    I'm going to be trying some different things in the next couple of videos. Some different styles, ideas, etc. Comment some critiques, advice and tips.

    You did not bring up the locks. The locks are a large part to there size and shape, of the lakers.

      True. Should have been in the size section.....

      Locks and the fact many lakers were designed to let them go up various rivers to load and unload

    • @HenryGengler

      Also the buoyancy difference between fresh and salt water. That's why the majority of saltiest you see on the lakes are sitting so high in the water. They're built to be more buoyant

    Thanks for another great vid, Connor. Gotta say I really miss the classic lake freighter designs, they are so iconic and instantly recognizable.

      Your welcome! And thanks! So much charachter and personality in those ships. Now they are cookiecutter. In a way that is reflective of society....

    You missed reason #0 The Locks. Lakers are built to fit though the locks and hence must conform to the shape of the locks that let them travel between the lakes.

      Didn't think about that one. Thank you for bringing that up. Was something I should have included in the size section.

    Age of some of those lakers is crazy, but the Mitch just cracked open, they said 13 foot crack in the hull. Was patched and back in service quickly, without unloading its cargo. It’s about 70 years old so it going to need some TLC

      No, she was patched so she could get to where she can go into dry dock for a more thorough inspection. There is another boat, the Manitoulin, coming to take Michipicoten's load. She has to have her load removed before she can be inspected.

    In my honest opinion, the Lake Freighters with the Pilot House Forward & Engine Cabins Aft just look better.
    Plus the 1 to 10 ratio for Lake Freighters also contributes to their appearance.

      Cement is simply the glue that holds the different aggregates together and on its own would simply dissipate. Now if it was concrete it would be different.

    This was very informative, especially the 10 to 1 vs. 7 to 1 ratio stat. I do not know anything about boats, ships, sailing, etc., but I find the lake freighters fascinating.
    Critique: The nervous chuckling and narration are distracting and lessen the quality of an otherwise very fine video. Please narrate with confidence, poise, and certainty.
    I'm new to this channel and have only watched and enjoyed a handful of your shorter videos. I liked the longer length of this video.

      @@ConnorTenold First and foremost, I want to express how much I enjoy your videos in their current form. They are engaging and informative, and I don't believe they require any drastic changes or gimmicks.
      I appreciate your passion for Great Lakes shipping and that you are a knowledgeable "boat nerd".
      1. Sound effects: Some sound effects would be OK if they are tasteful, not used as filler, and relevant (i.e., the grinding noise of a ship running aground) to what is being shown at the time.
      2. Music: Short opening and closing music would be fine; maybe some short, not too loud, interludes during the video. The music should be themed and respectful to fit the Lakers as much as possible. For instance, the Song Sorhleod by Leaves Eyes (read the comments for context)...ruclips.net/video/_C7m2d6i550/видео.html...would fit your channel content.
      3. Outtakes: Limited outtakes (such as maps, images of other ships, etc.) would help visualize and illustrate what is being discussed. Please, no Homer Simpson and other juvenile/childish outtakes.
      4. Humor: If you want to use some humor, make it wry, subtle, and understated. The channel "Just Rolled In" is good at deadpan narration with subtle, sophisticated humor. (For example, when a car or vehicle is brought into a shop where the front tire/wheel is no longer connected mechanically, the wheel is literally just hanging there; it is described as a "Bluetooth connection." This is rapier wit.
      Apologies for this longwindedness, but you asked. It's just my opinion and suggestions, but here they are.

  • @michaelimbesi2314
    @michaelimbesi2314 4 месяца назад

    Typical lifespan for an oceangoing ship is more like 30 years. Some of them will get scrapped earlier, but this is usually a result of economic factors rather than corrosion.

    howcome fishing boats/crabbing boats who go out to no mans land have a top speed around 12knots? say a fast moving storm is heading at them going 14mph is shit...in ship terms they arent very big most seem to be 100ft......why dont they have engines so they can go like 30knots? do they crap out or something?

    Modern lakers look so durned generic, like they all came from the same ship yard.
    Now those with the house forward they have a soul, and the look of what a Great Lakes ship is supposed to look like, being able to lean into the cruddy weather that is on the great lakes & plow on through to deliver their cargo
