Highway H2O - The Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway

[@franco00767]

Great video 😊

[@dan1of10bechtold6]

Well done, young man. Don't stop, you are worth hearing.

[@billyjoejimbob56]

Totally agree... you did an excellent job! Let me suggest a followup research subject to you: The first U.S. built Great Lakes freighter to be built since 1981, the Mark W. Barker, recently departed Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for its new home port of Cleveland, Ohio. The owner is Interlake Steamship, owned by the Barker family. Noteworthy is it size, Seaway Max in width and draft, and shorter than that to enable navigation in the Cayahoga River port of Cleveland. The first of a new era?... maybe. I'll bet if you requested an interview with Mr. Barker, he would agree in a heartbeat. Check it out!

[@TributetoCanada]

A masterpiece. Watched it today for homeschooling to learn about the St.Lawrence Seaway. How well this topic was covered by your professional video cannot be overstated! Subscribing!

[@canadaehxplained77]

Thank you so much! That means a lot!!

[@trainrover]

admirably true 👏 you masterfully weave comprehensiveness and conciseness together .. although I did relish chortling at stock footage of today's puppeteered corporateers as being representative of boldly passionate Edwardian entrepreneurs of yore just now 👀

[@molicar78]

Great Video. ¡Impresive! Very informative, interesting and entertaining. I'll be checking more videos. I'm watching from Puerto Rico.

[@chriskrebs6238]

Loved it always wanted to see great lakes and 🇨🇦

[@KevinTheNavigator1]

I really love this video can’t wait to do a video on the Great Lakes ❤very informative

[@xkiwi100]

congratulations on your video I lived in Welland in 1970 Thanks from Belgium

[@jayhopkins6990]

Hello from a fellow Wellander who started in sixty three and still lives in welland.🍁😁 Take care.

[@multaniloverofbeer]

My mom lived in Irquois Ontario while the locks were being built. She had the pleasure of watching all the houses in old Iroquois get moved to the new town. Her grandfathers very large brick house on their estate could not be moved and had to be abandoned as it was likely to be underwater. It broke his heart to leave and have it knocked down. Only to find out the engineers were wrong and his house and most of his estate was fine. I've seen some of the pictures my mom took while in highschool. Very neat to see. Miss you mom.

Great video

[@atsekoutsoube]

Well Done Lad. From an old shipping professional and geography enthusiast. I subscribed

[@zaptor1514]

Excellent presentation! You answered so many of my questions. There is so much information I’ll be replaying it. I remember in 1960 my parents took me to see the Indian Lock and the one near Cornwall. In 2017 I revisited them. Thanks for your presentation.

[@robg5176]

Well done! Thank you.

[@recycle343]

Thank you, very informing.

[@timdowney6721]

I was a kid living in Chicago when the St Lawerence Seaway officially opened. I recall a big to-do on the Chicago lakefront that my Dad took me to. A bit of history.

[@mohammadiqbalkhan2888]

Thoroughly enjoyable !

[@Captaink-1]

I grew up in the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario region of NY, and My Father was one of the Electricians who worked on the Robert Moses Power Dam. I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you!

[@yogitam2372]

Great video and very informative. I didn't know all this about our northern states and Canada. Thank you.

[@ivanscottself9077]

This was very informative and well done. Thank you for posting this.

[@maryj560]

Thank you for opening up alot of eyes to this great feat! loved it!

[@lollypopdrop3961]

This is so well done. I have viewed several segments again, and again. Your presentation makes this subject fascinating!

[@dremezyro6851]

wow, what a fantastically well made video. it contained exactly the information I needed, and the video part of it was just great, ive always wanted more of the google maps zoom things, makes it so much easier to wrap your head around.

[@craigs1266]

I enjoyed this video very much, thank you.

[@rakeshlamba7997]

Splendid video!

[@turkfiles]

Great job! Another Chicagoan here who remembers the official opening of the SLSW and the festivities that took place in Chicago.

[@JustMe-pp8mn]

Excellent presentation and very informative. I was going to say that this should be included in geography class. When I was young, I loved to go to the Snell and Eisenhauer locks in Massena, NY to watch the ships go through . Never got tired of seeing that, also visiting the power station.

[@timdowney6721]

LOL, when I lived in Seattle, I was in easy walking distance to the Ballard Locks. It is a nice park, and a pleasant place to spend a summer afternoon, watching the boats come and go. There is a fish ladder there, so you can see some big salmon in the right season, along with sea lions looking for a meal.

[@SirAdamMeek]

Thanks! Best vid on the Interwebs regarding this subject!

[@1pilotsteve]

Very Very well done young man..

[@dariogonzalez553]

You’ve earned yourself a subscriber, young man. Do you know what happens with all the dredged material and how much of it there is per year?

[@edthe2nd]

I was wondering how ships go from the great lakes to the Atlantic and this was perfectly done.

[@natecoyfishing]

This was so neat to watch! I do not know much about my great grandfather who passed in 1960, but I always remember hearing one thing... that he worked on the St Lawrence Seaway as a heavy machinery operator. He lived in a small trailer in Massena NY for a couple years while he worked there.

[@maryj560]

How cool your great grand dad worked here. Must be proud of that . I would be :)

[@jean-paulefford4817]

Nicely put together! tons of relevant research crunched into a short 20 min video, using it for my science class. Looking fwd to other ones.

[@TOTALCAMARO]

Great video but I’m going to have to watch it again just to get all those different locks straight in my mind lol Very informative thank you 😊

[@Sittingstraight12]

What a great video!! Thank you!

