⚓️Huge Wave almost got me! Ship 'Paul R. Tregurtha' departs Duluth, MN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2023
- The 1013 foot ship Paul R. Tregurtha was fighting 30 mph wind gusts as it passed under the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN. The wind created some big waves and one almost drenched me next to the canal wall. The Paul R. Tregurtha produced cool looking swirling wakes that hammered into the canal wall as well. Lots of action in this video for sure.

Boat Friends, this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Look what this guy did with a decommissioned ship. ruclips.net/video/ueAWBuYrKjI/видео.html
I watched that and enjoyed it. He’s living a dream. Thanks
Now cool is that!!!!!!’
Mike, your amazing! Thanks for sharing this passion with us! Duluth/ North Shore/ State of Mn/ The Chamber of Commerce’s should contract you. You have the ability to lure us city folk up your way. Your videos and positivity and your love of this magnificent Inland Port is like no other! Thank you!
Bob Cunningham
Bob, what an absolutely wonderful comment. My positivity tends to go down when it’s 25 below zero and a foot of snow outside during the winter.😂🥶 No, but serious, I really appreciate what you said. I said it before, I’m just a dude out here with the camera having fun. This is such a great hobby. I’m learning new things every day. It means a lot to me Bob. Thank you for that wonderful comment. Have a great Sunday my friend. I hope to chat with you again very soon. ⛴️⛴️⛴️👊👊👍
Miss going n watching the boats with my dad as a kid ... Stay at holiday inn on the beach.. definitely one of our best spots to enjoy a family weekend out... Ty for being my eyes now as the great ships come in n out...
Looks like we're all going to have to get Mike a wet-suit so he can keep filming on the canal walkway's!😂
😂😂😂😂😂🤙🤙🤙

I just have trouble imagining what it would have been like to be out on the lake in a ship 200 years ago. Those had to have been some brave sailors.
Thanks for the video
Mike, you and I both have thought about this. I can’t even imagine.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️😮
@@vibewithmike I went from Leland to north Manitou Island last year same weather with an 11' dinghy & had engine failure (harrowing experience) miracle I made it! What a blast though, making sure I've got a more reliable motor this year🙏🚤👍
Greetings from England, and many thanks indeed for yet another superb video, she is a magnificent ship!
Many thanks! Julian, I appreciate you brother!
Brilliant! One of your best, thanks for being there. Felt like I was stood next to you!
Anthony, wasn’t that crazy to see that stream running right down the canal walkway? At the very end, before I end the video, you can kind of tell I hopped over the stream. My shoes got completely wet.😂😂😂
Mike, great job, this one was so much fun I love to see the waves of Superior! Thank you! 🌊🌊🌊
I live in the west & have been to Duluth twice in my 70+ years & got to see this magnificent ship both times.
Alan! I’m glad you made it to Duluth my friend. It will keep brining you the cool ship action.
Simply outrageous ship!! We NEVER EVER see ANYTHING that BIG in the Chesapeake Bay. At 1,013 feet, the PRT would be much too long to negotiate the tight turning angles of our various channels. Thanks for sharing this impressive video!😊
This ship is a Beast!
Hi from Ottawa Mike! She's the first ship that I ever saw and got me hooked. I sent your vid to my brother in Thunder Bay. My other brother Mike photographs the Lakers there. We appreciate you too Mike. Thanks again for a great video.
I’m sure you get some decent size vessels there on the Ottawa River? What a great first ship to see! I hope you’re having a great Sunday Gail.
Great job once again!
Hey! I’m glad that you liked it. There’s always different weather here in Duluth. Keeps me guessing.👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Enjoyed the video Mike. PRT is always a favorite. and BE SAFE OUT THERE!
The PRT is the best of the best out there. The biggest. Always a treat to see this vessel. Have a great Sunday night and an even better Monday Henry.
Having surf like at the ocean, on a lake , never ceases to amaze me
Jeff, it’s absolutely crazy. I know what you mean. To watch people surfing on a lake, wild! It’s cool watching the lake go back to calm conditions, then get wild. There’s a legit contrast.🌊🌊🌊🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️
Wow, those waves looks hectic! Beautiful huge ship, always like to watch the PRT! Thanks Mike! Stay safe! 🤗😍
You definitely don’t want to be on a kayak out there
Thanks for sharing such a great video with all of us from far away.
