Lake Superior’s Fury (Honoring the Edmund Fitzgerald’s Anniversary)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- A collection of footage showcasing some of the best storms I’ve caught here in Duluth for the anniversary of the storm that sunk the Fitzgerald, including the massive storm that hit on the anniversary date itself last year (2022). To add some perspective, as large as some of these waves shown here are (15-25ft), the waves that sank the Fitzgerald were likely 2-3 times bigger than even the largest waves seen here. Just imagine it… Lake Superior is not to be underestimated! The great ship and her 29 crew members will not be forgotten.
Probably shouldn’t even get into the fact that Indiana Harbor (the world’s heaviest fresh water ship) decided to leave through the very narrow and shallow canal in those conditions, and the worst part of the storm started up just an hour or so later (partly shown in other scenes in this video, although I missed the gates and ladders getting smashed 😢) ... gutsy move. Didn’t really gain them anything either, because they went so slow, and the route they eventually took due to the wind and waves forced them so far out of the way that the ships which stayed in harbor and left two days later after the weather cleared beat them to the other side of the lake.
By the way, I apologize for the quality of some of the footage, as much of this predates my RUclips filming experience.
So great to watch such a large ship easily negotiate a narrow passage in such nasty conditions.
I’ve often said that Gordon Lightfoot’s song is a perfect song. Not only because of his low-key singing with the song’s lyrical simplicity, but because it’s so evocative of the feelings that the crew must have felt. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. RIP brave crew. RIP Gordon.
The song does an amazing job of memorializing what happened, it is indeed perfect for what it’s goal is! The crew certainly did make it look easy! I’m guessing it wasn’t though, many vessels refuse to use the canal in far less severe conditions than that, it was a bit of a shock when they went for it!
We can only concur.
Totally with you on that friend ,I can't listen to it without feeling emotional ." Does anyone know where love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours " blessings from England 🙏

I grew up in Minnesota and we used to drive up to Duluth to watch the ships come in or depart. As a young boy it was absolutely incredible. Later in life we thought of Duluth also as a romantic city. My wife and I stay at bed and breakfasts. So many great memories of Duluth. Thanks for this chilly video.
Same here, enjoyed it so much we eventually just decided to move here!
Great video. You really give a feeling of the conditions. Living in UK, I first heard about the Edmund Fitzgerard through the words of the song and, they were so poignant that they still come to me at times of stormy weather all these years later. May those brave mariners rest in peace.
One thing that has definitely surprised me the last couple days is how how well known the Fitzgerald is worldwide. Growing up in Great Lakes area, she’s a local legend of sorts, the fallen hometown hero. I’ve always wondered just how far the story is known, if it was just a Great Lakes tale, or more widespread. Now I know lol
Even in Germany the tale of the Fitz and the fate of Crew is known.
As are the efforts of the men who set out to aid the lightship Carr, who are immortalised by the great Luke Kelly
Gordon Lightfoot (RIP) Never forget his beautiful Songs. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitsgerald was just one of them. Southwest Germany is waving a Hand into Lake Superiror and Thunder Bay ON 💯🙋♂
Long ways from the Lakes! Glad to have you here!
Ah a fellow countryman?
Where you from, roughly?
That was impressive the way he threaded the needle despite the gusting winds. I’ll bet he also parallel parks his car with pinpoint precision!
They are masters at what they do!
They have to be. The ship and occasionally lives depend on their skill.
The Indiana Harbor is one of my favorite ships. Safe travels to her and her crew while braving Lake Superior in November.
Our Great Lakes are Inland Seas, vital, beautiful, incredibly important and can be incredibly dangerous. The crews of the ships are brave as can be. Years ago, a freak storm blew in whilst my Mum and I were on the Toronto Islands. We made it to the Ferry, crawling on the pavement. Waves going over the entirety of the boat, at several points, we were looking underwater through the windows. There are people who don’t believe me. All I can say is, you’ve never experienced it then. Respect the water and respect sailors!
Rest in Peace those that lost their lives on the Edmond Fitzgerald. My grandparents lived south the big lake. Granddad would say the weather is bit snotty today.
Thank you to all those who risk their lives to move our goods & keep our economy running smoothly. You deserve mad respect & way more money than they pay you! RIP to all who were lost on our Great Lakes, & condolences to their families. They will not be forgotten!
