If there's one ship out there I'd love to see in person, it'd be the Anderson. The history of that vessel being the final vessel the Big Fitz spoke to before disappearing is just so incredible to me. To think she's still sailing after all these years, so cool. I wonder if those folks watching her there even knew just how significant she is to the Great Lakes history.

On a good year, we only get the Kaye Barker a couple of times, as she’s almost always loading at Marquette. I don’t think we got her once on 2020. Also high on my list are the Cuyahoga and Saginaw.

Hi- My wife and I are looking for the best place to view lakers and salties. Can you make a few recommendations? We are also RVers, so if you know of any campgrounds where we could watch the shipping traffic right from our site, that would be awesome! Great video! I really enjoyed seeing a lot of the lakers that I used to see on the Little Calumet River with my Dad back in the 1970's!
@1Long2Short3 жыл бұрын
The three best places to watch lakers are from Canal Park in Duluth, Sault Ste. Marie, and Port Huron (or anywhere along the St. Clair River). In Sault Ste. Marie there is the Aune Osborn campground, which is along the water... you should see lots of ships from there. There is also the Algonac State Park along the St. Clair River, south of St. Clair, Michigan, which should allow you to see several lakers in any given day. Unfortunately, there's nothing in the Duluth area that has camping right next to where the lakers pass, but it's the best place to go to physically stand close to lakers in motion. Most of the footage from this video was shot there.
