Beautiful video! We see the AAA's including Callaway pretty often, they look big until this guy shows up!

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

Thank you!

[@sammyvh11]

That time of the year.

[@alaricdogface]

She must be up for her 5 year inspection. Excellent video!

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

Thank you!

[@orionharmon6017]

Hey I was about to say, I thought that was Roger Blough sitting in Sturgeon Bay but not that's Arthur M Anderson right there.

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

@@orionharmon6017 That's the Callaway next to the Gott.

[@orionharmon6017]

@@GaryCihlarPhotography Oh sorry, my bad.

[@alaricdogface]

@@orionharmon6017 I think its Cason J Callaway

[@herbertmichaels2841]

Is it pretty easy to get hired if u get a twic mmc and passport? Most the freighter companies on lakes are shortstaffed?

[@maribethwester]

Gary - did you happen to get a video of her leaving yesterday?

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

Yes, Search my name on Sturgeon Bay Ship watchers, Great Lakes Shipping or Boat Nerds.

[@DavidScott-xv1sc]

The ships length is amazing. Nice video indeed!

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

Thank you!

[@danolson3672]

Enjoyed your video. Very well done and some of those pics could be framed. Are you any relation to Mary Cihlar?

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

Thank you, yes Mary is a cousin.

[@bobr7867]

Couldn’t really tell - are those actual holes on the port side hull? Coming through the canal it looked like holes… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TK-ri7pl]

Peeling paint/rust. Certainly not holes.

[@pauloconnor2980]

1978!!! That's old for a steel ship.

[@mattharper588]

Not for a Great Lakes freighter I worked on her during construction

[@TheoSmith249]

Do they rely on the ice to hold her in place?

[@GaryCihlarPhotography]

No, they secure with lines.

[@TheoSmith249]

@@GaryCihlarPhotography How long had the Gott been at the Dock when you photographed? No lines evident? seems tying up would be mildly important.

[@lizwesten1626]

Looks like she's smiling.

[@jeffsutton950]

I’ve seen her many times going up/down bound at sault.ste.marie Ontario locks