The Gales Of November
.. come early. Gordon Lightfoot. A beautiful song. Halifax harbour is also hard to navigate with ships colliding in a race to unload their cargo. 🇨🇦
@@oleggorky906 Such a sad story but such a great song and how he sang it , unreal!!!
Great job capturing the power of the lakes . Also I appreciate your panning around to show the city through the spray , RIP to the crew of the Fitzgerald
Thank you!
I leave a few miles from Lake Michigan. I had an uncle and aunt come to visit from England. We took them to see Lake Michigan at Indiana Dunes State Park. My Uncle Walter was surprised he said it was a Sea not a Lake!
The Unsalted and shark free sea :)
It is much appreciated that you have provided this video of the moody scene of Lake Superior. I had always appreciated the song of memory of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the crew that served thereon written and sung by Gordon Lightfoot. This certainly brings home, to some extent, of the condition of the Lake at this time of year. The people will be grateful to you for producing this.
I’m glad you and others enjoy it :) Amazing to think that the waves that sank her were likely 2-3 times even larger than the biggest ones seen here
The people who live up there are heartier than any steel boat. Greetings from sunny California
Thank you for posting this. I haven’t been back home in three years since my mom died. Its great to see home and the lake, like an old friend.
Hopefully you can come home soon for a visit!
Incredible footage. Next best thing to being there! Thank you. And RIP to the crew of the Mighty Fitz. Gone but never forgotten ❤
Thank you!
Gichigami, the lake that never gives up the dead.....powerful place. I grew up there from 1955 to 1973 and in the summer....not with weather like is shown here, I would fish off the end of the canal around the light. About eight years ago I brought my son to this exact place and it was a nice summer day. My son asked, "Why isn't anyone swimming?" "Still to cold for that!"
Had the honor of contacting the special events station via ham radio. Thank you for honoring these brave men!
Very cool! Thank you for watching!
Talk about a "bucket list" entry. I would love to see one of those boats come into Duluth. And God bless the crewmen of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Definitely an amazing experience standing there watching all this! Not something I’ll forget and I hope to see it again- so long as everyone is safe of course.
Sailors, truck drivers, train engineers, pilots, power plant operators....Hell, just THE people, THE backbones of the world, you folks deserve so much more respect and way better than far too many of you folks get. Thank you to all of you, if any of you out there happen to read this.
If bus drivers are also included there, thank you! We do our best :)
Thank you for your respect friend .

I was fishing late one night on the Seagull fishing pier that juts out from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. We watched an enormous Container ship head out to sea very close to the pier right near where the bridge turns into a tunnel and heads under water. It was a really cool experience. Being so close to massive vessels like this is incredible, I'll have to pay a visit up there some day and see if I can catch one in action! I can't imagine what the crew of the Fitzgerald went through in their last moments. Gord captured it as well as anyone could have. Sad we lost the best musician, as far as I'm concerned, this year. Thanks for the great footage!
You should! It’s definitely an experience you don’t forget, Duluth and the surrounding areas have several areas where ships get incredibly close, the most famous spot being here at the Canal with the lift bridge and the salute exchanges, along with several lesser known spots including Wisconsin Point, Rice’s Point and Two Harbors, all great spots. Not to mention a lot of wilderness, waterfalls and some of the most beautiful shorelines in the country
Huge respect and appreciation for the people that works on those ships.
Here in the uk we learned about the Edmund Fitzgerald through the song (Gordon Lightfoot?). It’s one of the most moving narrative songs ever and I can never hear it without a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart. Seamen everywhere must be apprehensive when the storms of November come early ….”
That ship is MASSIVE! How does it not break in half? Unreal....amazing...
I live in Detroit and I've watched the Edmond Fitzgerald sail the Detroit River a many of times when I was a kid.
I know history has remembered her as a standout ship, but I always wonder, was she famous before she sank as well? Looking through the records there were many ships that were only a few feet smaller even when she was built, few of which are really talked about today, and towards the time of her sinking she was dwarfed by other vessels in service, so always wondered if her fame sort of faded, up until she went down?
Perfect day to remember the Fitzgerald and those who lost their lives.
I used to love going down by lake whwn it was stormy weather. I miss Duluth but at my age i don't miss the winter there now.
I love the Gordon Lightfoot song, and this brings it to life. I sent think link to friends, found the video again and then listened to it along with Gordon's song. It was a thank you Jesus experience.
I’m glad you appreciated it! Seeing it is an amazing experience, Thank you
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call 'Gitchie Gumee', Superior they said never gives up her dead when the Gales of November come early.
