A few months ago the Arthur M. Anderson was perhaps the only Great Lakes freighter I knew and she was my favourite. She still is, bless her, but over the past few months I have been quite excited to learn about numerous others and your video has been a stupendous help in that regard. Thank you!! My second favourite is the Michipicoten followed by John G. Munson. It was only after I'd made this top three that I realized all three were built in 1952. Amazing!! Your video of the Michipicoten arriving in Duluth on December 27 (a year ago today and I just watched her arriving again) is simply beyond beautiful. Those lights were magnificient as they reflected on the water. I've not seen anything comparable to this incredible light display before or since. Thank you for catching her at just the right moment in all her glory!! And thank you for all the info you provide. For a newcomer like myself this is so helpful -- loads of pertinent info all in one place!!! Awesome!!
Thanks also for the generous donation! RUclips’s studio app didn’t show the donation at first, so I just wanted to reach out again and thank you for your support! 😊
Thank you for making this video. I can’t imagine the time it takes to edit all the clips you took throughout the season. This is the relaxation I needed.
Thank you I followed along with my Mom's 2014 copy of Know Your Ships. Enjoyed seeing her notes of freighters coming and going at Manistee Harbor, lower peninsula. Time to get current issue, I have another somewhere. Saginaw sails into Manistee and I really was excited to see her sailing the end of the season up north in Duluth and Superior. Thanks!
If I remember correctly, she was the last ship to contact "big Fitz"(ss Edmund Fitzgerald), before she went down with all hands on lake Superior in November of 75'
It's tough to pick out just one laker as a favorite, as I have yet to see any in person! Seems as though the one I always come back to is the Wilfred Sykes for her color scheme, and streamlined looks. And then there's the Arthur M. Anderson, Michipicotin, Alpena, the Barkers and Tregurthas, the Canadian boats, the 1,000 footers, and so many more. And of course the tugs. Can't forget the tugs! Thank you for taking the time to put together this omnibus edition of the 2022 shipping season. 🚢 😎
Great compilation! The opening to the video is positively breathtaking! Though the Great Salt Lake here is a formidable feature, it isn't even in the same stunning stratosphere when it comes to the Great Lakes and the colossal crafts that weigh its wharfs. Lol😂! Only diminutive dinghies will one occasionally find out in that saline-saturated slick. I turn envious of the locals there who frequent the shorelines and harbors to cast a glance at the many mighty steel leviathans, and to listen for the venerable and age-old practice of "One long, Two short!"
Saw your comment about The Great Salt Lake vs, the Great Lakes. I live in Michigan. We love our Boats. It is in our Dna!! My state is beautiful, friendly & historic. You are no more than 6 miles from anywhere in my state to some kind of fresh water. These freighters can be seen just about all over( unless your in the middle ddle of the state)! Come pay us a visit. You won't be disappointed. You can see these Lakers up close in my state too. Hope to see you soon. I believe you would love it.🎉
@shirleybalinski4535 Thanks Shirley! Oh! I guarantee that I would love it! There's something about great bodies of water that hv always fascinated me. I'm currently reading a book titled 'In The Kingdom Of Ice' by Hampton Sides. It's on the 1879-81 voyage of the USS Jeanette, where the boat and crew become trapped by ice and struggle to survive after having to abandon ship. There's something harrowingly otherworldly about being miles removed from the comfort and security of land, and facing the enormous power and indifference of the mighty Poseidan! Thanks for the kind invitation! Reading some books on the historical settlement, people, and economy of the Great Lakes region is actually on my to do reading list! Take care of yourself!
Man, so hard to choose. For horns, I do like the Big Barker, Papa Treggy, and the Saginaw. For looks, the Wilfred Sykes by a mile. All in all though, I think the Spruceglen wins it for this season.
The Wilfred Sykes has a style few can match. Back when Marine Architects were designing for looks and functionality! And then there is the little tug that can, the Missouri! Also noted that steam turbines are a rarity. I suppose they burn bunker oil.
I included some bridge responses but didn’t want to include 25-30 bridge salutes in one video. It was my personal preference to cut out the louder (and more distorted) responses.
Good question. They probably can’t restrict a job that’s within legal working age. But assuming one plans to start as a deckhand, one will need to be in good enough physical shape to do the work (regardless of age).