I was born and grew up about 50 miles south of Sturgeon Bay, WI. We never saw any ships
this size on the Fox river. We only saw coal ships delivering to our power plant and very small cargo
ships.
I’m familiar with Sturgeon Bay because I reference that area due to a Bay Shipbuilding Company a lot in my videos. I would love to get to Sturgeon Bay at some point, I heard it’s wonderful there. Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to me, all the best to you Wendy.
Thanks Mike!!!! Another great video!!! ❤
I’m sure glad that you enjoyed the Pam. All the best my friend. The sun is out but it’s a little cooler today here in Duluth.
Great again! 42 degrees wow that sounds wonderful. Two days ago my car showed 101 in a parking lot, it went down to 95 on the road. Orlando is killing me.
I’ll make a deal, can you send me 20° of your heat and I’ll send you 20° of my cold, that should take care of both of us!
Just wait until the humidity is trying to kill you too. Florida is a nice place to visit. But I could never live there.
Ralphy, think of those 25 below days we get brother. No Florida?
@@vibewithmike plus hurricanes... no, there's quite a few reasons I live where the air hurts my face 6 months out of the year. I'll take the snow and cold and the 1 in a million chance of a tornado hitting my house over 99 degrees and 110% humidity. And a storm with a woman's name washing everything away every few years.
@@vibewithmike I was raised in the Midwest. I remember the 30 Below wind chills etcetera. Living here you realize that you can always put more clothes on BUT you can only legally take so much off.
Hard to believe a retreating glacier carved out the great lakes.awesome video.
Dan! You bring up a fascinating point that many people might not know! Absolutely love this comment and you taking the time to read it. Boat friends, here’s some more information about what Dan is talking about. lakeheadca.com/events-education/geology/glacial-lakes-history-1
Great ship. Great sound. Great wave action. Great video.
Betty, what a nice thing to say. Thank you so much.
All Hail the BEAUTIFUL and MIGHTY Queen of The Lakes!
🙂
Brian, such a great looking vessel. It never gets old. I love it.
Lol love seeing the waves crashing against the ship looks awesome 😂⛴🌊
I like the waves when they’re not spraying on me! Like in this video.
Awesome ship Boy the lake conditions really do change quickly.
Ken, literally hour by hour it’s something new on the lake or the canal!👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Wonderful video. Great to contrast it with the Harbor cam. Yours is much more human and authentic somehow.
Dan, I really appreciate you saying that! I’m just a dude out here having fun with a camera. I’m glad to have you along my friend.
Hi Dan. I see it the same way. Mike personalizes the videos and that's why I got hooked starting with his first ship video last year. Glad you checked in.
👍⛴️
Another great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on these amazing ships! I wish we were there, but this certainly is the next best thing!
Even if you’re not here, I’m bringing you with! Happy Sunday, my friend
This is my first time to watch a video Vibe with Mike. Its always great to see the PRT either coming or going in the Duluth Harbor. I lived in Duluth for six months. The video was awesome!
Melissa! What a wonderful comment. It’s a pleasure meeting you. Also, when you see these videos, you know firsthand what it’s like being there. Very cool. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
@@vibewithmike l should be in Duluth next month or September. I really like seeing the ships. Wish l could spend more time in Duluth, but l am just passing through. I will only be staying one night. I have heard of a hotel that overlooks Lake Superior. I want to pamper myself.
Good for you! Being up in Duluth even for a single day is going to be a fun time for you. I really hope the weather is good and there are many ships.⛴️
@@vibewithmike l will enjoy my time in Duluth! Thank you Vibe with Mike!
👍⛴️
Thanks, Mike, for your awesome video. We see the good weather and the not so good weather, just awesome. Stay safe and dry.
Scott, literally the good and bad weather can be hour by hour here in Duluth!😂😂😂☀️☀️☀️⛈️⛈️⛈️
Thank you.
Stan, you are very welcome my friend. I hope you’re having a delightful Sunday so far. All the best to you brother!⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👋👋👋
Don’t want any to get you, but I love the waves! Stay warm and dry!