Been there many times and have never seen it like this! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed! The gales aren’t as common on this side of the lake as the east side, but when they do blow it’s pretty spectacular! Definitely a sight to see, although it can be a bit miserable to stand in it 😂
@jonathanellsworth21 Yes, I've been there in the middle of winter for a job, and it was too cold and windy to even go outside for a cigarette! I think it was like -30-40°. My Father in Law lived there. We love going to see the ships come in and out. One of these days, i'll get to check out Grandma's restaurant! It's just amazing the waves in your video. Have a great night. Thanks again!
Greatly appreciate this channel, love it!
As for last week's anniversary of The Mighty Fitz, it's one day that lasts the entire year. My family visited the museum at Whitefish Point two summers ago. Gutwrenchingly amazing.
You can feel it to the bone.
Thank you! What happened certainly can tear at you and capture the imagination… I haven’t been to that museum in far too long, but I’m hoping that someday they’ll get the Anderson, if they can find a safe spot to park her.That would be perfect
Blessings from England 🙏
Long way from the lakes! Glad to have you here!
This video gave me a chill. Thumbs up.
I absolutely LOVE taunt taunt boats!
Remembering those brave sailors on the Fitzgerald. RIP
Taunt taunt boats? 😂
@@jonathanellsworth21 Yeah, my Dad used t take us down to the waterfront in Michigan when we were kids and we always called them taunt taunt boats because of the horn.
Really good video, it was just like being there!👍🏼☮️
I agree. When YT posters lay in a music bed or soundtrack with such a video, it can take away the _cinéma vérité_ effect of the video.
Thank you! That’s my main goal for the videos I post :) Very, very glad to hear it!
Good collection and information... thanks 75M here. wyoming michigan.
bad ash lake Superior.
In an "average" storm, the waves are 12-15 ft but can get to 20 and sometimes break over the lighthouse at the entrance to Port Ontario.
It Is like a Ocean Out There
Very similar sometimes!
The coast guard really put the the anderson in tough situation
I remember the morning after the E.F. went down. The roads near Niagara region where I was driving that particular day were littered with fallen trees, branches and debris from the same storm. I live near Orillia, Ontario, the birthplace of Gordon Lightfoot. There are a several memorials and tributes being erected in his memory. His tribute to the ship is one of his greatest songs.
Good to hear that, he deserves it. I can imagine, always hear about the storm’s impact ok the water, but rarely about the land! Usually it’s the other way around but not in this case
To the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald....rest easy boys....rest easy
Thank you Jonathan i appreciate what you do for other awesome you rock
Thank you!!
As an Australian, I really find it hard to comprehend enough fresh water to cater for a ship that large. Although educated enough to know the story of the Endmond Fitzgerald and her fait.
10% of the world’s Fresh Water in Superior alone… they’re massive lakes. I know South Australia does have some larger ones, but I believe they’re extremely shallow and only have water seasonally, certainly wouldn’t be good for shipping. Should visit! Can get a pretty much guaranteed White Christmas here in Duluth, a bucket list item that I’ve heard from many Australians I know! (For living in the northern US I have a surprising number of close friends and contacts in the Melbourne area lol)
You are referring to the 1,000 foot ones? Those ships are as big as aircraft carriers!! Yes, the Lakes are huge. Here's a fact/ history. During WW2 the American Navy trained their pilots here in the Lakes. The Navy took some of the freighters & removed the super structure. They affixed a flat top & trained those pilots off them before sending the guys to the Pacific theatre of war. American has a very large recruitment/ training center north of Chicago. T he flyers were trained right there on Lake Michigan.
Freaking amazing!
Glad you enjoyed!
That’s some angry water 🤬🤬🤬😡🤬🤬😡. Great collection.
Very angry!
Thanks Mike for going out in this weather great video nice job big hugs
I’m not Mike 😂 But I’ll pass the message along regardless if you want 😁
Gordie, did these monsters and all up proud !
Very much so
As a young man almost 60 yrs. ago, I spent time on lake Superior at the very tip of the upper peninsula (the U.P.) at a place called whitefish point.From the wave action the beach rocks were as round as marbles & our rig immediately sunk to the hubs. 4x4 got us out but God it was cold. Wind? I don't believe I've ever been in wind that strong. The Mackinac bridge was shut down because of waves washing over the roadway. Those poor guys on the Fitzgerald never stood a chance.
