Im might of missed it but did it unload something here before heading back to Europe?And I’m confused as to why the pilot was leaving the ship and not boarding to transit the canal.I assume the ships (regular) captain can command the ship on the great lakes
@stevewaller8170 10 күн бұрын
I believe that the "crew member" coming off was the lake pilot. Salties must have a pilot on board when moving on the Great Lakes.
@samuelcollins1331 10 күн бұрын
@johnandersonjjr: I have tried mightily to understand the Pilotage Requirements on the Great Lakes. But it has been like pulling teeth!! Without drowning (pun!) in the details it goes something like this: “Salties” fairly straightforward require pilots. I can not determine if the Welland Canal has it’s OWN set of Pilots. Also, does the St Lawrence Seaway have ITS own set of Pilots? Finally, what about US Ships sailing strictly inter-state routes, eg. Duluth to Buffalo? I simply could NOT determine the Pilotage requirements in these situations. Thanks for giving me the chance to express my frustration.🥱🤔 Sam, Towson, md

@stanpatterson5033 14 күн бұрын
Some have suggested that she struck bottom, or scraped the lock sides. Well, I very highly doubt that it touched bottom, and if it had touched sides, I'm quite certain you would have heard the sound. I'm going with the theory that some others have purposed.... thrust torque, while applying power to the shaft and propeller. Only a guess, though.

I understand the locks and their operation, but for what are the yellow cranes (one per lock, it appears) used?
@stanpatterson5033 14 күн бұрын
They do look like cranes, but they really aren't. It's merely a boundary defining instrument. There will be one at either end of each lock, and as a ship enters, the yellow gate will be down at the far end, and this gate will define the limit of travel that the ship must observe prior to entering AND while positioning inside the lock. If they hit the gate, it's considered the same as your toes or feet crossing the foul line in a bowling alley, only the penalty for doing so at a bowling alley won't get you thrown out, maybe just yelled at. Okay, so that last part was merely light-hearted sarcasm. The gates are to tell the boat where they cannot exceed, lest the boat hit bottom during the lift or lowering function. There needs to be space left both ahead of, and behind the ship, to avoid fouling the movement of the lock doors, and the inrush of water coming from the lock above, so the last thing they need is for a ship to be obstructing view, or crowding the operation. The gate would likely not hold or stop a lake freighter should it over-run, but still, there would be some space between the nose and certain danger, a few precious seconds for a ships' crew to get stopped before striking a critical piece of lock infrastructure. Gates are easily replaceable, and sometimes they do get hit. Usually, you can see spare gates sitting, placed parallel, beside the lock. Edit: I just went back and re-watched, and noticed that, as you said, only one per lock. Other locks have 2 per lock, one at each end for whichever way the ship may be going.

I grew up on the western basin. The story's I could tell, sinking ,sails crushed docking weather side people getting thrown out of boats the list is endless. And anyone that has spent decades on the lake has seen and felt some weather. Personally, 60 some years ago at a very very young age I fell in love with the lakes. I am blessed to say they have been and are my home. I am on Superior now and she sings a different song all together. When she sings it's best to set it out and watch the dance from shore.

Let’s Be Honest Nigel most of this Damaging Destructive Weather Warfare you witness over Lake Erie, is DELIBERATELY Caused by our government! The United States military has military operations going on about the clouds and atmosphere you don’t see releasing chemical agents in the sky that are literally increasing the Destructive Weather energy that’s Destroying the lives of humanity for DECADES! Remember what LBJ said about the Weather? And NOBODY SAYS A THING except everything is wonderful in the United States and your area of Canada because you are located 15 minutes to 30hr from where I live in the United States! Shameful Canadian Neighbor absolutely shameful! This Weather WARFARE Needs to STOP! Check out monkey Werx he follows the cloud seeding demons when their Transponders are on, along with In2thinair on bitchute or rumble and Dane Wigington’s Geo Engineering page who’s been following and fighting all this Weather Warfare plus Weather Wars101 on bitchute hes not allowed to tell the truth on KZbin and there’s so many other fighting the NON Disclosure Agreed mockingbird weather meteorologist! Alex Jones even interviewed engineers that installed ALL the new Doppler weather radar transmitter Stations WONDERING Why these Weather Warfare Demons NEED SO Much POWER to Drive and Operate these Doppler Weather Radar Transmitter STATIONS for monitoring your weather? Unless they are Driving many WATTS of Electricity Energy INTO your clouds for the Destructive Output they are looking to Create!?!? It’s so True Nigel how nasa noaa the National weather service and other has turned our lives into COMPLETE DESTRUCTION by their Weather Warfare Technology! Shameful Canadian Neighbor absolutely a complete SIN what the American Taxpayers have funded by their DARPA AGENDA AGENCY Toys! And you Nigel depend on nice weather to be able to go out to right on the lake to enjoy life? From the Destructive Damaging NY Lake Erie Blizzards to the Florida Destructive Damaging MANUFACTURED Hurricanes to the High Powered Doppler Transmitter MANUFACTURED Tornados in the DS tornado alley it’s ALL MANUFACTURED by your Government to DESTROY Humanity’s Lives!!! Very very shamefully sad Nigel and you and humanity depend on nice natural weather to enjoy life? The quieter and sheepish we get the more Freedoms Liberties and Sovereignty we loose! Very Very Sad! Canada and America has FALLEN ASLEEP 😴 FOREVER 💤 !!!!
