What a beautiful winter day. Gorgeous blue skies, sea smoke on the water, temperatures cold enough to freeze the channel--it doesn't get any better than this.
This is where I first saw Lake Superior. Of the 43 states I went to hauling freight, Lake Superior was the most awesome sight. A giant freshwater ocean smack in the middle of the country.
Californian it actually smack on the edge of two countries. But i get what you mean..she is a beautiful sight to behold.. You could say its smack in the middle of our continent..
@@MilwaukeeF40C as a Canadian I second that! Canada should have been part of the State's. I love the second amendment and chics in a union jack bikini.
Who would go out in that freezing weather to watch a freighter coming thru? Like all the other people there, I would dammit. What a site......ya just don’t see that every day.
I would because I've never seen it in person but I imagine it's just like anywhere else if you live there and it's just part of the environment you'd probably rather stay in and be warm
Not the start of the season, it was the end of the season for shipping, just the 1st ship of the new year, a little deceiving comment by me I guess....
As a Minnesotan, we just look at this and immediately know just what it feels like out there, despite the sunshine. The kind of cold that instantly freezes all the snot in your nose as soon as you take one step outside.

I work for a shipping company and a cargo cruise ship horn came through once. It was 6ft tall 5 ft wide and had its own electric motor that weighed 300 lbs. The horn it's self I think weighed 800.
@@mitchi_blabla you dont believe in "god"? You literally just acknowledged that you believe there is somebody out there with great power, for you to call him a "god"
It might be a little heavy for your mo-ped but there are many videos on RUclips of people mounting rain horns in cars and scaring the hit out of people. I don't know if there are any ship horns in cars though.
Great video never gets cold enough for the Belfast lough to freeze over down where the docks and shipyard are,, great show case for the ship lover to visit your area plenty to see 🛳️🚢🚢🚢☘️☘️☘️👍👍
I was there that day with my camera! I believe it was -38° if I'm not mistaken. Sounds crazy, but it was such a beautiful sunny winter day. My hands had to thaw getting back to the car though! Great vid 👍
Let‘s hold on for a moment and appreciate the fact that nobody ruined the video by neither adding crappy eurodance music nor shake the camera like on a trampoline nor having endless intros nor talking/yelling/screaming/commenting from the off. The video is just perfect without any of this. Thanks, mate!
This is a gentle wind, on a mild spring morning, in Saskatchewan, Canada. What most consider frigid, we consider a mild chill. I would have it no other way. I live for the cold, wind, ice, snow, dark, and beautiful wildlife.
For something that large to freeze is crazy. We live in Duluth MN. It gets -60 so yeah when one of the largest fresh water lakes in the word freezes yeah it’s crazy
So for anyone not not familiar this is the Duluth harbor in Duluth Minnesota. The ship is honking its horn to let the Lift Bridge controller he is entering the Harbor. Ive seen alot of jokes about honking the horn to let the ice know its coming but this was the real reason which is why you heard a second horn after the first. That is what the bridge horn sounds like and it sounds so much louder in person.
Cold climate like this is hard for me to wrap my head around! I live in southwest arizona, and the forecast this week has a lowest of 113 and a high of 117 degrees! But I guess that's the opposite end of the spectrum.
Add more fog, and minus the ship's horn, and that could be the opening cinematic of a sci-fi/horror game based on exploring a huge cargo ship that came in from nowhere. It crashes into the dock, and you are the port authority person assigned to search it.
“And out of the fog she came, like a Great Lakes Freighter!” (cue big booming music)..... Oh wait a second. She is a Great Lakes Freighter. Full stop on my grandiose entry. Great videos by the way.
Facts since Paul didn't do any at this time. CSL ASSINIBOINE (IMO: 7413218) is a Self Discharging Bulk Carrier that was built in 1977 (45 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Canada. It’s carrying capacity is 33309 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 8.1 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 739ft and her width is 75ft. It was built by Davie Shipbuilding Ltd., Lauzon, QC as their hull # 684 for the Power Corp. of Canada, Montreal, QC (Canada Steamship Lines, managers).
Possibly a dumb question, but is there a schedule of when ships pass through the canal?? I'd love to see that in person. The video footage is great but to see the true size comparison has got to be unreal.
Good video. I hate loading these boats though. The self unloader has to be swung off the boat when loading and it causes an offset list port or starboard depending on if we are loading them up or down river.
You also must be ready all the time, for the Lord will come when least expected - Matthew 24:24. If we truthfully ask for forgiveness for our sins He will forgive us no matter what!

There's something calming about watching these vids. I would NEVER live here though. Too damn cold! Watching this I got cold and its 95 degrees here. :-)
M C Its amazing what can be done with technology and steam. You should look up the Doble Steam car (Jay Leno) and then imagine what can be done to that car with modern technology.
Watching it at night on my phone, ships aren't noisy things (that's what I thought anyway) turned up volume to the max to hear some ice creaking. DAMN BLOODY SIREN WOKE UP EVERYONE AT HOME AND GAVE ME HEART ATTACK
Sort of, the Bridge lifts when the ship is 1.5 miles out in the lake. All required communications are via radio. The Audible salute is more for tradition.

I wonder why the water does not displace in the canal? You would think there would be a extreme rise and fall of the water level
One side of the canal is lake Superior, the other side is the St. Louis River, estuary, any water displacement would be difficult to see.
It would if they went faster.
It was so cold the flame on my cigarette lighter froze