Waves over the Mac? WOW
We drove Batchawana Ont on 10/4/89 at night to find a room. It was so cold. Didn't know it was due east of where it sank. Algoma had stand there you can read about it
And this is inland. I don't want to imagine what it would like be in the middle of the lake.
I forget the exact measurements for these storms, but the open waters can often have 10-20ft taller waves than closer to shore, the worst area being on the east side of the lake, north of Whitefish Point- where the Fitzgerald sits
Scary stuff I live on lake erie, you don't go near it in November.....
RIP Big Fitz the weathers up a bit But Im sure the Indiana Harbor can make it through..Love that ship..:)
Looks like a great day in November on the lake,prefect for doing my fishing a the market...not out there
The Indiana Harbor!
I grew up next door to her former Captain or first officer. I can't remember which position he held on that ship.
He did Captain a few other ships for the American Steamship line.
Oh that’s very cool! Bet he had some stories!
some wow photography man, good job. we were there Sept 23 in much calmer times. Superior does get excited at times.
Thank you!
Bystanders: OMG, look at those waves....
Captain: What waves are they talking about??
Lol, they certainly did make it look easy! It was a highly unusual departure, normally in rough conditions the lakers find a sheltered anchorage rather than sailing through them. They usually don’t seem to have the stereotypical attitude associated with ship captains, preferring to keep their crews comfortable and safe than taking on storms unnecessarily… except for this time. It was quite a surprise!
Lake kitchagoomie doesn't give up her dead 😊
How about going over to Whitefish point on the next rough day..😊
That would be awesome, unfortunately it’s a nearly 8 hour drive 😂 Split Rock Lighthouse in big waves is certainly on my to-do list though!
Fantastic Video
Thank you!
Haven't seen the ocean or the Great Lakes in person but i appreciate your sharing. The motion of the waves and seeing nothing but horizon in the distance is scary and intimidating to me and that massive vessel is going out there like another day at the office with souls onboard
Sailors are certainly tough!
The sailors say being out on Superior is no different than the open ocean, she is so large!
You ain't seen nothing until you see waves crash & spray over 80 foot walls of shoreline in Northern Minnesota. Those videos are on U-Tube also.
@@shirleybalinski4535 I’m hoping to see that, Duluth is fairly sheltered at the end of the lake so definitely on my bucket list!
The lake looks very rough. That freighter punched through those waves easily. I live next to Chesapeake Bay and we get sharp cold fronts coming from the northwest direction the bay gets full of swells and whitecaps. Sometimes we get blowout tides and you can walk out about 30 feet beyond the rocks. Those days we would go sinker hunting in the rocks or the clay and sand just beyond and sometimes find over a hundred sinkers a day!
I bet Chesapeake Bay has a relatively similar dynamic to the Lakes, a lot of water in a (mostly) enclosed environment. Granted from what I understand it’s far shallower
@@jonathanellsworth21 Yeah it's not very deep in terms of comparing it with the Great Lakes or oceans. Generally the depths are above 100' for most of the bay but it does have deep holes in certain spots. As a boater it is really amazing to goes out there and actually experience the tidal currents. Standing onshore you can't notice it but on a boat the bay flows swiftly almost like a river. I have been out there on days when the current is moving one way and the wind is moving the other way. The result, instant chop and above normal swells. I have a small aluminum bass boat and have been in swells that were close to six feet. The boat bobbing like a cork up and down. Upswell top of the wave you could look around. In the trough of the wave you saw nothing but waves surrounding the boat. Lots of fun though. And the fishing and crabbing is awesome.
@@JimDog794 definitely want to get down there and spend some time in that area at some point!
I’ve never seen Lake Superior but from the looks of it, things can get pretty nasty up there in the winter.
Sometimes it’s really bad, other times it’s like glass! Or anything in between, the lake is beautiful.
some of my family where born and brought up in sault saint Marie . rough as hell in winter . moved to Toronto and Mississauga . far better .
Jeez those ships are huge, 2 time zones long
Wowwwww what a beautiful vessel ❤❤
Looks like the front end of the Batmobile up against the breakwall!
Lol where are you seeing that? Never noticed it
@@jonathanellsworth21 Right in the beginning pan shot of the rip-rap.
@@jims6323 oh yeah I see it, that’s the bottom of one of the anchors they have sitting along the shoreline, that one just happens to be laying flat. Does look like a car bumper from that angle 😂
How deep is that canal?
