⚓️First-Ever Night Departure: Cruise Ship Lights Up Duluth!

[@carllafrance5510]

Hi Mike and boat friends ! Another Spectacular Video ! I noticed the reverse sheer on the bow ! Everything old is new again ! That design originated back in the Mediterranean a couple thousand years ago on war canoes with a protrusion out the bow they were rowed with oars The idea was to ram the opponents vessel and sink it ! After that ships became "modified buckets " the galleons and such Then in the 1800s there was the " need for speed "from sleek sailing sloops to the fully riggedships the tea clippers ! Revers sheer reappeared on the iron dreadnought battle ships with reinforced bows late 1800s thru the first world war ! Same tactic as before ! If close in ram your opponent to sink their ship ! or run over a surfaced submarine to sink it The idea died out again After the year 2000 reverse sheer became popular again staring with several super yachts power and sail More a authentic artesy trend Reverse sheer can be found on Everthing from 14 foot dingys up to that cruse ship ! It might have a ice reinforced hull ( extra frame between the frames) Probably couldn't break much ice As for efficency about the same as a bulbus bow The designer drew a line from the front of the bulbus bow and extended it up to the deck at the bow and filled it in Resulting in reverse sheer Beautiful ship to look at ! Excellent video from the boat friend boat ! The ship slipping by in the dark ! Magical ! Have a great day !

[@jerrycomo2736]

Ship was stationary in the harbor, but anchors were not down. Must be using its engines and bow thrusters to automatically maintain position. Pretty cool.

[@vibewithmike]

That’s exactly right, it has a system that is able to keep that ship stationary without using in anchor in calm water

[@chuckg6039]

I picked this up using AI: The Viking Octantis expedition ship uses a computer-controlled dynamic positioning (DP) system to maintain its position without anchors or mooring lines. The DP system uses GPS and thrusters to keep the ship in place, even when anchoring is difficult. This allows the ship to hover in place, making it easier for guests to board small craft for excursions. The DP system also helps to minimize damage to fragile areas like seabeds.

Beautiful ship and a good video

[@vibewithmike]

Thanks Anthony! I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday. Thanks for taking extra time to leave a comment after watching the video.

This is just fantastic!! Love the night shots. It's also really exciting to see cruise ships in the Great Lakes!😊❤

[@vibewithmike]

Stephanie, it was really an all day affair going out watching this boat and waiting for it to depart. It was well worth the wait in my opinion.

[@StephanieBenner-tj3xd]

@@vibewithmike I would agree! I've spent many hours at the Canal waiting for ships, and have never regretted one of those hours. 😍

[@vibewithmike]

@StephanieBenner-tj3xd those are hours that we really never need to get back because it helps us relax and have some legitimate downtime while having some fun

[@critterscute3642]

Pretty awesome and exciting Mike! What a fun video. Impressive!!

[@vibewithmike]

Thank you, my friend! I hope you are doing great. It’s always nice hearing from you. You always leave a nice comment.

[@shawncosmos5431]

Good work pal! Very awesome footage. 3:16 I never get tired seeing breaking waves there. Amaxing Lake Superior!!! Thanks!

[@vibewithmike]

Excellent timestamp!! I’m glad that you enjoyed that part. It’s always fun putting these clips together with these beautiful ships.

@@vibewithmike As I’ve mentioned before I grew up in South Carolina. Spent lots of time in Charleston so I’ve seen lots of ship traffic. But the Great Lakes is just amazing to me . Ships from the other side of the world ending up in the middle of the US. Thise breaking waves look rougher then he Atlantic. And I had no idea they had cruise ships like thst on Superior..Thanks again for these videos.

[@vibewithmike]

@shawncosmos5431 I have been to North Carolina, but I never made it to South Carolina however, I’ve heard wonderful things about the place. A short drive to the ocean anywhere in South Carolina.

@@vibewithmike I’m living outside of Columbia now and can be on the Charleston coast in just over a couple hours. And in 31/2 we’re in the Appalachian mountains…

@shawncosmos5431 do you live in a perfect spot where you can drive to all of the cool stuff

That is one gorgeous cruise ship! Love the sleek look of the bow on her. The Duluth Harbor Lift Bridge looks great lit up at night. The Viking Polaris looks great all lit up. I always dreamed about how cool it would be to take a Viking cruise ship vacation on the Rhine River in Germany. I've seen commercials of the ships going past Castles on the Rhine. Have you ever taken a cruise ship holiday out of Duluth Mike? That would be a spectacular video of you taking a video of it. The Polaris just effortlessly sails down that canal. That looks like so much fun! Thanks for the great video Mike... I always enjoy and look forward to them. ⚓🚢⚓

I have never been on a cruise ship. I have so many people that have told me that I need to get on a cruise ship. I’ve always thought that it’s too claustrophobic. However, I’ve seen many videos and pictures that prove that I’m wrong. I have a friend of mine that’s on a cruise ship right now. I’m waiting to hear about what he hast to say about it. I definitely will get on a cruise ship at some point. I can almost guarantee that I will say to myself, why didn’t I do this earlier?

[@CarlWieman-ic3kr]

We were on the sister ship, Viking Octantis last year from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Toronto as it made it's way to the Great Lakes for the summer. We thought about going to Duluth a few weeks later to see it and say HI to all the great crew and surprise them. We live in Owatonna, MN so it is only about 3 hr drive.

[@vibewithmike]

So tell me what you think, was it worth the trip, is there any details you can provide that? Tell us how awesome it was?

[@Mental_Illboy]

I'm impressed by how big the great lakes are and the ships. Just watched a video about the great lakes. (I'm from Europe)

[@vibewithmike]

I hope you’re doing great. It’s wonderful hearing you from Europe. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day. All the best to you.🙏👍⛴️

It was the first time that this ship has ever left this late! It was the darkest and I was able to finally see the lights on this ship at night

Thanks friend! I think it’s cooler being one of those passengers. Can you imagine the trip that they had?

[@NorthshoreLover-gk7zv]

Awesome cruise ship video. I love how you are always switching things up and making it exciting. I would love to go on one someday.

[@vibewithmike]

That’s what it’s all about, you never wanna do the same thing over and over. That gets redundant and boring.
