The video of ships is great. The moron music ruins it.

Hardly a ripple and so quiet. 😊

Glad to see you posting again Sam!

Good one! I saw her on third. Tough and bold laker!

Sam thats a nice video of the American Mariner leaving duluth. Sam she was build in 1980 and she is 44. Sam her fleetmate the John J Boland had the Indian Head logo installed and I'm very suprised. I'm not sure If the American Mariner, Sam Laud and H Lee White will had the logo installed.

Sam that's the Atlantic Huron with the broken bow. She was build in 1984 and she is 40 years old.

I wish I could come here too. Where is this?

Nice video❤❤

Wonderful video. Form your Great Uncle Ed Hankinson

Anderson and Clarke are my 2 favorite classic lakers , sadly not many of them left , awesome video

“I love you Logan” 😂 💀 had me laughing

That was a good freighter catching day.

Awesome work! Rand sure has not had a good season so far.

Apenas ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

I took my dad's 17foot Thompson wood runabout with five horse Mercury outboard, under the bridge in your video. I had never run that boat before and I was by myself. I was fourteen at the time and learned real quick about river currents and not getting close to ships. I loved it,stuck on the wrong coast now.

I miss the steamers and their whistles. 29:03

Thanks for the great video! I must visit !!

Passing by Boldt castle. We bought a boat up there last year and it is just beautiful. Took the boat home to Long Island but we would love to sail back up.

Awesome!

Looks like a beautiful morning!

This is a nice viewing spot, I hope to go shipspotting on the St. Lawrence someday. Also that was a lot of smoke coming out of the Perelik, it's not even that old yet either lol.

Looks like a very scenic place!

Great footage from a locale I’m not familiar with. Looks like a fun place to visit.

Good video, cool place to boat watch!

The Classic Lake Freighters have the best Design (Pilot House Forward, Engine Cabins Aft). Also, I especially like the ones with the Small Pilot House, like the one on 1:15.

Excellent footage! I suspect we’ve crossed paths a few times in Duluth. If you see a grey-haired guy with a tripod and a fuzzy microphone, be sure to say hello. 🙂

Never got to see her, great video of it! Next time you go to the welland I might have to try and go too, it looks too cool to pass up with how close you are to the boats!

Great video as always!

Awsome footage!

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t know what it is about her but I’m going to miss her. She will live on through pictures and videos. A great veteran who some won’t forget. 😢

Back in the day, and I was on vacation in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I was on a Soo Locks Tour Boat and after locking through the Poe Lock. The Soo Locks Tour Boat was sailing Upbound towards the Algoma Steel Plant in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. I remember when, this Freighter was named Canadian Transport, and sailing in Upper Lakes Shipping Limited Colors. I,took,Four Pictures of the Canadian Transport unloading ore at the Algoma Steel Plant. And, to this very day and I still have the Four Pictures of the Canadian Transport in my Photo Album and I will still keep them. The Canadian /Algoma Transport will be missed 😢 . I took the Four Pictures in 1995. 4:08

Looks like i opened YT just at the perfect time. Sweet video of the Transport. It's a shame her working life is over, but hauling salt is hard on a ship. ✌️✌️

Sounds like the Joseph L. Block at 0:10

Very nice video! It was neat seeing the footage you took from the day we were down in Saginaw!

Great video!

Very nice, Sam. Spring and a new shipping season are right around the corner. 😃 ✌️🍁

Awesome Sam! I even saw some Saginaw River in there!

Great video Sam !

Nice re-cap. The weather drastically changed from first to final clips. 😮 Spring is only 31 days away, and we'll start seeing these big beauties moving again soon.

Great work, thanks for boating.

The way you match your speed with the speed of the vessel bow on…. Outstanding!

Great footage!

Nice stuff. There were a few I've never seen before, including St Marys Cement II. I worked for that company for many years here in Ontario. Thanks for the vid, it's been awhile. I'll be looking forward to Part 2. ✌️🍁

buy an extra horn

😢😢😢😢

Low PSI

Marine Robin was scrapped, part of her was used to build Thompson..and it is a common misconception that Marine Robin was at Normandy DDay...she was in New York harbor, having just delivered Agricultural workers from Jamaica,and had yet to be pressed into military service..she latef sailed from Norfolk to Naples,where she entered the war effort in August 44, and in Operation Dragoon,the Invasion of SOUTHERN France, her Naval Gun crew earned 2 battle ribbons/stars..All this info is out there, but a simple mistake @20 years ago has led to the false DDay attribution..thanks for the video,you went the extra mile for us!!

I only seen her once in detour loading at Drummond. Definitely sad to see this barge go.

goodbye old gal