30ft, more or less, relatively shallow. Fully loaded like this, the Indiana Harbor probably didn’t have too much water underneath her, a foot at most, probably inches.
Risky move leaving, any rocking or rolling would have put her on the bottom.
Wild but cant stop them like she can when she ices up. Great video 😊
Thanks! It does stop them sometimes, especially when the waves start throwing ice chunks around!
Lake Superior its said never gives up her dead, when the winds of November come blowing !!!
Makes me shiver just looking at this vid. From Saint Petersburg Florida, 80 degrees Fahrenheit today.
Actually not terrible up here today! 50s, a bit of a warm spike and a nice break from the 20s and 30s of the last couple weeks. We’re making the most of it, probably won’t see these temps again for another 4-6 months most likely.
Florida native here living in Colorado now. I use to live in Clearwater. You can enjoy ur balmy weather for the next 6 mo. But another hurricane season commeth soon. Got lucky again that you all didn't get a direct hit from the one that hit cedar key
The stormy seas are "cleansing" themselves.
I think that the debris (sand, and smaller rocks) at being carried to shore besides the water. Think of the abrasion that can cause when you are near those waves. It’s not to be forgotten.
True, sometimes after a storm like this you’ll see swirls of sand stretching off into the lake from the beach from up on the hills
Beautiful footage! And I missed the anniversary a couple of days ago :( But their memory does live on!
footage?
@@Capecodham It's an expression which may be a holdover from film...feet of film. It means time elapsed captured in motion video. The images, light quality and angles in the video are well done, and beautiful in some respects. He captured something very interesting through his video. Beautiful footage. Visually and viscerally rewarding video.
@@CuriousEarthMan Do you call a car a horseless carriage? Do you call a single old woman a spinster?
@@Capecodham Calling video "footage" is a common, current, valid term of art in the industry and in hobby sectors as well. Please state your issue. Is it something you never knew and now it bothers you that you were ignorant about it? Again, please state your issue.
@@CuriousEarthMan I worked in the industry at channel seven in Boston, no one, I mean no one in 30 years as used the term footage or film. You would be laughed at if you said film or footage.
Great footage. Did the Edmund Fitzgerald ever pass through this exact same spot / channel?
All the time! In fact it’s the last place she was ever seen from land, departing through here on her final voyage
Beautiful weather aint it !
Lol yep! Went and relaxed on the beach afterwards 😜
The Lake may never give up its’ dead…
But we will always remember them.
Good God
Definitely rough but nowhere near the North Atlantic in winter! I know I spent a fair amount of time out there!
Agreed, been in a smaller hurricane on a boat in the Gulf, certainly larger waves than in the video. As I understand it, the lakes are just as dangerous for two reasons, the first being they’re fresh water. It behaves differently, the waves are steeper, closer together, and more dense, less likely to break. This gives them far more punching power than the same sized ocean wave. And second, the lakes are enclosed, if there’s a big storm coming, you can’t just sail around it.
I miss living up there. Thanks for posting.
Born & raised on Lake Erie... love her, but being the shallowest of the lakes, she can go from zero to bitch in 2.5 seconds. The west basin is thought to have one of, if not the, highest concentration of wrecks anywhere in the world.
The lakes demand a lot of respect, that’s for certain
That Lake! I think maybe it ever pisses her off that we call her a Lake. Where I live I can see where the Ontonagon River flows into her. She can be still as glass! But like last Christmas Eve she can deliver a 70 MPH North wind with a 30 foot swell. Walking on the beach, on the horizon, she looks like she is on a full boil. The Fitzgerald? She explains everything about how we live up here.
Have yet to go to your area, on my bucket list though! Any recommendations on places to see at all?
@@jonathanellsworth21 So, the town of Ontonagon, which is the county seat for Ontonagon County Michigan is a small non-touristy town that never-the-less has everything one would need in a town. There are 2 slogans it goes by: Harbor Town, and gateway to the Porkies. Ontonagon claims to be the oldest harbor on the South shore of Superior. Not certain how correct this claim is, like I guess they are saying that Sault Ste. Marie is on the East shore. But the river itself and the breakwater there do on occasion shelter a freighter. The Porkies...The Porcupine Mountains State Wilderness Area, 12 miles West of town are the real deal. It is 60,000 acres of some of the oldest old-growth forest in the Eastern US. And it is actual wilderness. That would be the reason to come to Ontonagon. But the town itself is just a nice place to be.
The Gails of November come early...
Lake Superior is one of the scariest lakes in the world. It looks like its trying to kill you pretty much 24/7.
