Even though they don't look as big as ocean storm waves, they have an EXCEEDINGLY short wavelength and that water is wicked cold/frigid. After 24 to 48 hours of constant hogging and sagging in those conditions it's no wonder so many ships have gone down without any mayday/distress calls. I don't even want to imagine what that must've been like. No time for lifeboats or even life-preserver's, just enough time to realize that this is it...the end.

I heard Lake Ontario doesn't freeze over due to its depth.

Is the boat even moving...

Sometimes I think calling the Great Lakes “lakes” is rather like calling the Grand Canyon a ditch.

I hope you crew makes 6 figures

Great footage Cap! I was a deck cadet then 3rd mate on the Black Bay in 1980-83. I then sailed with George Turner as 3rd, and 2nd mate on the Hon. Paul Martin from 84-87. People don't believe me when I tell them how much lakers flex in storms. I'll point them to you video,. Thanks

It sounds unbelievable that over 200 ships have sunk in Superior, a lake. It's really a landlocked ocean!

Hiw do the 80 year old boats take the abuse isnt the metal weak by then?

can't even imagine how many wrecked boats and ships are under the great lakes! I never understood why I use to hear about the rough water in the lakes. Had no concept. And this isn't even on an open ocean or sea! UGh = would never want to be there though interesting to watch what the power water really has..

I grew up and still live on lake Ontario... The lakes are beautiful and are alive with many moods. Get caught in a storm, pray. God bless all who work in these majestic waters

Is this hare on the Oceen or the Rivar?

Does anyone know where the love of God goes, When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I turn the volume down and listen to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald while watching.

That would be terrifying.

Wow that looks like an open sea in a storm. I wouldn't have guessed it was a lake. I'm sorry I'm not from the Great Lake region, I honestly wouldn't have known.

👍

Why not just build a factory and make whatever the hell it is that this ship is carrying?Cheaper?no deaths??

I love to see lake has such kind of wave 👋

I'm a newbe to these videos but I would say those are some heavy seas! Stay safe out there!

Amazing footage!! What a weather! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

My brother is a Mariner. Having sailed both on the ocean and the Great Lakes he said at sea, you can sail around storms most of the time. On the lakes, you have to go through them.

How are guys not scared sh*tless? So much respect 🫡

Even on Georgian Bay the storms could get rough and waves would go over the marina dock and swamp boats

It just occurred to me that it's November.

You have to be one hell of a Captain to endure Nov.on the lakes.

People hear the word "lake" and associate it with benign, tranquil, sparkling warm waters, maybe taking the ol' canoe out for a leisurely paddle, etc. . . .HA! Those that don't live around the Great Lakes are shocked to learn of the insane seas these lakes churn up every single year - often more dangerous than out in an ocean. We live in a village southwest of London, and are a five minute drive from Port Glasgow on Lake Erie. We have spent many a day at the beaches here but boy, can the conditions on these waters change without warning. We have seen the lake go from smooth as a mirror to 12-14 foot waves slamming into the cliffs/escarpments along the shores within the hour, and that's in the summer time, never mind being out in the middle of these lakes with no shoreline in sight, during a November Witch. The people who sail these giant ships have nerves of steel.

I had no idea the Great Lakes got that shitty

Grew up on Superior and live on Lake Michigan. The personality of the lake is on display whenever she wants it to be.

I've seen the waves on lake erie. It's not pretty how fast the weather can change. I appalled these brave men and women that do this job everyday. Thank you

I stopped watching from the anxiety this caused.

I thought they anchor in harbor if it gets bad out?

Damn that looks like fun! Can someone please get me a ride?

I often hear people refer to waves or seas as being of a certain size. For example, "we were in 10 foot seas". " Does anyone know how large the seas are around 3:50?

Geez Louise, I could hear the metal creaking at times. These guys must have nerves of steel.

Happy to subscribe; love the video🥰

Am I seeing things?or can I see slight vertical movements of the hull just aft of that breakwall in the bow

There are some videos showing even larger seas than these, but these pictures are of waves that are more massive than than they appear here.

They don't look like lakes they look more like seas or oceans..... I figure the waves are more frequent is because of the size of the lakes being smaller then seas or oceans and their depths fluctuating more then seas or oceans.... I been to 4 of the great lakes the only one I never been to is Huron.....

I have to say with the age of the fleet and how many storms they must have seen, I am surprised to see them taking these waves so head on. I'm not an engineer but I know metal fatigues.

Back in 76 I was on a big ore boat in 60ft swells the engines gave out I had to jump in the icy waters with nothing but a tow line in my mouth I swam near bouts 15 nautical miles with ship in tow to port the lord saw fit we survived and saved our load of silly putty! Let’s just say those orphans had a wonderful Christmas

At least it wasn't November, or November in 1913.

The whistle in the background, nice touch 👌

I've read & heard that foreign,ocean crews do not like the Great Lakes especially during storms. They are said to be worse for a variety of reasons,some of which have been stated here in the comments.

Fascinating footage. Greatest level of respect to all that have and will serve on the lakes

Would love to experience a ride on one of those lakers I have worked in northern Minnesota and the UP of Michigan in the past and being from West Texas those big ships intrigued me.

If these conditions are worse than oceans , why don't they design these freighters more like ships than big bathtubs? It seems a bit strange.

👍👊👊

Fi were on this ship I would prolly be wearing diapers, but that's just me.

Just throwing this out there but there were two Edmund Fitzgerald’s. The first one was a schooner that went down and the more famous “Big Fitz”
