American Century - Winter Layup on a Cold and Windy Night

[@herzglass]

Your regular uploads have become an anchor for my sanity. Amid the troubles of daily life and the overwhelming news, these calm, beautiful shots feel like moments of meditation that bring me back to a sense of balance. Thank you for sharing these serene escapes.

Same here, best wishes for you

[@1Long2Short]

Thank you! It means a lot when I hear how much people enjoy the videos. We have lots more to come over the winter, even though the season is over. 🙂

[@1Long2Short]

Thank you!

Riding high and light, her little buddy is there to help keep her running true.

[@1Long2Short]

Little friends helping big friends!

Another great video Thanks so much for once again braving the elements to capture it for us.❤❤

[@1Long2Short]

Thanks Cathy! This was one of the coldest videos I’ve ever recorded. 🥶

[@f.e.salimi3726]

Thank you. Beautiful with the little tug doing its job.

[@1Long2Short]

Gotta love those little tugs! 🙂

[@TOTALCAMARO]

The winter break is finally here for the captain and his crew. Enjoy your time off and stay warm. Beautiful evening video 😊

[@1Long2Short]

Thank you! I hope they enjoy their time off.

What a beautiful sight, seeing the tug and ship work together. I haven’t seen that since I was a little girl living in dependents’ housing (Yamashita Park) on Yokohama Bay in Japan in 1958.

[@1Long2Short]

Thanks for sharing your memory!

[@LinseyBurt-hc4cu]

Wow! Just look at the massive difference in the size of both of them!

[@1Long2Short]

Kind of hard to imagine such a small tug moving such a giant beast, right? 🙂

[@williamcarl4200]

Bracing for an unusual cold tonight. Is my liking your channel and wonderful content to blame? Cold is good, but not in my back yard! Love the show!!!

[@1Long2Short]

Thanks!

I was surprised how little ice the Century and Missouri had to deal with, for 12 Jan. Great video, colour was perfect. Cheers!

[@1Long2Short]

The ice moves around quite a bit. When I saw the Paul R. Tregurtha depart through the same canal the next day, most of the canal was covered in ice. Made for some fun viewing!

[@alexh327]

Thank you! Beautiful video!

[@1Long2Short]

Appreciate it, Alex! Thanks!

American Century and the Elevator "M" Dock will have plenty of time to talk about all sorts of things. I wonder what might be the first topic? Regardless, I don't think I could handle the cold. I can barely deal with the Northern Utah temperatures of 17°(F) in the morning and 25°(F) in the afternoon. And I work outside! 🥶 😅

[@1Long2Short]

The Century can also chat with the Walter J. McCarthy Jr. nearby. They can catch up on all of the company gossip. 😁

[@treeandaturd]

that was great!

[@1Long2Short]

Thanks!

Night videography at it’s very finest. Do many ships layup in Superior? Don’t recall hearing of Superior as a location that serves as a layup location.

[@1Long2Short]

Thanks Greg! There are two 1000-footers at Elevator M/Lakehead Pipeline. At Fraser shipyard there are four ships, including the Michipicoten. Two boats are at Port Terminal in Duluth, including the 1000-foot Presque Isle.
