Boat Friends! I have a few things I’m attending to right now. I will be back in the comments tomorrow. I do plan on replying to each of your comments from this video! Please, have fun with each other in the meantime! Happy Monday!👍👋⛴️
Mike, reading an obit isn't the most fun thing to do, but this one really is special. I had no idea my Uncle, Al Eastman, was a Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge operator, among many other distinguished endeavors. I knew he had a Marina, but there's so much more. ALVA B. EASTMAN, SR , my mom's brother in law, and one of my many wonderful uncles.
Susan, I want you to know the story about your uncle was very touching to me and I know it will be for others. I want the Boat Friends to learn more about this great man, your uncle, Mr. Alva Eastman. Please check the story out here. www.duluthnewstribune.com/obituaries/alva-b-eastman
@@vibewithmike Hey, all your boat friends are lucky we can watch the amazing videos and you really work hard to bring us all together with comments and stories. Kudos to you too, kiddo!!😄💖
Nice job Mike. And thanks for staying up later than normal to give us this treat. The 'Soo Express' made 34 trips to Duluth last year. Might just be the most visited ship to the Twin Ports. Starting at 4:45 you get a great view of the 'range lights' on the Michipicoten. These are the tall white lights on masts above the bow and stern. These help other ships determine its course of direction as their ship approaches. And speaking of lights......boy does that small bridge light which denotes the state of the canal current show up MUCH better the further you get out towards the lake. When I visited Duluth last month, I couldn't believe how much brighter it was when I was standing next to the north pier lighthouse. It's apparent the beam is directed in such a way to maximize visibility for the captain out in the lake....way before the start of the canal. And that makes sense.
Boat Friends, here’s your geography lesson for the day. Check out where our friend Judy lives right here! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukie,_Oregon Judy, I hope you subscribe and come back to my channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
This is one of your most beautiful videos, Mike. The structure of the lift bridge illuminated from below, the moon, and of course the dear Michipicoten soundlessly all aglow. It’s all about the light. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I could, I’d like it twice!
It looks like they are warming up the Bow Thruster judging by the white smoke coming from the little exhaust stack aft of the Pilot House. Great video as always. Keep them coming!
I love the old school boats. The forward house and the covered "back porch" just look more visually appealing to me. I could really enjoy that back porch, just sit back & watch the waves go by.
Happy Monday friend! Roland, serious, come back every day and let’s do the countdown together! We are at day 32! Looking forward to one less day tomorrow when you lost the number!⛴️
Elizabeth! It’s always a treat to see a comment from you. I hope you had a wonderful Monday. Those old ships in the night are hard to too. They look so awesome!⛴️
Really cool job Mike, very descriptive, moon on the water quote set the scene, you are turning your vignettes of videos into classics and am afraid leaving other boat posters behind, it’s the commentary, vivid and in the moment, it adds so much my friend. Bob UK
Bob, it’s all about being live in the moment. I’m having fun. Many people on RUclips only care about videos. I have fun making the videos, editing and think about a thumbnail. It’s a straight up hobby. My career pays the bills, this is purely fun for me. I’m so happy you’re enjoying friends. What the weather in the UK right now?⛴️🇬🇧
I love Mitchi! A vessel from an era gone by but still pulling its weight! I think kids will love these ships so that family will enjoy it! Love how it looks with its light on full display! 🤩🤩🤩Hope you have a great evening Mike and other boat friends! 🌃🏙🌃🌉
@@karengausman1459 I agree! These old vessels have some sort of magic that the newer fancy ones just don't. Thank you! I hope you have an awesome evening as well!
Hey there Captain! 👋 Didn't realize you were able to see in like that to the liftbridge operator. Surprised to see people out but it is still summer and alot of supporters for the Michi!!! She looks so great when she is all lit up at night. A real grand lady of the lake!!! Love to watch the turn into the harbor!! Thank so much for showing that and staying up late to be able to record her coming in. Really appreciate it !! Take care my friend and I will chat with you on the morrow. 🙋🚢
Hey Karen! How cool was that to see those screen! I’ll bet television is the last think they want to do when they get home! Great weather out in the twin cities right now! I typically don’t stay up too late like that! State Fair is a few weeks away!⛴️
@@vibewithmike I know!! Yeah, I am sure they just want to do something else. Weather here is almost perfect. Yeah, I am so ready for the State Fair. I have my ticket to get in . Thinking I will probably go on the 29th but depending on the weather,
You do so much for advertising “come visit us in Duluth!” I now now much more about Duluth because of you. More than it’s in MN and cold in the winter. I hope to visit some time. (not in the winter)
Well I hope “Visit Duluth” takes notice. Hey, here’s something funny. When I travel out of state people only know about the Mall of America, cold and the movie Fargo when talking to me about Minnesota !😂⛴️
Winter can be brutal here. If I'm not mistaken, last year Duluth area had over 120" ouch.... edit time. As of April 30, it was 140 inches. I should have looked it up first, but heck, what's another 20 inches, eh???
