Now,she's sailing for American Steamship Company and she's named American Century. That's, History about the American Century. The, Alpena is looking 👌 good 👌 👍 👀 for her Young Age. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND 🎅 🎄 HAPPY NEW YEAR'S DAY, to You and Argo FROM DETROIT. 10:17
What a wonderful way to close the season on the Mac lock with the classy, timeless & stunning lady herself the Alpena ! Looking like the Ice Queen that she is. Thanks to the crew & their creativity she is spreading a lot of holiday cheer! At least we still have another three weeks (???) to go with the Poe lock. 👑🛳🧊🌨❄
Yeah, just about 3 1/2 weeks left for the Poe lock. It always seems like there is a huge rush towards the end of season. It might just be my own mind thinking that there should be a rush but it certainly feels like the rush has begun :)
I have enjoyed many of your videos Congratulations again on 1000 subs Looking forward to seeing your next episode Your friend Scott on Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦
It is a bit late for this year but I could have Christmas cards available with some decorates freighter pictures.. hmm. That is a good idea! I also love her horn. I was lucky enough to get a salute from her earlier this year, she sounds very nice!
I was wondering about those bikes just before you mentioned them. I figure laps around the deck, or maybe if a sailors off duty while the ship's loading or discharging cement, they can ride them into town. It'd be interesting to know.
The Aleena sure is a classic old style freighter 😊 I didn’t realize the MacArthur Lock closed much earlier than the Poe Lock. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas to you and Argo. 🎄🎄🎄
She is a beauty, that is for sure! The MacArthur lock closes roughly a month before the Poe lock and opens roughly a month afterwards. They already have the bridge across the MacArthur lock in place. They also moved the crane over the weekend which I imagine will be to put the stop logs in place so they can start getting it dewatered.
Of all the ships Alpena is my favourite. She’s a pretty ship.. if such a thing is possible.. the grand old lady of the lakes. Thanks for the video and freezing your butt off. Merry Christmas from Calgary 🎅🏻🇨🇦
Since I recorded this, it got VERY cold for the official start of winter and today we are starting to warm up again. Rain is actually in the forecast again for the end of the way. Merry Christmas to you as well!
L'Alpena est certainement la plus belle dame des grands lacs mais pourquoi un homme sur le quai semble vouloir la tenir en laisse avec une corde ...merci de me répondre
I apologize that I do not know any French but I used Google Translate to read your message. The person with the rope is a deckhand that is lowered overboard as they approach the lock. When they get in to the lock, the deckhands on the ground will pull cables out to tie the ship in place. This way the ship can not shift forward or backward while being raised/lowered in the lock.
@@codyandargo906 Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse et de France, je vous souhaite " Merry Christmas ", un joyeux Noël en français pour vous et votre famille .

Merry Christmas Cody & Argo😊
Merry Christmas to you as well!
What a beautiful lady she is. Im calling it a 2fer also! Keep us updated on whats going on in the Soo during lay down. Merry Christmas Cody and Argo!😊
Oh don't worry, I won't be vanishing during the off season. I don't know what all I will record but I'll have something to upload for sure :)
Thanks for the beautiful video, guys! So fascinating, and relaxing to watch the ships go through the locks! 👋😁💖💖
Glad you enjoyed it!

Your friend Scott on Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for the kind words, Scott! I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
What a beauty the stories she could tell would be amazing
Yes, I can only imagine. You can't sail these waters for this many years without having seen some amazing things!
Wonderful! I would like to have her on my Christmas card. The Alpena is my all time favorite, her horn as well. Always watch for her in Duluth.

I also love her horn. I was lucky enough to get a salute from her earlier this year, she sounds very nice!
Thanks for sharing Cody! I love your videos and seeing you on the Soo Channel chat. And DOG! LOL
Thank you! Argo and I are glad that you enjoy the videos :)
Thanks again for sharing.
Have a beautiful Christmas, Cody and Argo. I'll be waiting for your next great video.!!.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thanks for that great video. Argo is a well behaved companion. Merry Christmas.
He is a really good boy and even more so when there aren't any squirrels running around to distract him :) Merry Christmas to you as well! Thank you!
Great video, thank you so much for sharing. Merry Christmas to you both from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
That was fun. Thanks and Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Merry Christmas, glad you enjoyed it!

Maybe they have a slow race around the ship? Where you ride, as slow as possible, without putting a foot down. Tricky if the water is rough! :)
Have a Merry Christmas Cody and Argo, looking forward to many more great videos. Love those Christmas lights on Alpena.
Merry Christmas! The Alpena sure is a beauty.
That's an awesome video Kodi
Alpena, always one of my favorites growing up in PH

Bikes belong to the crew. When in port/dock, they'll ride off for recreation or personal errands.
Ah, I did not know that. Thanks for the info!

We have a few more weeks of ships using the Poe lock then yes, my uploads will likely be of Argo having fun :)
@@codyandargo906 yaay
You didn't wish the crew a Merry Christmas .
True but they were talking on the radio a lot and didn't want to interrupt.
