Hatch covers came loose.

The countess🎉

1000 ft Freighter

Mcsorely wanted to beat the Anderson to the Soo locks to save the transit time - at least until it was too late and he needed the Anderson to guide him and a lifeline. It cost him his life the ship and crew.

Strange way to give them a bath but whatever works.

I mean that's cool, much more interesting than watching something produced with an annoying mugging host of some description. Are you going to leave the ovoid coffer dams in place like that or are you going to straighten those out?

I love this bulk carrier🤩😍😍💙💙💙

The comments are interesting. I’m not a mariner so don’t feel I’ve got any right to say anything but it is interesting to read the comments along with all the videos I’ve watched about the ship wrecks up there. I do remember watching the news when it happened in 75.

I wish you guys would have a live stream of the construction of the locks posted here on YT. It be nice to turn in on occasions to see what is going on versus waiting on a short 1 minute time lapse.

Mixter knows his stuff. Others criticize, but know far (far) less and haven’t actually been to the wreck.

For years, I thought I had a very solid theory for the way the Fitzgerald went down. The one thing I could never explain was the sand over deck lids 234 and 5 watching and hearing you explain it I believe you’re right that ship broke up heart on the surface The section came down on a starboard list that impact caused all that sand to rush over the deck like that Andy would also explain the damage

A delight to listen to a man who's living his dream and enjoying his dream job. Go safe and stay healthy.

This is great. I live near another navigation wonder...The Seaway near Long Sault

I like his knowledge, but him critiquing Gordon Lightfoot is a bit much. I don't think Gordon said Wisconsin and Cleveland to be accurate, those fit the song better. Saying coming from some mill in Minnesota, or fully loaded for Toledo, just don't fit the song as much.

Is the full dataset available to the public?

Think the James R Barker and the Arthur M Anderson has the best salutes ( my opinion) , How many times did the Anderson go thru the locks ?

I have a feeling some of the welds holding the. Keel in repair didn't make it

Great video! These locks helped shape the history of Michigan.

Who is your intended audience? If its the general public, you probably lost a lot of people when you started using so many 50 cent words (Academese). Your vocab is most suited for mid level college students and above.

Wow, three years and no comments ! I have questions. Did you become qualified on steam and diesel at the same time ? Does the Lea still use the same Bunker c ? I worked in engine rooms on the Cdn. side in the 60 s. It was all steam experience. I varied from hand firing coal, to oiler, to fourth engineer. Oldest ship was built in 1906 and newest was built in the 60 s. Vast differences but as you know principle is the same. The old manual jobs are good teachers because you are aware of everything that is happening. So I worked with triple expansion, skinner unaflow and turbine. Enjoyed your conversation. Henry

Anybody that says they know what happened is a LIAR! THE ONLY SOULS THAT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SAIL THE FITZGERALD FOR ETERNITY1 No one else was there and there weren’t any survivors!

Thing that gives me pause on the Shoaling theory is Canadas coast guard dove the popular spot Fitzgerald supposedly hit not long after sinking and found no red paint skid markets or broken rocks indicating a collision. (Of course they could have just missed something, or even could be lying) The rocks west of Michipicoten island around Chummy bank north of Caribou Island should been dove too but weren't. Also the testimony from former Fitzgerald crewmen Richard Orgel and Red Bergner about the unusual flexing of the Fitzgerald during bad weather, McSorely himself supposedly calling it the "Wiggling thing". And the fact the keel was worked hard, McSorely never anchored in bad weather, and Fitzgerald was occasionally taking loads in the 70s that were more than what was intended in the design

I like that Ric ruffles people's feathers. Seems they tend to be the casuals and people who mostly know Fitzgerald from the song. While shipwreck enthusiasts and researchers in general arent as ruffled by him.

He should just park that thing right there, so he can be the first one out when the locks open again.

In 2016 my girlfriend was lucky enough to win round trip tickets on the Great Lakes Fleet. We went from Two Harbors and Gary. First choice was the Roger Blough, unfortunately that was the year she ran aground, So the second choice was the Gott, once again bad luck struck, Gott was repainting the guest quarters and they were unavailable, so Edgar Speer was our trip. It was a cool trip, I really enjoyed it. At the time I was near retirement for the Canadian National Railroad and shipping was something I already enjoyed. I had bought tickets for several years before this happened. I give those guys credit for that work. Very nice video, enjoyed it.

Brilliant viewing 💯👍

Wow thank you so much for sharing this. It is nice to put a face with the ship and hear about his journey. Very informative. Thank you Captain Alfson for taking time out to talk to us. Can't wait for the new season to start.

This is by far and away one of the most comprehensive presentations about large lakers you'll find on the internet. Great job Captain Tim!

Excellent presentation; both Captain’s style and information presented! Thank you so much!

would be nice to hear whats going on. Difficult to read whats going on and then watch it at the same time.

👍👍👍👍

awesome video!! thank you for sharing!!

I can not find his new book to buy not even on Amazon...anyone knows where to buy it in England??

FANTASTIC loved the video warm regards from england....ps/ how can I get your book in the uk please

Captain Scott Hein is an absolute beast with his Philip R. Clarke. He is a great ambassador for Great Lakes shipping. He never hesitates to let off a salute and play to the crowd in Duluth or at the Soo. His wife, Mary, is another awesome human being. I hope Philip R. Clarke is having a good offseason and the engineers at the Locks are keeping warm. Essayons!

The US Navy constructed two warship classes by modular design in the '70 & '80s. Both classes were plagued with cracking of superstructures, hull plates & fuel tanks throughout their careers. The Fitz had her max load increased three times. She carried very heavy loads and her hull did a lot of flexing throughout her career, by loading & offloading and of course the wave action (30 foot waves on her last trip & 26,000 tons of load). She lasted only 16 years. No one should discount the stresses on that hull which very plausibly caused her loss.

Very cool data thank you for sharing.

Great. Video

Can Coast Auxillary serve w active duty and teservist on cutters?

Awsome video @

Great presentation!! Thank you!

Hey....the Purvis is not a cargo ship. She is a stand alone tug and not paired with a barge.

May God bless all those in the soon working on the locks. I've been through the Soo locks many times on the Katmai bay.

Down bound

Excellent video. Thanks for producing and posting this for us!

Where this vessel go someone answer plss for my reviewer only thankz

I’ve never seen someone swing off a moving ship before. Amazing. Locks were great too. Thank You

i was on a pier way out during the white hurricane storm and i got hit by giant waves for hours but i licked a pole so i didnt get washed off cause my tongue was stuck......i dont mind cold water cause i have an uncle thats a leopard seal so im immune

Social media is filled with ridiculous content. Thank you for this.

We watch Soo Locks Today every day and are very interested in the progress of the construction for the new lock. What we are seeing is into stage 3, making the coffer dams but also seeing great heights and lengths of steel scaffolding. How is this going to be used. Your video and commentary is excellent and very informative.
