The M/V GLENN W. JONES on a Icy Mississippi River at Alton Illinois

[@bendickmann5460]

With each of these tow boat videos I gain an increasingly stronger appreciation for the dangers faced by the crews and the skills they possess to mitigate those dangers. No student should graduate from high school without learning about the men and women who accept these challenging careers to deliver products of many kinds for millions of people throughout the world. Thank you!

You need to do one that you can hear the ice crushing on the head of the tow. I love this channel its so cool im from Pittsburgh pa and worked on the river after high school. Good experience.

In December 1989,the Lower Mississippi was so choked with ice from Cairo Il to Helena Ar that for 3 weeks or so,we were restricted to daylight running only because the buoys were under the ice &/or off station. You could hear the ice grinding against the towboat's hull. I couldn't sleep my first 24 hours aboard despite not having to go directly on watch after boarding.

Круглогодичная навигация. В России навигационный период 5-8 месяцев с весны до осени

Beautiful photography, but ridiculous and annoying choice of music.
