Soo Locks Last Ship 2023-2024 season

[@danieljohnson3003]

I’ve never seen someone swing off a moving ship before. Amazing. Locks were great too. Thank You

[@miapdx503]

Props for that horn! That must be the jazziest salute I've ever heard. I salute you Captain 🌹⚓

[@PeteDavidson-yl3ps]

It’s frozen with ice….. Some of the big rigs arrive with 40 dB levels during winter vs 100+dB in the summer months….depending on the thickness of ice covering the horn/s…

[@ronaldmorrison6013]

Social media is filled with ridiculous content. Thank you for this.

[@richardlee1092]

Salute sounds like a baritone saxophone, very cool!! 🎷

[@trainnerd3029]

Reminded me of the theme from Jaws

[@derjaeger3321]

bass trombone

[@brianlewis727]

Captain Scott Hein is an absolute beast with his Philip R. Clarke. He is a great ambassador for Great Lakes shipping. He never hesitates to let off a salute and play to the crowd in Duluth or at the Soo. His wife, Mary, is another awesome human being. I hope Philip R. Clarke is having a good offseason and the engineers at the Locks are keeping warm. Essayons!

I’ve been watching Ships go thru the Soo Locks for 63 years (all summer time & fall). First time to see one in freezing weather. I wish my Dad was here to see this 😃. He’s the reason I love “up North Mi “. We come from Lenawee Co down State . Thank You for posting ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kenbell7857]

Wow brings back memories. I loved the winter sailing.

[@J.P.W.]

Excellent video. Thanks for producing and posting this for us!

[@gingerbread6614]

Great shots . Best one we have seen. And the horn. Thank you so much.

[@atomicwedgie8176]

That buzzer scared the crap out of me! lol

[@jeffpotipco736]

Wait till you hear it at 2am. 4 blocks away.

[@richhamill6143]

Awesome. Thank you for getting out there to bring us these videos.

[@stevenequinepics]

Thought I was seeing things when, was it the pilot swung over the side and stepped off. Incredible lol.

[@bborjd]

Ship's crew line handler

[@GregLivovich]

Deck ape. I was proud to be one.

[@songtrush2711]

So interesting. Always watched the webcam. Now to be nearer to the real action is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@ottosaxo]

You can be a lot closer to the action watching the Brunsbuttel locks. But of course, that's not the Soo. On the other hand, they need no winter break there.

[@tuxedotservo]

It's a close contest between the Clarke and the John G. Munson for the best "Jaws in near" cold horn on the Lakes. I think the tone on the Munson is just a tad lower in tone.

[@coldspring624]

Now that is a great capture of the locks and they that pass

[@buoy77micmacmark]

I want to be the guy swinging off the side.. 😂

[@bobcote1375]

That was neat!! Where you were standing is that a spot that anybody can stand when you asked for the salute? I want to take my family up there and that is a great view. Thanks.

[@runnikee6986]

No, that spot is not open to the public.

[@usacedetroit975]

This was taken from the secure part of the Soo Locks facility. However, the last Friday of every June we host Engineers Day and allow the public to cross the locks. This year it will be held on June 28.

[@bobcote1375]

Ok thanks 😊

[@pata299]

anyone see the fellow get off ship?

[@judyschmidt4547]

I thought I was seeing things. Thank you,y saw it to.

[@NorthernElevations]

Wet cool to see the Clarke from all angles and from so close too. Her salute sounds very…fun? Just sounds like a happy salute!

[@anthonygiglio9860]

Great Video😊

[@superdave577]

The sound the ice makes breaking against the ships haul is nerve racking.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

It sounded like the air horn had a healthy dose of ice or snow in it,

[@þþþþþþþþþ]

I was gonna say, even the air horn sounded cold.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

@@þþþþþþþþþ Oh Yeah that's about it..

[@soupbowlbandit5831]

Cold air makes them more crisp and you can hear the diaphragms almost.

[@flyship]

Great Videos

[@macdawg6403]

Nice Vid!

[@hobbyhermit66]

Pret tee kool.👍

[@sarcasmunlimited1570]

He should just park that thing right there, so he can be the first one out when the locks open again.

[@9_19Ming]

I love this bulk carrier🤩😍😍💙💙💙

[@Budni_Rechnika]

С ума сойти,кораблю 72 года!В это же время режут на гвозди 10-20 летние суда..Выглядит огромным,228/21Спасибо за видео!

[@deezelfairy]

I'd guess sailing in fresh water, not salt water is why the great lake freighters have lived so long.

[@sc1338]

Hottttt 😊

[@tammyleathers7751]

❤❤❤❤

[@ronandmarianbassett8650]

Is this ship heading up stream? Where will it dock for the rest of the winter?

[@robertloney393]

It must be heading downstream b/c it was lowered in the lock, not raised.

[@jeffpotipco736]

Downbound. I used to live right there.

[@dadsongs]

Wait a minute. Is that a boson's chair? Do people freaking do that every day? That blows my mind! 👍🏻

[@erbewayne6868]

Got to secure the lines.

[@usacedetroit975]

Every ship that comes through uses a similar if not same method.

[@Plastpackad]

Does he go back on ship the same way?

[@Plastpackad]

No safety harness with carabiner?

[@deezelfairy]

I'm amazed that's allowed in this day and age.

[@soupbowlbandit5831]

Questions, are the gates heated so they dont freeze?

[@usacedetroit975]

There are steam lines run across the gates to prevent ice buildup.

[@JohnnyLaps]

Yeah this should be the last boat through,judging by the ice.

[@usacedetroit975]

she was the last one through.

[@JohnnyLaps]

@@usacedetroit975 love this,jumping on your channel

[@randygravel2057]

How long do the locks stay closed?

[@epistte]

25th of March 2024. According to the USACE

[@elmehdiboumlic6565]

👍👍👍👍

[@zxczxc334]

Where this vessel go someone answer plss for my reviewer only thankz

[@sarcasmunlimited1570]

Probably the Caribbean, where they don't have snow.

[@GregLivovich]

It's either going up the St. Mary's River toward Lake Superior or down toward Lake Huron.

[@alexandersinclair9006]

​@@sarcasmunlimited1570it's an American flagged vessel. To big to get through Canadian locks on the Welland.

[@michellehughes3893]

The countess🎉

[@erbewayne6868]

Mot much ice.

[@usacedetroit975]

It's been pretty warm this winter season so far.

[@maryseidelman]

They won the 12 pizza's

[@jeffpotipco736]

Down bound

[@michellehughes3893]

1000 ft Freighter

[@gharker55]

The crunchy ice sound at beginning, sounds like the last Russian soldiers leaving Ukraine

[@vladislavkozodoev4245]

Сколько вижу это судно а не понимаю для чего оно предназначено

[@LokiOdinson-fz8ps]

Iron ore hauling. With the rare possibility of a load of coal or limestone.

[@vladislavkozodoev4245]

​@@LokiOdinson-fz8ps Интересно а в России такие появляются суда

[@alexandersinclair9006]

​@@vladislavkozodoev4245no. The American flagged ships stay on the Great Lakes. Mostly because only a few are small enough to go through the Welland canal
