Walter J McCarthy Waves Depart, fans get wet !

[@susanfaulkner2304]

This is the heart of America. We Americans are proud of our GREAT LAKES. Being descended from Mohawks, I am more proud of our land and the expanse of our country.

[@relentless3735]

This just might be one of my new favorites Paul! Not too dark out, not too light, kinda ominous yet kids having a blast and screaming with sheer excitement. The waves and all of the lights on. Yeah, this is beautiful 🙏🏼 Thank you!

@Neil Ricardo Did you find out anything juicy? 🔍 🦹🏼‍♂️

Great video. Loved the waves!! Thanks

Great vid! I was born/raised in Detroit, now live in Cleveland. Love the Great Lakes - watching freighters up in Duluth is on my bucket list. Cheers!

[@standaniels6683]

Duluth won't disappoint ya. There's so much to do and see..no matter the season.

Agree, never thought I'd have a big reason to visit Duluth but I need to get up there!

[@racerj2.03]

My mother was born in Floodwood. I will not say how long ago even if she has passed on, for it might give away my age. Lol. My aunt and uncle lived blocks away from the lake for a very long time. It was from there that I was introduced to the lake. I will never forget the first time that I visited the harbor entrance. Finding your channel brings back good memories from a VERY long time ago! Just Saying.

[@nickkaye176]

Wonderful video. So much different from me watching the cross channel ferries out of Dover in the UK. Worlds apart. Would love to pay a visit to Duluth one day.

D R A M A T I C ! Best exit EVER !! Thanks for sharing.

[@raymondmundt1159]

This is a very different view of the ships departing. Very Good I Loved it. Keep up the Great work. Every time I visit Duluth I Always spend time at the Shipping Canal and eat at Grandma's. Great Onion Rings.

[@janicesullivan8942]

This makes me miss Lake Michigan, and living in The Upper Midwest Great Lakes Region.

[@MarkShepard]

nicely done. enjoyed the change of speeds and then turning to see the vastness of the lake as the ship heads out into open water past the light house. thanks!

[@donrobertson4611]

Great video. I feel virtually drenched!

[@PaulScinocca]

Good! Thats what I was shooting for 😂

[@clayz1]

I really love these Duluth vids. This one’s just as good, and the kids playing in the spray was a nice touch. May be sailors some day if they love the sea so much. Sooner or later they will know the salty taste of ocean spray. The great lakes collectively are the largest body of fresh water on earth. That lowers maintenance requirements on shipping vessels a whole bunch.

[@asafaust8869]

Good info. Fresh water vs salt water.

[@livin4life]

Awesome, thank you for documenting that.

[@thxdts]

Very cool! Makes me wish I lived near there! I'm an hour from Port Huron and in the Detroit area, so at least I have some great spots to watch the freighters!

[@timoftedahl956]

I have family in Duluth and spent my summers watching the ships come and go. Always love when I can visit with my daughter now

[@TheDude-yw4kn]

Tim Oftedahl I hope they aren’t complicit in getting that racist bigot Ilhan Omar elected for Congress. She is a fraud and should be tried for treason! She’s an embarrassment to Minnesotans

You bet

[@joewoodchuck3824]

The precise maneuvering in such a narrow channel is impressive. You'd think they'd need tugs for that.

[@vernwallen4246]

Most of the BIG freighters have bow and stern thrusters.⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Haulover Inlet for bulk carriers

[@brettfavreify]

That stern wave gets 'em every time. They are always looking the wrong way.

[@rickbarrie294]

Always impressed how the crew manoeuvre these huge vessels through the canal without needing a tug/tugs for stability/safety. 👍👍👍👍

[@wherearethemoderates175]

[@philcrase7425]

That channel is fairly narrow...a little wind sets up a pretty nice chop, still worth getting a little wet to watch arrivals and departures...but that's what foul weather gear is for.

[@carolhurd1919]

What a superb job well done

Do the Great lakes have tides like in the Ocean?

Technically...no. The bodies of water are not large enough to have a tide on a scale that would count.

With a good N.E wind, the water level rises quite a bit. Your Erie tilt is pretty close

@@PaulScinocca Thank you sir.

Now that's a biggun. Is it just me, or did the water come up a little bit as the ship came through the canal?

[@PaulScinocca]

Most likely it is the waves it creates bouncing off the pier walls and the ship, it magnifies the waves a bit.

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Why were those piers built so low? Dangerous!

[@PaulScinocca]

The water is normally about 12' below the Pier walls. This video was shot at the end of a pretty good storm blowing the water into the harbor causing a large water level change.
