Beautiful to be on board. I only recently found the Duluth web cam and the vids of Paul Scinocca. Never realized that you always have sounds around you, of course that's logical, I just never thought of that. Oh .. and my compliments to the person who washes the windows. Job well done! Thank you for taking us along. oops, 10 years ago ...

These great ships must have a shallow draft. When you look at the narrowness of this body of water they just passed through, you wouldn't think it would be deep enough to support this ship. All in all, pretty amazing to watch.
@GEES44DC7 жыл бұрын
Many places have been dredged to add depth.
@wendygoerl91626 жыл бұрын
They need to. The shallower the draft, the more ports they can serve. Lakers haven't even had external keels since the days of sail. Just the world's largest canoes.
@funnelvortex77223 жыл бұрын
Deeper keeled ships can access these channels since they need to accommodate salties, the lack of deep keels on designated lakers is moreso a cost saving measure.

I believe this ship is 103’ berth, 50’ depth (loaded), 1013’ length.

vikings844 I work on the ships on the lakes. It’s an interesting job and pays well but I would recommend only doing this job if you are single and not wanting a family. It’s hard when you have a girlfriend or kids whatnot. It’s a mentally challenging job and has great benefits. I have contacts if you are still interested 5 years later lol

the ferry does not have the right of way - Rule 9: "A vessel shall not cross a narrow channel if such crossing impedes the passage of vessel which can safely navigate only within that channel . . " This applies to sailboats too. The Tregurtha has right of way.
@davidwadsworth89826 жыл бұрын
Bill Thomas, absolute truth.I had a run into by a sail boat while transiting the Hudson River, while at the wheel of Niagara Prince. Sail boats son started screaming all the number and rules that did not exist. We won in Court.
@pickleboat456 жыл бұрын
Court? No question about the rules, shouldn't even go to court. But sail boaters do not know or understand the Rules of the Road. I saw the same situation going in the channel to Erie, Pennsylvania several years ago - a small sailboat tacked into the path of a freighter coming in - this is not sail over power right of way. A 600 foot freighter in a channel has the right of way.

@wendygoerl91626 жыл бұрын
"Manuvering evolutions"? They're in the St. Mary's--practically a weekly commute for them. They literally transit it around a hundred times a year. If you take a friend with you on your daily commute, do you refuse to talk to them while you're inches away from other cars (in the other lanes) going down the highway because you can't afford the distraction? When Dennis Hale was invited on the Roger Blough, the only restriction the captain gave was he and his friends weren't allowed in the pilothouse while the ship was docking. Otherwise, he let them have the run of the boat. Compared to some of the places lakers have to go, St. Mary's in daylight on a relatively calm day doesn't even demand a fully-trained wheelsman.