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. 1952 was definitely a great year for ship building. 🙂
Fun fact about the Arthur m Anderson
She was the last freigher to make contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald
Thank you for all your efforts to entertain us boat nerds who are too far away from Duluth. Long may you continue xxx
Thank you! 🙂

I concur Lynda! Hello from Salt Lake City🖐!
@@edkiely2712 xx
quality camera work man
James R. Barker's horn is amazing, it shakes the earth and you can feel it in your bones up close!
It’s a symphony! 🎉
1 hour and change of pure ship spotting heaven. Naturally I liked the night stuff best but loved everything. We’ll worth the effort.
Thank you! Hope I included some of the highlights you liked during the season. 🙂
Thank you for making this video. I can’t imagine the time it takes to edit all the clips you took throughout the season. This is the relaxation I needed.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
nice pfp btw
Thank you for the index - going to watch the first 55 mins after dinner! Super work as ever!
Thank you Candace!
This video is like a pot of gold to me. Getting me through a rough patch. Very enjoyable! Thank you!😃⚓🛳
Thank you! Really glad you’re enjoying it! 🙂
❤Thanks for videos our family enjoys watching
I’m glad your family enjoys them! 🙂
I would love to ride on one I’m an marine electrician retired but never worked on one of these ships

Thank you! Most of my stats were n the video come from the 2022 edition of Know Your Ships. 🙂
Can’t wait for the season to start up again. These are beautiful clips!
Thank you! Only a few more weeks to go…
16:51 this one has holds a important chapter in the story of a certain ship and crew that are no longer with us, doesn't it.
Yep...I'm glad to see she's still sailing.
If I remember correctly, she was the last ship to contact "big Fitz"(ss Edmund Fitzgerald), before she went down with all hands on lake Superior in November of 75'
Just gonna leave this comment here. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
The horn on the James R Barker sounds like a Viking horn, it sounds so amazing!!
Terrific video.

this video is gold ty
Excellent video thanks
Epic! 😎✌️
watched on my TV just great
Thanks!
Again, like the other comments… superb video and editing… we really enjoyed these great ships… take care my friend…
Thank you!
Man, so hard to choose. For horns, I do like the Big Barker, Papa Treggy, and the Saginaw. For looks, the Wilfred Sykes by a mile.
All in all though, I think the Spruceglen wins it for this season.
She definitely wins the award for most salutes for a single departure!
33:19 for being 1004' long, she turns pretty fast!
Tnx for a super video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. 👍
Thanks 👍
Would like to visit inside one of the ship's. I'd like to be inside the lift bridge watching when the ships are coming in.
Yeah, riding the bridge and watching the ships up there would be a fun experience!
The Wilfred Sykes has a style few can match. Back when Marine Architects were designing for looks and functionality! And then there is the little tug that can, the Missouri! Also noted that steam turbines are a rarity. I suppose they burn bunker oil.
Some of the Ships on the Great Lakes stole Locomotive Horns and use them along side their regular ship horns.
You’re hearing the horns on the Aerial Lift Bridge returning the salute.
How about considering not only letting us hear the ship's horn, but also let us hear the Bridge's response horn. I do enjoy your videos.
I included some bridge responses but didn’t want to include 25-30 bridge salutes in one video. It was my personal preference to cut out the louder (and more distorted) responses.
What is the age range that you can be accepted onto one of these ships?
Good question. They probably can’t restrict a job that’s within legal working age. But assuming one plans to start as a deckhand, one will need to be in good enough physical shape to do the work (regardless of age).
I wonder how much the rounded fronts of the lake boats hurts their fuel efficiency.
The extra cargo they carry must offset any loss of fuel efficiency. 🤔
at 7:00 PM, on August 28th, 2024, this video received its 995th like from me.
Were some of the captains having bad days with no salutes,?
Not every captain salutes. Many will also not salute at night, but it’s ultimately their decision. There’s no rule against night salutes.
@@1Long2Short I see. I wonder if people automatically think they all salute
Is Edger Spear still operating
Yes, the Speer is still hard at work! 🙂

Why am I so fascinated with the great Lake's ship's....Not a sailor never been around them...Addicted to the documentaries lol
Nothing wrong with that! 😁
Just doesn't seem to be complete without the Blough... 😢
it a drag boat shipping co
Two ships with laryngitis 😅
is it wrong that I call the John G Munson "cheese" because "Munson" reminds me of "Muenster"
Sailors have more fun!
Trying to pick a favorite is like trying to single out your kids!!
wtf again same anchor and disguise rear with under water line open hole for dragging door low under
Isn’t the Clarke in long term layup??
No, she came out in mid 2022 when the Presque Isle needed engine repairs. The Cason J. Callaway is in long term layup.
