She is very high in the water which means she is empty.If she was loaded the water line would be where the hills colour change.

She will not be forgotten. She lives on through all those that worked on her. And through pictures and videos. ❤

This cruise goes from Port Colborne to Port Weller? And do you go back free of charge?
@RightInNiagara 2 ай бұрын
This was a one-way, one-day cruise, part of the Canal Days festival. They arrange a cruise up the canal the day before the festival (Port Weller to Port Colborne) During the festival, Sandy takes passengers out onto Lake Erie with her sails raised. (Ships cannot use their sails while on the canal) The day after Canal Days is over, Sandy heads back down the canal and also takes passengers to Port Weller. If you board at Port Weller, you can leave your car in the parking lot for the day (you pay) but they do provide a shuttle bus (included in the cruise ticket price) which will return you back to Port Weller, back to your car. If you go the other way, they provide a shuttle bus back to Port Colborne. It's a long day, but is unique and fun.

They used to build temporary wooden structures on that ice bridge every winter, it was somewhat of a tourist attraction. There was one particularly large building rebuilt ever year, until one year the ice sheet broke catastrophically and killed many people, this was at least 100 years ago.

I graduated from Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Traverse City, Michigan. I would love for someone to explain to me why the Academy doesn't ask for and the companies don't offer to give the Academy a ship to be its training ship. Right now we have a crappy little diesel electric on loan from MARAD. Am I supposed to believe that the price for scrap metal pays so well that the companies can't donate one of these old girls to the Academy? You would get more from the charitable right off. You could make the ship a tourist attraction at the Academy when docked and make money to afford maintenance and fuel.

This bridge looks very similar to the famous Duluth Ariel Lift Bridge. Ships passing under the Duluth bridge sound there horns as a salute to the bridge operators who, in return, sound the horn on the bridge. The whole process is a delightful experience for the folks lining the Duluth Canal visitors area. Sam, Towson, MD, USA

My older brother was the 3rd engineer on this ship when it was brand new. They had a window cut in front of one the props so they could look at the effects of cavitation, they used a strobe light to stop action the prop. High tech stuff back then.

And who knows about the Cuyahoga? I hope not for her too. I hate seeing the Transport going. Unfortunately hauling salt did her in.
@RightInNiagara 6 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree - Cuyahoga from last year, and now suddenly, Michipicoten too: what will happen with them? Tough decision to make - to fix it or to scrap it...
@johnsoper5675 6 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing, that the Michipicoten will be scrapped as well.
@TheUnflushedToilet 6 ай бұрын
@@johnsoper5675 I have heard that the diving team that looked at the cracked hull says that the Michipicoten is reparable, but it's really dependent on if Rand will put the money into repairing it. Also there's the Cuyahoga which is also in limbo, so far it seems Rand hasn't decided what to do with the Cuyahoga.

While working as a deck hand on the MV John B Aird, we were approaching lock 3 upbound. We were perhaps less than 10 feet from the approach wall and the First Mate I were at the forward end, when we heard a serious amount of metal sounds, tearing, crushing, etc. I said the the First Mate, "I think we just hit a car". Sure enough after we entered the lock, the Seaway shut down the canal and sent down into the water. Sure enough, it was recent dumping into the canal.

Hauling salt helped shorten her career unfortunately like it does to our cars on the roads. 😢Thank you for sharing this with us.
@TOTALCAMARO 9 ай бұрын
So sad knowing her long career has come to an end 😢 But her captain and her crew proudly went and took her under her own power to her final destination. She will live on through photos, videos and memories for her captain & crew and all of us. ❤ It would have been great to hear a salute between them. It’s hard to believe that the other one is 57 years old.

Extremely disappointed to see this. She used to be the Kinsman Independent… my grandfather’s final ship before retiring as a first mate of 3+ decades. Was hoping to take a job on her or at least a ride… now it’ll never happen.
