No, they're not. Locally and globally, petitions have been drawn up and signed, putting into action resolutions to ban these behemoths from the waterways where they cause billions in damages annually. Even the men and women who are made to operate these vessels have fought back against their greed driven shareholders and literally abandoned ship mid voyage. The incident in the Suez canal where a crosswind ran the container vessel aground is huge red flag that drew the neccessary attention to correct the issue and correct it quick.

@@kaeolandon-lane3429 No worries. Dodges Ferry was indeed the site of a ferry, run by a guy named Ralph Dodge, who ran the ferry service there in the 1820's.
drServitis the damage is when that water rushing back in the opposite direction will begin to erode the banks and before you know it( maybe in a few decades) but your ass will walk out if your back door n fall in that sumbitch. Or just maybe the bridge you choose to sit on, suddenly collapses under you.
Bright side is it keeps the water from becoming a stagnant pond-like canal & the sound of the waves is beautiful. Some good landscaping rock piles lining the entire edge of the canal might help with erosion, but I’d consider those waves otherwise more welcoming than a nuisance in terms of property value. It is going to happen no matter what unless you build a lock at each end of the canal. Even then, it will damage the lock eventually too. It is going to happen and there really is no way to stop it long term. Think of it as getting your canal dredged of silt constantly and never having to worry about it silting in. Live life and find the silver lining to any situation.
UPDATE: -------------------------------- Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed down and monitored by the US Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance. This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot upriver limit (in this section) during the shipping season. Speed limits have now been enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided. northcountrynow.com/news/ship-speeds-seaway-cut-due-high-water-levels-0112566 SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION -------------------------------- Great Lakes Shipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways. However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have planned for. Previously large taconite-ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation. While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "Tidal Bore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium". The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season. INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND: -------------------------------- Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years). This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood. Information on Harsens Island: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsens_Island NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014 -------------------------------- Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species" www.fws.gov/Midwest/sturgeon/biology.htm
First, there is not an 8 knot limit there. The regulations have remained at 10.5 knots. Second, nobody is going up that river at 13 knots since maybe the Cliffs Victory in the 1970s (which pulled a wake through Sans Souci and is the reason there is a speed restriction in the first place).
Scott S 8 knot Upriver / Land Relative. 10.5 knots minus the current = relativistic travel of 8 knot +/- 1 knot. We use this measurement when calculating ship speeds from a static vantage point. Unless you are saying it is 10.5 knot land-relative, which would be about 12 knot water relative given the speed of the current in that part.
Scott S oh - since you are the first actual industry person to comment (thank you) -- you may find it interesting that one Pilot stated that the ships logged traveling at a higher rate of speed than allowed were all using retrofitted "Sperry Marine Visionmaster" navigation systems. I am guessing his thought is that there may have been a bug in how these system calibrated their overall velocity, which was leading to incorrect rates of travel. I am unsure on the validity of that premise... as I don't know how common Sperry Marine products are in domestic vessels... but it'd be interesting if that was the true cause.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season. You are a legend ,seriously somebody needed to put such a video to wake them ,very well made video
Yeah but don't mind the uneducated fellow that has to tell everyone it has nothing to do with displacement. Its the props sucking the water from in front bathe ship and pushing it behind the ship, not the ship displacing water. Displacement will only cause a rise in water
Last I checked the USCG regulations there was no speed limits anywhere. Just the slowest safe speed possible. Sometimes that can be 10 knots depending on wind speeds and currents.
@@Deerhunter2024 Speed limits for the St. Clair river are 12mph/10.4kts SOG between light X-2 and Lake Huron Cut buoys 1 and 2, found in 33 CFR 162.138 and US Coast Pilot volume 6 chapter 2. Speed limits are enforced both by GPS/AIS monitoring and mandatory participation in the vessel traffic service at Sarnia, ON
So isn't there some kind of design that could potentially be made at the end of the river to reduce the amount of water being pulled out of it because like you said it's because of the tail of the ship. Why not a directional flow control for the river? Might cost less for them to put that in than replace the bridges and whatever unlucky buildings.
@@kretzschMusic And since they are all over the world and everybody knows about them, you might as well just call it a sluice like everyone else instead of doing the whole "look everyone I'm Dutch" cliché
I mean, they could have not built a neighborhood and artificial waterway off of an active shipping lane. This is like those people who move out to farm country, and then complain that it smells like cow manure.
@highmiles 68 we have a shooting range literally 1 mile from the town (small town) it acts as a shooting range, brush dump, and a trail system. People never complain about the noise, they complain about how the cops go out there at 10pm to practice there night shooting skills and they stop at 11. They want them to be out there MORE because everyone has become so used to it they can't sleep when there's not gunshots in the night. Lol funny people round here
I suspect those ships were using that waterway long before this self righteous gent with his manicured lawns and decorative bridge put in an appearance. Might I suggest his next home purchase be made on the San Andreas fault.