[@andrewriley4990]

This was an AWESOME presentation both informative and entertaining ......excellent work and THANKS for sharing 👍👍👍

[@tombrownca]

Wow, this Californian learned a LOT! We frankly never think about this region or how the Lakes drain to the ocean. I have Irish ancestors who nearly 200 years ago maybe worked on the locks near Cornwall. And others who left England for Quebec, eventually to NYC 60 years later. So, I came to learn, and I did!! Thank you! I think you could roll the credits with Gordon Lightfoot in the background at the end. 😊

[@jenniferkiger]

This was well done and so interesting, thank you!

[@ikmarchini]

Wonderful video. Answered all my questions. Also good to hear things from a Canadian perspective. You know, down below we think we invented oxygen.

[@bobm2331]

I think I would like to know if the bread I eat was made with wheat shipped in an iron ore ship😂. Man that's one cleaning job. Well done Sir. Leaned a whole lot as an American.

[@NTomlin575]

Thanks for the video. Good job!

[@richardwilliamtobin904]

[@davemi00]

The Welland Canal the final connection to the inner Great Lakes.

[@blackdogleg]

Could never come close to building anything like this now.

[@waltereskridge5055]

You've done a terrific job.

[@jeffreygraf3358]

oh, Parry Sound. i miss it! it has an amazing little bakery with the best cakes i ever had in my life. 🍰

[@rishikesh6791]

This was so informative.

[@oneanddonetzone3673]

Excellent well done! I’m thinking of sailing from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic Ocean so I’m starting my initial research thinking that perhaps maybe the St. Lawrence seaway would be the best but I don’t know yet but thank you for the information

[@jerryvandyke9216]

Hope you have LOTS of time. 😎🇨🇦

[@stilltoyin]

Just found you today!! Great vid, look forward to seeing more! Oh Canada!

Great video young man. Thank you.

[@519VXComanche]

Awesome video! Extremely well done.

[@thevoiceasian]

Thanks for this amazing Document. Really interesting. A true gem.

[@maxnikolenko2302]

First, congrats on Great narrating skills. Very informative, easy to understand and follow. Never dull or boring, never repetitive, or sounding unprepared for the topic. Research is there, and the video images are crisp, colorfull yet easy on the eyes. The angle shots of ships, lakes, maps nature, equipment and so one looks highly professional. Nothing shaky.... just Profesional grade camera shots integrating modern wide looks. My personal favorite types of video and or still camera film shots are of birds eye view types. That takes effort and skill. Lots of practice and dedication to keeping the camera still on a moving drone (unless you paid somebody to get those shots for you). I can go on and on with the praises but ultimately.... GREAT JOB 👍

[@canadaehxplained77]

Thank you!! I appreciate this so much!!

Very informative man! I'm a seaman myself but i work on mega container vessels on world wide trade. I hope i can travel in the great lakes one day if given the chance to work on some smaller ships. Anyways thanks for the video!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jayhopkins6990]

Don't forget St. Catherine's and Port Colburne. They both are at the beginning of the Welland canal.What? It is a vital connection between lake Erie and lake Ontario.

[@IanZainea1990]

RIP Edmund Fitzgerald. I live in Cleveland. And the port here is proud to note (and with reason) that we are the only Great Lakes container port (according to them) with regular shipments between Europe & Cleveland. So container shipping is 100% doable via the seaway, just not in the obscenely large ships.

[@besthighlightsshop]

the soo locks close jan15 and open sometimes in the last two weeks of march

How the ship can pass Niagara falls?

[@jonlog5286]

Great video buddy. You should do one on the Rideau canal waterway that connects Kingston with Ottawa. Built to move military supplies from Ottawa and Montreal to Kingston without being in range of American bombardment. My buddy and I canoed in this best summer its super cool. Cheers from Ottawa

[@canadaehxplained77]

Thank you! It's a topic I want to do soon - and an awesome suggestion! How was canoeing the canal!? How long did it take you guys??

[@519VXComanche]

And the Trent-Severn!!

Real cool.videos. Where do you live? I'm from Lévis across from Québec but i also spend several months a year in Vancouver. i miss travelling across Canada by train

[@elizabethbrower640]

I’m hearing Gordon lightfoot singing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald right now.

[@tonyedmond2475]

Question: are there any protocols for ships coming from the salty Atlantic Ocean into the fresh water Great Lakes? What about the actual water used to operate the locks?

[@Sugarsail1]

It's too bad all these great waterways go to places I never want to go to.

[@detlefkretschmer2917]

Actually, he is wrong. The canal he is talking about is the 4th version. Wikipedia: The First Welland Canal, constructed between 1824 and 1829 --- In 1871, locks on the St. Lawrence allowed transit of vessels 186 ft (57 m) long, 44 ft 6 in (13.56 m) wide, and 9 ft (2.7 m) deep --- Too small for modern use, obviously, but fine for the times. The actual one (Number 4) is already too small again.

[@christopherwelch136]

Soon to be a bygone era. Well presented though. 👍

[@Richard-od7yd]

Quebec didn't want the St Lawrence Seaway built so it could control the flow of goods without having to do anything . They would impose a" fee " to move the goods arriving from all over the world out of Quebec .

[@russiannorth2440]

I liked your video very much. and I recently posted a video of how a river tug transports people into the ice drift. Happy viewing.

[@jasoningram1988]

💫😇EYEWanTooSealloveLakeOntario'sealS😇💫 There have occasionally been reports of harbour seals inhabiting various lakes and rivers in Canada. The only lake in Ontario that had a seal population was Lake Ontario, but they went extinct in 1824 by overhunting. Ungava seals, a subspecies of harbor seal is one of the four known freshwater types of seal.

Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.🕊️💕Living righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏 🕊️ I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏💕 Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey You. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 💕 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏 Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. 🔥🕊️🙏💕 He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Praise God thank you Jesus. In Jesus name. 🕊️ 🔥💕🙏