Kim, it’s like taking a shower next to the Canal! ⛴️⛴️👍👍👍🤿🤿🤿🤿
Great shots. Thanks
Ginger, thank you very much. Happy Sunday all the best.
Awesome video and commentary. Now back to watching the PGA from my hometown area of Rochester, NY. Hi from W Palm Beach! It's 86 here.
Nana! What’s up! I’m watching the same thing. It’s going to be tough to beat Koepka today!!!!⛳️⛳️⛳️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👊👊👊
@@vibewithmike Was a golf beginner during the 90s. So frustrating, though good exercise and being outside with friends who were VERY PATIENT. Oak Hill is beautiful.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
No, thank you for the comment Linda. I appreciate you stopping and saying this. All the best to you.
Fantastic Video Mike Enjoyed it 😊
Anthony, what’s up man. I hope all is well. It’s one of my favorite ships every time it comes in or goes out.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👊👊
To all of people working the great lakes stay safe out there and make it back it home
Robert, I second that! Well said and we mean it!!!!!!’⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
@Vibe with Mike ⚓️ yes sir u have to respect mother nature and respect any kind of water otherwise you are in grave danger
Absolutely!
What a man made colossus ! Its majestic.Another good vid.
It’s so impressive. Every time I see it Norman. Unbelievable. Beautiful piece of steel.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Pushing 1000' through Superior whitecaps!?!!! Simply amazing.
Mark, I hope you had a wonderful Sunday. Thank you for stopping and dropping a comment. Very cool of you brother. I love all those thousand footers. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Magnificent. Love the closeup video and wind and wave info. Really loved this one. Btw, looking at a high of 96 degrees here in Henderson, Nevada today. So enjoy your cool temps.
Greg, if I was out there 100%. I would be doing the loop around red rock canyon. Enjoy Sunday my friend.
@@vibewithmike Thanks. By the way have you tried Fitger’s beer?
Fitger’s is an awesome place! There’s a lot of breweries that have opened in the Duluth area. Here’s a new one. It’s pretty good. Check out the images.

Really cool video. I like that you filmed from the other side since I have never seen it from this angle.
Phantom, exactly, I’m trying to add new perspectives. I’m going to keep switching it up for you. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
That would have been a cold shower! I have so many new points of reference now that we've been there. I see Enger Tower at the top of the hill. I'm not a fan of heights but I did make it to the top - briefly. About 2 pictures and I was DONE and ready to come down. 🥴 But I did it! You got some great wide shots. I've learned to keep an eye on those holes at the base of the pier wall. If water is coming in them, you're gonna get wet if you're too close. Of course the middle of the walkway wasn't really viable on this day, either!
Yes!!😂😂
Many people have got their shoes drenched not knowing that. Did you get to skyline Drive? The best photos there!
@@vibewithmike We did! When we came into town, we hopped off the Interstate and started at the Welcome Center at Thompson Hill. We followed the Pkwy basically all the way to N Lake, where we headed south to cross the lift bridge. Slight hiccup at W Superior St, where we stopped at a red light and smelled a burning rubber odor. I said, "I hope that's not us!", looked out my window and saw smoke - coming from our vehicle! Our brakes were not happy. And we just had them replaced before our trip so we knew they were in good shape, they just didn't like being ridden all the way down that hill. We pulled into a parking lot and let them cool down and continued on our way. We never had a problem with them again - but we did use 1st gear a few times on other big hills to avoid it! Lesson learned and another quirky vacation memory for our family. We seem to have 'something' weird happen on every trip!
I’m so glad that you got to have fun and Duluth. That makes me so happy. I hope you come back again soon.
Nice video and wave action thank you for sharing
Yep. Pretty awesome
Thanks William! I hope you’re having a good Sunday. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Mike, you truly created a wonderful video. It's about as close to being there as is possible!
If you go to 5:00 and carefully look at the bow foremast, you'll see at least 4 neat devices. From top down: light, radar, searchlight, horn. Again, a fantastic video Mike. I really enjoyed watching it!

Chuck is no joke!
I would love to tag along once in my life on one of these giant wonders of the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would join you on it Rod. It’s been a dream of mine since I’ve seen one of these big vessels when I was a kid.👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Love it! Thank’s for this one😃👌
Monica! Thanks for watching friend. I really appreciate it. I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday.
