This Ship Ran Aground!?

[@TOTALCAMARO]

Thank you for updating us on the outcome. I just seen the morning news report. Keep up the good work 😊

[@ConnorTenold]

Thank you! Will do!

[@BryanPhillips-dt7gd]

God, where would you be without your morning news! Let's stop the world so you can catch up

[@beaurex4756]

It's shocking to think this is the first large Great Lakes vessel since 1981. When I was a child, the Detroit River was the busiest waterway in the world.

New subscriber. Excellent content and photographs. New does not mean proven. Life will go on. Amazing the ship traffic on the Great Lakes. Thank you for your video!!🇺🇸

[@ConnorTenold]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

[@adriannegrillo8394]

Very nice Connor! Kudos to the tug! Way to go!

[@ConnorTenold]

Thank you! People forget how important tugs are in shipping

[@mikeynth7919]

I've been on the Detroit River for many years and seen quite a few groundings. Outside of the channels it gets shallow fast.

[@halfmil6467]

The Mark Barker sounds a lot like "McBarker"- Mr Magoo's dog. Who was steering the ship? Magoo, you've done it again!

[@HahnJames]

Wow! I had not heard about this but, I don't live in the Detroit area anymore having moved upstate. If you had to ground a ship, the north side of Belle Isle would be a good choice. It's not rocky there at all. It catches a lot of silt sent down river from Lake St. Clair. I am looking forward to your next video!

[@ConnorTenold]

Was lucky for the ship that it headed in that direction after the power loss.

[@markwhite4350]

The fact that all it's technologies are new is probably why it lost power. Maybe the tier exhaust gas treatment system malfunctioned. Maybe one of the 18,000 engine sensors malfunctioned. Our push for green solutions has drastically degraded reliability of new diesels.

[@halfmil6467]

The holding tank for the head was too full.

This video is pretty cool, best video so far!!!!

[@ConnorTenold]

Thanks man!

[@biscayne66]

I heard the check engine light came on.

[@USS_Grey_Ghost]

That crew must feel salty

[@davedrouillard3740]

surprised this does not happen every week...giant ships & tiny channels..saw 2 ships side by side off grosse isle years ago the one ships props were throwin mud it was so close to the drop off.....

[@JH_75]

The problem will likely turn out to be rather unexciting. Like other modern modes of transport, this ship has countless fly-by-wire technologies and I suspect something in the controls, etc., had a "relatively" minor failure causing loss of navigation or engine control.

[@BryanPhillips-dt7gd]

All your tech is only as good as the programmers .

[@wardcollins9574]

Loss of power? It makes me wonder what kind of emissions are on the engine, big diesels seem to suffer a lot from these issues, even to the point that a little $5.00 hose will cause a loss of power, and it can look perfectly fine, a semi I drove had such an issue and the dealer would reset the computer and I would drive about 100 miles and it would derate, it cost me more then $2000.00 to find that a little rubber hose that looked fine that cost $5.00 was the problem pluse many hours setting in a shop.

[@edmctug8800]

EPA BS sensors !old mechanical diesls with no computers better !

[@jimwhall6609]

@@edmctug8800 I don’t mind the sensors…IF they don’t have the power to shut down the engine. Reporting an issue is fine.

[@halfmil6467]

The DEF reservoir was empty.

[@wardcollins9574]

@@halfmil6467 That would do it.

[@jimkinner]

I wonder why they didn't use the bow thrusters to keep the boat offshore until a tug could reach them? Maybe they were out as well?

[@northstarstatepolitics1652]

Hate to see it. On the bright side, there was no damage, no environmental damage, and traffic was able to sail through with zero issues. So, overall, not the worst grounding in the world. Although it is kind of embarassing to Interlake considering thats their second boat to ground this year.

[@WndD_74]

And she’s (he’s) still a baby among the fleet…

[@ConnorTenold]

Its a good thing there was little impact on everything.

[@id10t98]

Nice excuse. Captain thought the amusement park was open and told they crew they were going to have some shore time.

[@aaronbuckel2337]

Is it a "green" vessel? Maybe the batteries died?

[@jamesnelson6980]

Look at the bright side... at least she's not the TITANIC.

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

Being new I'm not surprised it failed. It will be chock-a-block full of computers and electronics integrated by carpet baggers with long promises and no experience or understanding. Just like new cars and trains. (Hey Amtrak! How is that computerized Siemens stuff working out?)

[@wientz]

coal and steam had their problems at their early stages too...progress is not without headaches

[@ConnorTenold]

True

[@patrickt4384]

prolly has china parts

[@terryken12]

Being built in the last year is not necessarily a good thing as nothing is built worth a damn anymore.

[@tedsaylor6016]

Rumor is a emissions dohickey on the engine failed and shut it down

[@vernwallen4246]

🗽👍⚓

[@normansilver905]

No rise or fall from tidal changes so it will have to be lightened up to be refloated.

[@BL-jt3qt]

You obviously missed the updates that the Barker was simply towed back off of the shore line.

[@tahdrah55]

It’s Trump’s fault 😂