Thanks for the visual and the information you left in the description especially about the St. Clair River Sturgeon
Yah, and I wonder if all this “oceans rising” that the global warming crowd is hyperventilating about isn’t due to all these large displacement ships being constructed and floated in the world’s oceans. Well Al Gore, have you ever considered that possibility? Seriously though, if I lived where this is occurring I’m sure that I would be complaining as well.

I remember stuff like this happening living in Illinois, and the 1980s on the Illinois River. Same thing would happen- a barge would suck all the water out and then massive flooding after it passed. You had to be really careful when they were coming through, because the current could suck you out into the river very quickly.

It is, but still an issue. One that was solved by enforcement of the shipping speed limits that had already been in place (and that were being violated).
@@Tolbat Shipping speed limits are great. They help prevent excessive erosion along banks. Once the ships were slowed down to the speed they should have been going, the problem went away.

Some good landscaping rock piles lining the entire edge of the canal might help with erosion, but I’d consider those waves otherwise more welcoming than a nuisance in terms of property value.
It is going to happen no matter what unless you build a lock at each end of the canal. Even then, it will damage the lock eventually too. It is going to happen and there really is no way to stop it long term. Think of it as getting your canal dredged of silt constantly and never having to worry about it silting in. Live life and find the silver lining to any situation.
UPDATE:
--------------------------------
Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed down and monitored by the US Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot upriver limit (in this section) during the shipping season.
Speed limits have now been enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided.

SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
--------------------------------
Great Lakes Shipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways.
However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have planned for. Previously large taconite-ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation.
While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "Tidal Bore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore
Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium".
The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND:
--------------------------------
Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years).
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014
--------------------------------
Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species"

First, there is not an 8 knot limit there. The regulations have remained at 10.5 knots. Second, nobody is going up that river at 13 knots since maybe the Cliffs Victory in the 1970s (which pulled a wake through Sans Souci and is the reason there is a speed restriction in the first place).
Scott S 8 knot Upriver / Land Relative. 10.5 knots minus the current = relativistic travel of 8 knot +/- 1 knot. We use this measurement when calculating ship speeds from a static vantage point. Unless you are saying it is 10.5 knot land-relative, which would be about 12 knot water relative given the speed of the current in that part.
Scott S oh - since you are the first actual industry person to comment (thank you) -- you may find it interesting that one Pilot stated that the ships logged traveling at a higher rate of speed than allowed were all using retrofitted "Sperry Marine Visionmaster" navigation systems.
I am guessing his thought is that there may have been a bug in how these system calibrated their overall velocity, which was leading to incorrect rates of travel.
I am unsure on the validity of that premise... as I don't know how common Sperry Marine products are in domestic vessels... but it'd be interesting if that was the true cause.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
You are a legend ,seriously somebody needed to put such a video to wake them ,very well made video
The speed limit has been enforced for many years by U.S. and Canadian coast guard vessel traffic controllers. By checkpoints and more recently GPS.
Yeah but don't mind the uneducated fellow that has to tell everyone it has nothing to do with displacement. Its the props sucking the water from in front bathe ship and pushing it behind the ship, not the ship displacing water. Displacement will only cause a rise in water
@@justindamirgian1088 Yea it didn't make sense to me.
Last I checked the USCG regulations there was no speed limits anywhere. Just the slowest safe speed possible. Sometimes that can be 10 knots depending on wind speeds and currents.
@@Deerhunter2024 Speed limits for the St. Clair river are 12mph/10.4kts SOG between light X-2 and Lake Huron Cut buoys 1 and 2, found in 33 CFR 162.138 and US Coast Pilot volume 6 chapter 2. Speed limits are enforced both by GPS/AIS monitoring and mandatory participation in the vessel traffic service at Sarnia, ON
Hogwash...that 1000 footer will NOT fit under that bridge

