for the tour. Saw plenty of these types of ships at sea from the signal bridges of US Navy ships back in the 80's. First time seeing the inside of one. Cool ship, cool Captain!!!

Thank you Captain!

Excellent Joe- another vid from you! Thanks!

Thank you captain!!!

Captain is all business. Loved the tour.

Thank you captain for sharing a view of your space on the ship

Thank You! For doing that

Well done and very excellent video thank you for the tour Captain seems like a very seasoned professional excellent job

Thanks Captain !!!!! Thanks Joe !!!!!!.......great vids !!!!!!

Great video! Thanks for teaching us!

Spent 6 years in the USCG some of which was spent doing boardings in LA/LB Harbor. Been to many a Master's Quarters. Yup, that's about what it looks like depending upon the age of the vessel. And good to see a fellow Texan as Captain!!

3:46 flip the hinges on the refrigerator to the left side that way the door opens same direction as the hutch door. Living with it day to day will be a lot more enjoyable

i love this down to earth no big ego Captain, i was stationed aboard one Coast Guard Cutter where the Captain was like this . the first time you saw him each day we would salute him and that was it for the day. he did not stand on formality . thanks for letting us see your living quarters sir.

For years I've wanted to travel on a freighter. One day... Thanks for the glimpse of the life!

No idea why this was in my suggested videos, but glad it was. Captain seems like a great guy. His quarters aren't as lavish as I had expected. I always thought of sea captains as age 60+ The Titanic captain kind of thing. Not anymore. Thanks for the upload.

Very interesting 🤔 Thanks Captain, nice tour ! Great video Joe 🇺🇸

A neat little feature of that bookshelf that wasn't mentioned are the little metal brackets that you can see attached at the vertical midpoints of each shelf, presumably you can attach straps across them to prevent the books from flying out when the ship is rocking hard in stormy weather.

The Captain is real people! Thanks!

Seems like a mad cool C.O.

Thanks Joe great stories

Thanks Cap.

Great videos dude...well done. May God always be with you.

Excellent. Thank you for the tour

Thank you, Captain, for allowing us to see your quarters.

Thank you Captain, and thank you Joe!

Great capton❤

Thanks Joe and Captin for a great video! Joe I just got done watching a video about you on what's going on with shipping with Sal! Small world!

Thanks for the tour!

Such great content ! I love binge watching!

Thank you Captain

You have a great advantage in your videos that others don't. A voice that puts me to sleep, being a pathetic insomnia person you and Mike Rowe can do it. But I just go back and finish watching. Very interesting to see how others live.😮

Quite a luxurious suite

This was awesome! I love these videos on how you guys live.

Very cozy, nice place.

Texan obviously!1

Thank you. Concise and informative. Appreciate the view into your private domain.

Please thank the incredibly gracious Captain for this view into his quarters. Seems like a great guy!
