The "Queen's" First Duluth Departure, with a little "attitude" and 68 k tons of Coal. Not Talkative.

[@michaelh1621]

Never get tired seeing “ Big Paul”!

[@ILikeGT_101]

Always cool to see the Queen thanks Paul

[@PaulScinocca]

Nice to catch her "maiden" voyage of the season

[@suzannemarienau2760]

Good to see the PRT starting her season. I wish her and all other vessels smooth sailing. 😊 Thank you for this video!

[@PaulScinocca]

Thank you too!

[@sjoeld57]

Thanks for adding that salute at the end!👍✌️

[@Bob.W.]

Thx. The season is upon us.

[@PaulScinocca]

LOL, The Queen makes it official!

[@jeremycox571]

Awesome video as always especially of the Queen

[@PaulScinocca]

Thank you very much!

[@mariowolf9884]

Yes always nice to see PRT in Duluth.

[@PaulScinocca]

It sure is!

[@60trickpa]

Thanks for adding the horn Paul.

[@PaulScinocca]

Just for fun, it's been a while since e we've heard it in my videos 😁

[@SteveMikre44]

I guess being told she was late didn't go over well with the Queen Paul R Tregurtha...👑⚓

[@PaulScinocca]

🤣 you did not disappoint me with the comment! well done Steve.

[@loonhaunt]

The controversial one. I wondered if it was inadvertent or ticked at being late. DHC took their video down and muted Radar and the added salute from a previous trip.

[@loonhaunt]

Go Radar

[@PaulScinocca]

I can imagine the salute was added purely for the people watching the KZbin video's entertainment factor. I decided to keep it authentic.

[@kathyk8148]

Radar?

[@PaulScinocca]

@kathyk8148 😁 Radar is one of the Rangers that works at the Museum, he is one of the voices you hear in the videos describing the info on the ships. It's been said he sounds a lot like Radar on the MASH TV show.

[@dennybarlau8065]

Thank you

[@gregmctevia5087]

Beautiful all the same. Salute or not.

[@blackmoom]

This Captain is very business-like on the radio, and isn't big on salutes, either 😒. Us nerds in the SE Michigan area are out of luck as far as hearing her robust horn anymore! Thanks for posting, always enjoy your videos.

[@loonhaunt]

Somebody got pssd though. DHC was forced to take down their video and delete Radar. As I said. Don't mess with mariners. The horn you heard was an edited one by Paul.

[@PaulScinocca]

I did add a Faux Salute to the end, with text stating it was added to the video. That is not Radar doing the Ship info talk.😁

[@loonhaunt]

@@PaulScinocca on the video that DHC took down they posted "taken from a previous visit" at the horn blast leaving port.

[@loonhaunt]

​@@PaulScinoccaso you're messing with me or been hacked. You said they didn't salute in the description then at screen bottom you wrote you added the "salute" at the end. I can't dispute about Radar. I first heard of him through you. I thought I had his voice narrowed down.

[@blackmoom]

@@loonhaunt I saw that one, too, they did say "horn from previous visit". Didn't know they took it down, though.

[@ianwestmoreland5950]

There's not a lot you can add to that Paul! 😂😂👍😃

[@PaulScinocca]

🤣

[@PegasusGamez]

Tregurtha legend❤

[@PaulScinocca]

indeed!

[@dennybarlau8065]

Paul do you know why,, she was in port For so long? Maintenance maybe

[@Notakebacks-sy6ji]

I heard ballast tank repairs

[@PaulScinocca]

Lots of steel work, ballast tank repairs and securing, welding.

"Another boat named after a rich guy. Classic." Our intrepid stats giver dishing out the social commentary - adding to the repertoire.

[@PaulScinocca]

she does share her opinions for free! I do get a kick out of her humor, especially in person.

[@loonhaunt]

​@@PaulScinoccayou just said the key word. "Humor".

[@tuxedotservo]

@@PaulScinocca I always look forward to what she has to say. Always adds a personal twist to the usual presentation. And no tolerance for slow ships! 😆

[@dianebeier8379]

I think this new announcer is too bold, don't care for her unprofessional comments, annoying, I prefer a professional take on a traditional ships.

[@by-amrcn]

So the queen is a diva now....

[@richardbause2453]

Nothing like an announcer with good additude to start a season 😮😂 ,Guess the Queen didn't like it 😮😢😂.

[@wvincus5522]

I suppose Karen, the announcer thinks the ship should be named after a random loser rather than a successful businessman that has “$$ skin” in the game. Honoring PT was the right thing to do. Sorry Karen!

[@loonhaunt]

I don't think you'll gain too many friends here if you're mocking Radar's job performance

[@wvincus5522]

@@loonhaunt The truth is difficult to take. Disrespecting PT is disgraceful.

[@loonhaunt]

@@wvincus5522 LoL

[@PaulScinocca]

That was not Radar doing the speaking.

[@loonhaunt]
