Hello... Greetings from Holland...

[@msmagsmn]

Yay! Here's to a good season - can't wait to see the big ships!

[@glemire7511]

Sounds like the bridge horn has a frog in its throat.

[@jettechdonatkins]

I am ready for the awesome freighters to start running again! Hoping for a safe season for all! Looks like Paul S. is going to miss the start,but looking forward to his videos,as well as all of the DHC's! Thanks for this video👍🏻✌🏻

[@michaelborgelt1600]

I think Paul is up to date. Let´s wait. Greetings from Germany : - )

[@jettechdonatkins]

@@michaelborgelt1600 Paul is healing but still not up and around but hopefully very soon! Hope all is well with you Michael! Greetings from Wichita,Kansas,USA

The Big ships will awaken from their hibernation

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

YEAH! I'm glad the Season is going on !! To All our Sailor's be Safe, and Thank You for hauling our stuff, and keeping our Country going !

[@sjoeld57]

The Presque Isle left Erie late this afternoon heading to Two Harbors. The Michipicoten left Erie yesterday. We still have the Saginaw and I think the Kaye Barker at Donjon Ship Building. They're waking up and on the move again.👍

Welcome ships and welcome spring💐

Here comes the sun 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

I was stationed on the Cutter Woodrush (a buoy tender just like this one) in Sitka Alaska

[@markhavingfun]

Exciting being able to see this live from Grand Rapids MI. Loved how Hollyhock let Neah Bay take the lead through the last bit off ice into the canal. Wish a safe 2022 to all ships.

[@markhavingfun]

Another suggestion for the CG cutters would be daily updates with pictures when out ice breaking. I watch and have seen them assisting through the White Shoal Lighthouse sight but actual pics from on board would be sweat! If allowed?

[@markhavingfun]

Amazing how 225ft long looks on video. Doesn't do it justice.

[@jimc1729]

@EagleKeeper1916 You, on the other hand, have nothing better to do but leave rude comments on the internet.

[@pamelahouser3487]

I grew up in Port Huron where the USCGC Hollyhock has been stationed…it is great seeing her being included in the intro to the 2022 Shipping year.

[@erbewayne6868]

From p h also.

[@terryday9637]

Welcome world. Happy spring

[@djor316]

I am so looking forward to ships coming in.

[@suzannemarienau2760]

I am too!

[@janecarlson2978]

Yahoo. I am ready for the shipping season.

[@r.a.hassel8006]

The Cutter Spar which will be the new Cutter home ported in Duluth, is on it's way as well. Last I checked it was in the St Lawrence Seaway, just south of Montreal.

[@rchuyck]

Heard that the ice was 5' thick in areas

[@blackmoom]

Here comes spring! 😃

[@fairmaidenvoyage87]

It's been a long winter. This makes me so happy!

[@sporty1701]

Let the games begin!!!

[@paf950]

Can Spring be far behind?

[@davidpearson3304]

Spring officially arrived Sunday morning at 11:33am eastern standard daylight savings time. You missed it. ;)

[@margaretyoung4262]

I’ve been wanting for this! Had my calendar marked yay!

[@Capecodham]

no life

[@jasonbabila6006]

I never knew the CG has a vessel named Neah Bay in the great lakes, Neah Bay along the shores of the west end of the Juan De Fuca straits between WA and Canada.

[@janach1305]

I grew up on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and am watching this video because of the name of this ship. Hurrah for Neah Bay, on the Makah Reservation.

[@d.pierce.6820]

Amazing how the canal seems to stay unfrozen all winter...

[@voronya]

Yay!! I am so excited for the season to start. Awesome vid! Go USA!!

[@Dog.soldier1950]

Helped build Neah bay

[@oceansoul3694]

I bet that is quite a story!

[@pdt4776]

Not sure what it is about this web cam but it is mesmerizing.

[@David-wu7jj]

Can't wait for the season may GOD BLESS ALL CREWS AND SHIPS ON THIER JOURNEYS

[@oceansoul3694]

AMEN!

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Semper Paratus💖💝

[@mikbeauregard8493]

I heard the horn go when i was working on park point and i thought wtf how is a ship coming through right now but ive recently become very intrested in ships so im excited

[@x2bate]

It's so nice to hear the "salutes" again. New season!

[@jeanwilson9925]

🤗🤗🤗saw them in the harbour, missed this!

[@alisonkint1065]

So excited for this season to start

[@Capecodham]

no life

[@mikekellum6238]

These Bay class tubs replaced the Arundel class 110 foot tubs. I rode the USCG WYTM 96 Chinook out of Curtis Bay Md from 1978-1980. Ice breaking duties in the Chesapeake was part of our actions.

[@catmom1561]

And let the season begin!! Can't wait to see the big ships moving through!!

[@Capecodham]

And it begins, horns blasting peaceful neighbors.

[@normansilver905]

Another example of the fine service the USCG performs daily to promote safe waterway transit.

well said

[@RailFanRob]

Your footage is always so awesome. Did CN find a buyer yet for the Great Lakes Fleet?

[@Capecodham]

footage?

[@armorer94]

I'm from Port Huron, I was wondering where the Hollyhock has been.

[@robertkaspert4092]

I never get tired of watching. I grew up watching on the Detroit River still watching all these years later.

[@annahasty7191]

😁❤

[@joedesautel6092]

The other ice cutter is still in Duluth for ice cutting did the spar have to do ice cutting some where else the ships are moving good in the canal

[@robertsole9970]

A good tort

[@georgephillips1185]

🤙. Thank you. Great footage

[@lvkexc1401]

salutes: 4:28 5:05

[@SmokefromtheJay]

CG on top wooo

[@tehscope9422]

That looked more like slush plowing than icebreaking .

[@Edwardmodos]

Smokers...

[@jonathanellsworth21]

Lol, missed the part where the Hollyhock gets stuck in the middle of the channel and has to back out, but that would be WAY too long a video lol. Hilarious though!

[@markhavingfun]

Stuck or holding back for Neah Bay to take on the last piece?

[@jonathanellsworth21]

I don’t know for sure, took them awhile, over 20 minutes though to figure it out

[@myroncoleman9825]

So glad to see the shipping season start I live in a land locked state of Lex Kentuc KY but I love to see the big lakers God bl ess the workers and the captains of the big boats

[@rss021815]

I have never seen the Hollyhock out of her berth. So cool!!

[@Kathleensailorgirl]