@@vibewithmike monday here in Sweden now😃! TC!

Aaarh…it’s a man’s life at sea! Just another transit to “Pure Michigan”! Carry on!
You know it's a windy day when there are whitecaps on the stream, as you put it, of water that's gone over the canal wall and is flowing down the concrete walkway! Lol
Absolutely! What a funny and cool observation! I hope you’re having a delightful Monday!
@@vibewithmike I am having a delightful day, as much as possible on a Monday anyway, here in Des Moines, IA. Hope you are too up there in Minnesota. I've always wanted to make it up to Duluth, but so far haven't been much north of the Twin Cities.
I really hope you come up to Duluth. Make sure it’s during the summer. No winter. You’ll never want to come back! Great chatting with you and meeting!👍⛴️
Thanks!
Leland! Wow! Thank you so much. I really appreciate you. I’m just a guy out here having fun with the camera. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️ have a wonderful Tuesday my friend.
@@vibewithmike i enjoy your videos. I read in JD Rockefeller bio . He’s the one that started the iron ore terminal in Minnesota and sold to US Steel.
Hands-down the best documentaries I’ve ever watched about Duluth are these two, Lost Duluth 1 & Lost Duluth 2. If you want to learn about the ship canal start at exactly 19:33 in Lost Duluth 1. I have linked these videos below for you. These documentaries tell the whole story of Duluth’s beginning and shipping industry, it’s absolutely fascinating with the photos and videos.

I'm from St Louis Co, and 42° at the lake is a nice day.
What’s up William! Another Northlander, pleasure meeting you my friend! You are right, 42° could be considered flip-flop bother. In fact, I was speaking with a person that had a “CN Railroad” shirt on before I recorded the Gott today. It was about 51° out and he was wearing shorts T-shirt, and flip-flops. Nothing wrong with that. Just think about our winter. I hope to chat with you again soon. I hope you’ll come back for some more ship videos.👍👍⛴️⛴️
Great video
Hey, Hey! You definitely have some waves that you have to keep in mind here!! Where oh where are the sufers. One of my favorites, as you know. She is working away to get to the lake. She DOES create a very large wake after. Nice to see that there was a salute. My favorite type of video as well. Have a great Sunday Mike and I will chat with you later!
I should’ve brought my dirty clothes so I could’ve washed them in the canal with all of that that washing machine affect!
@@vibewithmike Yeah, most definitely like a washing machine. You should have had them in a backpack so you could save yourself some time and money. 😂
I’m going to bring the laundry detergent down. Can you imagine what people think if you are sitting there with a big container of Tied?
@@vibewithmike😂 Good question. I would love to see you do that and see the reaction of the people there.
I think we both know that I would end up on RUclips, and not on my channel!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your videos.. remember seeing here on a program called the mighty ships if you haven't seen it look it up brilliant documentary ... Keep the videos coming love them
Hey RC! Love that RC tug that you have in the photo! Legit! I have a Traxxas X-Maxx. Take a look at my short videos, I only have about 20 videos total there, you’ll see my truck with a custom body. I remember seeing that documentary as well. Totally awesome! Nice meeting you! I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Them waves are babies.
I'm the permanent conveyorman on her and we have not seen any big seas yet.
Allison, hey friend! As you know, I appreciate and respect what you do on the water. It takes guts to be out there! I realize those waves are nothing to you but I’m just a guy that grew up in Minneapolis. I still think waves like that are big😂👍I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
I miss sailing on the ss meldrum bay with captain Fulford was such a joy and education.
Colin, what an awesome ship. What was it like on that ship? What was the captain like? For everybody that’s interested in this fabulous vessel here’s a picture of it. Totally awesome Colin!!!!!! www.shipspotting.com/photos/1792520
I cruised with my family back in the 1970s. We made an annual call to Meldrum Bay on Manitoulin Island Canada. There is a large stone quarry there.
I’m going to have to learn more about this place Chuck.
@@vibewithmike she was one of the last steam ships . Captain Fulford was a really nice man who went out of his way to train his crew but had his prank side also...first time sailing and getting pounded in a storm on lake superior ships just driving thru the waves and the ship is like a roller coaster so capt has me on the wheel to get some experience then he pulls out a tuna fish sandwich and comes over to me as 6 shades of green and opens it in my face boy you never saw someone run so fast to a bathroom the helmsman and captain said i woukd get over sea sickness now lol and boy were they right.
