Paul R Tregurtha arrived in Duluth this afternoon for winter layup. Thick ice slowed things down a bit.

Its gotta be a welcoming feeling to see people at the dock as you're returning for the final time of the season. You can tell be the amount of people that come to watch these ships come and go threw out the shipping season. What this commerce means to this area. Its JOBS, Its 💰💰💰 to there families and friends. And even as we watch the end of the shipping season. It's the beginning of another season for a ARMY of fabricators and maintenance workers to start there work and make there 💰💰💰. This is what America is all about, You get good at your skill. You work hard and you'll be rewarded for it. I have a buddy that goes up and lives in Perrysburg, Ohio with 3 other guys that work on ships all winter long in the short lay up season. He's a grain farmer in the spring threw the fall. And a welder and fab. Man in the winter. And makes dam good coin doing so.

very good video out here on the east we watch whales and the fishing fleet come. i get scared of a last hurrah. i think of a last farewell in gordon lightfoot song the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. and the roger Whittier song of a naval battle and the words "you are beautiful" make me feel happy now i am happy it is only a last time for this shipping season and time for routine season of maintenance and repair in preparation of the shipping fleet for next shipping season. very similar to the song of turn turn a season under heaven.....

I really enjoy watching these big ships come in and out. I am from the UK and I never even knew this shipping existed on the Great Lakes. That's what is so good about You Tube. You can learn so much from good well produced channels like Duluth Harbor Cam. Reading comments, it is obvious there is a lot I do not know about the world around North America. I am intrigued that we are already nearly half way through meteorological winter and one third through astrological winter, there is ice everywhere, yet only now is the "shipping season" ending. That seems late to me. Love to know more about this.
@jonathanellsworth212 жыл бұрын
You’d probably need to talk to someone who works on one of these ships or companies to know for sure… but in this day in age I think the season start and end is determined by the lock system rather than ice, they schedule ten or more weeks for maintenance, and since the ships are completely dependent on those to get around there’s no point in sailing regardless of the weather. Of course if the lakes freeze solid (which is quite rare, they store a lot of heat from summer but can happen) that’s also a problem
@JJ-kz7sm2 жыл бұрын
Thing were backed up and delayed because your genius president, Biden, didn't allow non union work to unload boats. This is a major contributor to the supply chain crisis happening. Delays mean ships are out on the lakes late into the season. On another note, anyone who doesn't know the great lakes were and are used as major shipping route is seriously uneducated.
@JJ-kz7sm2 жыл бұрын
Furthermore, the lakes basically never freeze over completely. Last time superior was even close to total freeze over was 1979 at 94% froze. Read an article, it doesn't take long. Average freeze over is 55% covered. The massive volume of water in the great lakes rarely freezes is an understatement. Rarely means, in this case, basically never.