That reply gave me cancer.
+Lewis Johnson come on man learn sarcasm. your the dumbass.
no YOU'RE the dumbass.... ok i go to sleep now.
Lol.
So isn't there some kind of design that could potentially be made at the end of the river to reduce the amount of water being pulled out of it because like you said it's because of the tail of the ship. Why not a directional flow control for the river? Might cost less for them to put that in than replace the bridges and whatever unlucky buildings.
It’s not caused by the stern it happens because of the size of the ship, it displaces a lot of water
Would make sense. Some sorta lock that stops the water from moving in or out for 20mins.
A canal lock would work well
@@kretzschMusic And since they are all over the world and everybody knows about them, you might as well just call it a sluice like everyone else instead of doing the whole "look everyone I'm Dutch" cliché

This is like those people who move out to farm country, and then complain that it smells like cow manure.
Reminds me of people that move by a airport then complain about the noise
@highmiles 68 we have a shooting range literally 1 mile from the town (small town) it acts as a shooting range, brush dump, and a trail system. People never complain about the noise, they complain about how the cops go out there at 10pm to practice there night shooting skills and they stop at 11.

Thanks for the visual and the information you left in the description especially about the St. Clair River Sturgeon
Yah, and I wonder if all this “oceans rising” that the global warming crowd is hyperventilating about isn’t due to all these large displacement ships being constructed and floated in the world’s oceans.

Well the description offered a wealth of information, love it when that happens. Turns out the ship was going too fast!
The real story is whoever takes care of the grass does a hell of a job!
love that grass!
Since the grass is getting plenty of water and nutrients from the waterway, not all that much needs to be done.
Wow! That's crazy! That ship was like 1/4 mile away and it did that.
Charge admission to your water park. I noticed your neighbors had piling, good move.
Okay...well then don't live by a normal traffic lane of 1,000 ft ships. I mean you could try getting rid of the Moon to solve the problem. All you have to do is travel to the Northern Water Tribe to yeet the Moon Spirit aka Tui who takes the form of a fish in the human world.

Living on the edge of the water brings floods&high insurance...live with it or move
R Dm not true, I live right next to the water and the bank is really high. We have 0% flood risk, it’s all dependent on the topography really.
I was expecting this to be off the ocean. Didn’t realize this area is likely in my own state (Michigan) or near by.
As much as this is damaging, its still very impressive how impactfull we as humans are with our machines.
I remember stuff like this happening living in Illinois, and the 1980s on the Illinois River. Same thing would happen- a barge would suck all the water out and then massive flooding after it passed. You had to be really careful when they were coming through, because the current could suck you out into the river very quickly.

RUclips algorithm gives me this 10 year old video. It was fascinating. I do not understand how the ship's displacement caused that however.
Big ship push water up like when u sit in bath= water being pushed to shore
It actually cleans the canal out and keeps trash from piling up underneath.
BUT at the cost of severe erosion. This will make it larger and then it will trap more debris. Oh, and the swells will keep getting larger too!
Bulkhead's are grrrreat.
@@Tolbat Shipping speed limits are great. They help prevent excessive erosion along banks. Once the ships were slowed down to the speed they should have been going, the problem went away.
When this happens at the ocean, it's a tidal wave. Runs for your lives.
you mean a tsunami. Tidal waves are created from tides, NOT a displacement of water. Just look it up on google instead of thinking youre smart with no evidence or knowledge. Piece of shit