A couple of years later i sailed on the MV ontadoc doing coastal runs..and while waiting for tides in new brunswick we would jig of side of the ship was amazing time.
love duluth
Thanks Green One, I do too! I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
I did the ows on this vessel back in Feb
Serious? What was it like to be on it? You are so lucky being able to work around ships like this. I hope you come back and watch a few more ship videos in the future. It’s always cool having people connected to the Maritime community like you teaching us some new things, all the best my friend!!!👍👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Massive!
Freddie, it’s the largest ship on the Great Lakes. A huge piece of steel. It’s surreal to watch it go by. It’s literally like a downtown skyscraper laying on its side.

WOW!!
It was a washing machine out there Art!

Mike...also, a Washing Machine on Steroids! Great video...always look forward to viewing your videos...keep up your Great Work!
Frank, what an uplifting comment man. I really appreciate you taking a minute to say this. It means a lot to me. I hope you’re having a fantastic Monday. Memorial weekend ahead! Thanks brother!
If you listen very closely, you can hear the ship laughing at Mike at the 6:50 mark. The Queen always wins. Lol
Trust me, I heard the laugh, and I felt the water all over my back and neck! Good one PRT, good one!😂😂😂
@@vibewithmike "Whoa!"
Nice job my friend !…..

@@vibewithmike I’ll be watching, I’ve been to sea on 3 different carriers, long time ago 68/72 , I enjoy the Great Lakes ships !…
Mike! Aircraft carriers?
@@vibewithmike yep , worked on the flight deck ,I was attached to HS 5 helicopter squadron , we were out on the Wasp , Intrepid , and a short time on the Saratoga .Very active place , no sightseeing when we were flying aircraft haha….
Mike! Thank you for your service! It means a lot to me and many others. It’s people like you that served our country that allows me to make videos like this. Thank you!🙏🇺🇸
Great video again!
I didn't see any plimsoll marks on the vessel (at least on the starboard side you show) which I found unusual.
What are those marks you’re talking about? Don’t forget, I’m a city boy here.😂 I would like to learn more.👍⛴️
@@vibewithmike it's the hull marker that indicates the maximum load line. I hope it wasn't under water! Actually I think I can see part of it at 5:50. I'm on a tiny phone now. Need to see it later in hi-res on my laptop.
I have to learn more about this line
@@vibewithmike I confirmed with my laptop (much better than viewing with my phone), that the Plimsoll line is definetly visible at 5:50 and best if you freeze the video at 5:52. Pretty neat. The water level is about 4 feet under the horizontal marking of the Primsoll symbol. They are drawing 26 foot of water as they left the canal.
You get a better idea of the weight of the ships especially when they are loaded with cargo the waves don’t even look like they disturb it. Just cut’s right through. I would like to know how harder the engines run on a day like today.
I’ve tried to do some research on that Mike. Those engines can work pretty hard but I’d like to know a percentage as they go out. I hope you’re having a good Sunday.
Looks like a calm day in Long Beach CA, What's he all excited all about ?
Simply amazing !!!!!! Beautiful ship !!!!!♥️
Rod, I agree. Such an awesome shit. Tons of power and it just looks cool.
Thank you very much !!!👍
⛴️👍
Adorei o vídeo ✌️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
bom domingo, meu amigo do Brasil! Eu poderia realmente usar um pouco do seu ar quente aqui em Minnesota. Está muito frio hoje 50°F tudo de bom para você. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸⛴️⛴️⛴️👍
Lots of good wave action with this one!
The water was really shaking around Corey
Good as it gets right here.
Loup! I’m telling you, it was like a washing machine
65,000 tons???!!! Most I’ve heard is like 30 from others. How would the PRT react to rough waters with rogue waves in November, in your opinion? Pls and thank you.
Here’s from the website. The company website. Pretty awesome. www.interlake-steamship.com/our-fleet/m-v-paul-r.-tregurtha/
Shhhhhhh……quiet……we get it.