@@susanpugh130 Hey Susan. If it wasn't so far for me, I'd love to do some Winter ship watching. In many respects it's my favorite time. Just too far to make the trip. Luckily Mike will show us action during this often brutal time.
Hey. I really like what can be seen on these night shots. The lift bridge monitors the different lights (well explained) the moon. Again, I love the sound of the ship's name.
What a great video, Mike! WOW, love the nighttime shots you got on this one, adds a cool dimension to the boat, the bridge, the water, everything. You may have to stay up all night so you don't miss any action. lol Thanks for hanging in there and sharing this one with us!
Mike,I love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to show us all the things we might never see. I watch several channels about the big ships but like I said I appreciate the extra effort. I never knew about the bow thruster symbol etc.
You got it my friend! I just learned about the bow thruster symbol recently as well. The same goes for steering poles. Anything I learn I try to pass on. There’s so many boat friends with knowledge in these comments and it’s helping all of us. I love the education part of learning these things.
Beautiful video, Mike. Great shot of the ship coming in with moon on the right and the walkway on the left. I love the architecture of the rear third of the Michipicoten.
Dan! Awesome point! The rear third is a combo of old-school and built to work hard. It stands out like the back of a 57 Chevrolet! www.ebay.com/itm/303802745063
Wow Mike, late nite at the Canal! Looks like nice weather, and seeing the monitors in the lift bridge was pretty awesome for sure. This is a smaller old school laker, but makes up for that by making many trips over the course of the year. Engine room shot was a great extra as well. Love these nite shots as really highlights the harbor and the whole effect for sure. Nicely done as always!
It was actually pretty fun being out there that late at night. Believe me, that’s not a regular occurrence. The ship looked great though. I hope your Monday is going great. ⛴️
I really liked being around the Lake at night, when everything is calm, and the lights take on that surreal appearance and have that sparkle to them. You managed to capture that on this one, and that is not easy on that big water. Kudos!!!
It was mentioned that the Michipicoten was originally named the Elton Hoyt 2nd. It last sailed under its original name in 2000. Then the boat was in long term layup until 2003 when Lower Lakes Towing purchased and renamed the vessel. The old Elton Hoyt 2nd went idle after LTV Steel in Hoyt Lakes, MN permanently closed in 2001.
Exactly, it’s captains discretion. They were just being respectful for the neighborhood. However, I don’t stay up too late like that. I rested well the next day. Thanks for watching my friend. Always nice to see a comment from you.
Mike, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for your commentary and great filmmaking. I am planning a trip up from central Illinois in the near future. I was wondering what the pedestrian walkway surface is on the Lift Bridge. I have a big black lab and he doesn’t like the expanded metal so I might need to put booties on him.
You will have a blast in Duluth brother!!!!!! I have the perfect video showing you that walkway. It’s a bit windy, but it will show you what you need to see. ruclips.net/video/4u_qo7D7Zt4/видео.html

Hey Mike I was wondering if you can help us out. My 10 yo son and I watch your videos. Jaden was asking where are the horn’s located in the aerial lift Bridge. We been looking like crazy and can’t seem to find them. Could you explain or possibly point it out in a future video? Thanks!
Hi there. They are located next to the upper most little white house high atop the bridge. Watch some other videos of Mike's done during the day. You will see that top most structure. In a previous video I described the horns in detail. I'll try and repost what I wrote.
Mike! Hello bud! Tell Jaden I said what’s up! I think that so cool that you too share the love for ships! How awesome! I noticed Chuck responded! He really knows a lot of stuff. He’s taught me a lot. Perfect answer by him. I will point them out in a future ship video for sure!
Hi Stephanie. When I watched my first ship in Duluth (The Block), I was stunned how quiet it was....despite the HUGE size. So opposite a train locomotive.
Great question, not even close. I didn’t know much about the ships since I grew up in Minneapolis where there are no ships. I fell in love with these huge iron boats when I was young. I enjoy learning more about them each day. All the best to you! 👍👋⛴️