@@icegiant1000 in winter yes, summer it’s usually very peaceful! October/November and late March/April are the bad months. But when it gets going…
Thank you for the video. Time to go listen to Gordon Lightfoot.
Dang. Rough
Je vis en France près du détroit du pas de Calais ( strait of dover ) et le mauvais temps ressemble souvent à cette vidéo ...
J'ai entendu dire que les mers autour de la France, le détroit du Pas de Calais et la mer du Nord sont également notoirement agitées ! Vous êtes loin des Lacs, content de vous avoir ici et j'espère que vous avez apprécié !
Bien sûr car j'adore regarder des vidéos des@@jonathanellsworth21 grands lacs
The lady isn't happy
The lake? Nope, not at all lol
That looks so cold there. Is that the first snow ❄️ of this winter.?
Yep we’ve gotten our first snows of the season, nothing that has stuck around too long but that will change!
I forgot to mention in my comment #subscribed ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh hell no lol, having lived just a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean my whole life the Great Lakes freak me out
I just got drunk as all hell on the anniversary of the Edmund Fitz. Guess we all mourn differently
I almost started singin' that song!!!!!!!!!! 🛥🚤
It looks like the water level is higher than normal, But I figure it's just the rage of the water. (with the wind)
So hard for me to grasp that this is a "Lake" .... Not the open Ocean (as it "Seems")
It likely is slightly, due to what’s called a seiche effect. The wind is blowing the water towards Duluth, creating sort of a bulge on the west side of the lake. When the wind stops, the lake sloshes back in slow motion towards the eastern end of the lake, and it’ll continue moving back and forth for a few days after a gale. It’s sort of like the Great Lake’s version of tides, except caused by wind rather than the moon. It does happen on the ocean, but outside the center of a hurricane (storm surge) it’s not even noticeable because they’re not enclosed like the lakes are, it dissipates very quickly
I hope to be able to see the lakes in person some day, even better, be on a boat(with Hired Captain)
it's on my bucket list. @@jonathanellsworth21
Neighbors can't rest in peace with those horns.
Lol, funny. I live practically right next door to the bridge. Sleep just fine :) Talk to everyone around the neighborhood, drive school bus and delivery routes around the whole area, talk to all sorts of people and never heard a single complaint about it. Matter of fact the only complaints I’ve ever heard about it are from drunk tourists stumbling put from the bars, and “neighbors” I’ve never heard of commenting on RUclips lol
@@jonathanellsworth21 Interesting. I lived in Duluth in 1966, I recall no horns. As a kid I lived near a firehouse, they had a loud horn, I did not sleep through that.
@@Capecodham the horns have always been there, they used to signal ships their destinations when arriving in the harbor, back before radios were commonly used, and continued for many decades after that despite having them. A lot of the horn use has actually significantly declined over the years, becoming more of a ceremonial tradition than anything, a formal greeting between the ships and the bridge. Although they still signal during fog, and while small boats are active in the harbor, which may not have radios. Duluth takes a lot of pride in the tradition, its part of the city’s identity, nobody complains :)
@@jonathanellsworth21 In 1966 I lived at 1124 east 6th st, later at a hotel downtown when the arena auditorium was built, the only horn I heard was the foghorn. Have you talked to people that live out on the spit?
@@Capecodham Park Point? Lol yep, of course. That’s where I live :)
judging by this BLUE segment on the otherwise brownish red ship, an enlargement was done to this never-long-enough vessel, or, maybe, it had at some point suffered a maritime oooops lake-collision
The ship is black, the reddish color is from iron ore dust, which she had just finished loading about 20 minutes before this. The waves are cleaning the dust off
@@jonathanellsworth21
the waves seem to be very selective and geometrically precise
@@ottavva there’s also some rust spots that were painted over in certain areas. Plus the locks between Lakes Huron and Superior are fairly narrow in comparison to the ship, only 2ft or so wider, so they’re harsh on the front
15-25 feet , here?
+/- 30ft in the canal, drops to about 60 just off the lighthouses then 200 about a mile out
I got a prank? Get a few For Sail signs place them around the anchors....
3:26 ship disappears
Yep lol, there’s a couple big time jumps in here.
Good day to get the old tin bin and the 9.9 out and do a little down riggin. lol
Caution, loud wind noise warning...ope, too late . . . my ears are blown out.
Lol the wind is sort of the point 😂
Mataafa.
