It is fun to watch the Duluth harbor live cameras too.

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

I'll take a look. Thanks for Watching 👀!!

[@12345fowler]

You skills filming these ships are serious , and the real heros here are mother nature, and then these amazing ships. The two combined together makes it fascinating to watch. From an aviation nerd I could never imagine I would be in awe for theses ships and their environement, but here I am.

Thank You!! Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for Watching!!!!!!

[@IamValentina66]

Why is she being dry docked? Repair or maintenance?

Your Welcome Audrey!! Thanks for Watching!!

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Amazing. I grew up in Sturgeon Bay and didn't appreciate the work the shipyards did.

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Yes, there are a lot of dedicated people that do the work in such a short amount of time. I was born and raised in Sturgeon Bay and spent at about 25 yrs of it in the shipyards here in SB. Thanks for Watching!!

[@LynneAnn51]

Great flying, love hearing the pilots, such precision. Pros all the way around. Thank you Door County Drone. 👍👍

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thanks Again Lynne!! I Appreciate it!! Thanks for Watching!!

[@davewilkins4462]

The tug is the former USCG cutter Arundel, served on her 77/78

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

I believe the Tug you are talking about is the Erika Kobasic. I have her on another video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5bQgZVug7l-Z5Isi=QY_yfZ0lNtB542W0 Thank You for your service!! Thank You For Watching!!😊😊😊

Wow!! You outdid yourself on this one! Absolutely stunning views and loved the radio talk as well. I hope you catch every bit of all the ships leaving in the spring? :) Especially my Wilfred Sykes.

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thank You Robyn!! Glad you Enjoyed it!! Back in the mid 90's I worked on the Sykes when it was in for winter layup. Hopefully I can catch some going out in the spring. Sometimes work gets in the way LOL. Thanks for Watching!!

Such an icecold video. ♥️ it. Amazing views. I need to consider the Great Lakes as a destination to visit in winter.

I can feel the cold through my monitor. Fantastic video, beautifully shot, pin sharp. What more could you ask for? Thank you

This is the coolest video I've seen today and I've seen a lot. Amazing flying, Mark! Thanks for the sub, too!

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thank You!! Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for Watching!!😊

[@edog7059]

I know I'm about 6 months late in viewing these videos but aren't these vessels actually referred to as boats instead of ships? Is that because they only ply the fresh-water Great Lakes or is there a technical reason? These huge Lakers are a super interesting part of both the past and present of the awesome Great Lakes! Really nice video work and wonderful selection of music. Thanks!

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thanks EDog!! Yes on the Great Lakes they are called boats. But on the other hand supposedly a ship carry a boat if that makes sense. Thanks for Watching!!

Fantastic drone flying skills Mark! Your videos are gorgeous and beautifully presented. I've become a huge fan, keep them coming. I'm curious to know what drone you are using to get these tack sharp shots?

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thank You Andy!! I appreciate it!! I am using Mavic Air 2 shot in 4k60. Thanks for Watching!!

[@calendarpage]

Great video. I'm new to watching these ships; it's strange how exciting it is, whether you see them in the winter ice or in the summer. I have a question - how did the tug in the front get out from between the ship and the dock? It didn't look like there was enough room for it to turn around and go past the Miner. Maybe I missed something. Thanks.

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Thank You!! They put the miner tight to one side. They put a small tug in so she can sneak out. Thanks for Watching!!

[@dwighthitchens9838]

Great video thanks

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for Watching!!

[@gusjones9388]

Did that small tug stay behind the Mesabi Miner or was it able to sneak out between the ship and the dry dock wall?

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Gus She snuck out the side of the Miner. Thank You for Watching!!😊

[@ottavva]

3:50 how did the tug (from the stern) get out of the drydock ?? did it squeeze by ??

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

It had enough room to squeeze by. Thanks for Watching!!

[@hamradiojim6788]

...and I'd like to know what kind of drone flies so successfully in such cold weather! (I'm a licensed drone pilot myself.)

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Jim, It is a Mavic Air 2. I have tested it over land first in the cold never flinched. I do keep the drone and especially the batteries warm with the defroster in the vehicle. The batteries do warm up a bit while flying as long as you keep the drone moving. I am studying for the 107. Although I have been a licensed ham for 45 yrs. WD9EXO. Thanks for Watching!!

[@Kendallian132]

Was this before or after the Roger Blough had its fire?

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

This was after. Thanks for Watching!!😊

[@boe4448]

Thank you Mark, Nice video quality/editing and music. How does the stern tug get out of the dock? Stay safe and thanks again for sharing. Boe

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Your Welcome Boe!! They move the Miner a little closer to the dock probably to the south side then the tug can get by. Glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for Watching!!

The Jacquelyn Yvonne was built in 1943, The William C. Gaynor was built in1956, and the Jimmy L was built in 1939. Thanks for Watching!!

[@TeamDaenzer]

whats the miner in drydock for?

[@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson]

Usually when they go in the drydock they are in for a 5yr inspection so they can check the whole boat. Thanks for Watching!!

Yes as Kevin stated they have to be inspected every 5 yrs. She will sail in the spring after all the work is done. Thanks Again!!

I guess they have to squeeze that tug pulling her in by after they get her anchored down?!

Good question. I was waiting for a shot of the tug squeezing out.

Sorry, I ran out of battery power. I wish I could have got that shot too! Should have brought the charger with me. Thanks for Watching!!