Cynthia, there are numerous maritime RUclips channels where nobody talks at all, and frankly, I thought there was a need for a channel where a person reports live about what’s going on. If you were watching the news with live coverage in the New Hampshire area and the on scene reporter didn’t talk for 2 minutes (dead silence), how would that sound? This is the exact same format as live news coverage. I see you are on the Ship Junkies forum too! I’m glad that you enjoy the ships as well. I hope you have a wonderful Monday. All the best. ⛴️
Good one !!! Did I see the Enger Tower up on the hill ??
Yes, you could see it in the background. You have an eagle eye Tom.🦅🦅🦅👀👀👀👀
@@vibewithmike Yes, I have spent alot of time in Duluth and Proctor.
Awesome!
The PRT is massive. I wonder how much water she displaces? Thanks
William, it has to be an unbelievable amount! ⛴️
Did you wave as she went by?😂😂
Have a good one Mike!!!😊
No, but I held my decibel meter up, not sure if that counts??
@@vibewithmike You said a huge wave almost got you. I just wondered if you waved back.
Just me being a smart arse!
I tried, but the back of my head and back were all wet!😂😂😂😂🌊🌊🌊🌊
@@vibewithmike That's been my problem all this time. A little wet behind the ears!!!
Yep, I need more experience looking out for waves
Wake / Swell can often capsize ... a small boat .. a some years back there was 2 fishing in a loch .. on a boat and a large swell capsized the boat and one drowned . And with the wind being strong enough to cause choppy conditions tho not Force 8 plus [ Gale force ] . the vessel is sailing into the wind and against the current due to the water smashing against the bow as she ventures forward .. there is also a hidden danger.. that inlet will have a very strong under current !!!
Very common sight on the River Clyde here in Scotland on blustery days ... ,On Friday ...there was 2 guys setting up there fishing gear on the slipway .. due to there blatent lack of knowledge . of the dangers of setting up at the waters edge ,,, due tidal change will cause large swells ,, which is what happend to them as they nearly lost half there gear .
I hope everything is well in Scotland for you my friend! Thank you for this comment. It’s packed with information and a great story. Boat Friends, I have included a link so you can learn more about the River Clyde in Scotland! Looks absolutely beautiful! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Clyde
@@vibewithmike There was a Boat built in 67 , for the Great Lakes sadly she sank after a collision , We have a laker inbound soon on the Clyde
I’m going to pull up my app, marine traffic, and take a look.
Great video. Does a ship of that size fully laden get affected much by the bigger waves?
Thanks for the question Nigel. I hope your day is going well. These ships are massive, so they are really built to take on big waves, but the captains try to keep everybody safe, so why risk it. Many times they anchor and wait out storms. I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
@vibewithmike I watch as much as I can. To be honest I'm not really a ship person but I really enjoy how you put your videos together with the information etc. I guess it's just the sheer size of those beasts that fascinate me. I live in the Scottish glens and mountains, so don't too many opportunities to get to the coast. For now thanks for letting me enjoy the piers of Duluth and the beautiful great lakes.
The ships are massive and it’s a big draw for all of us
Just a question what ship is the biggest of them al at those great lakes ? New overhere greetz from holland 😁
Ohhh wait hang on i feel dumb over here you literaly Just told it 😂😂😂 what a machinen😎😎💪🏻💪🏻
No, I appreciate your question. Years ago it was the Edward L. Ryerson (730 feet) and now it’s the Paul R Tregurtha (1013 feet). Serious, thank you for asking. I have learned from good people like you asking these questions. Have a wonderful Sunday my friend!👋👍⛴️
That looks choppy Mike! Must be pretty tough for these big ships to power through these waves. Have a great Sunday Mike!
It was like a washing machine out there Johan! I hope your Sunday is going great. You got a Headstart on me there in South Africa
@@vibewithmike Seems like it haha! yeah it currently 18h33 over here so my weekend is almost gone.😓
Well, make the rest of it count!
@@vibewithmike Will do my friend! Same to you!
👍⛴️
Did she have a crew and a captain well seasoned? (RIP GL)
You could also tell us if it is High, or Low tide, and who the skipper is???
What app are you using to track the various ships?
Hi Thom! Happy Sunday! The app I use is called “MarineTraffic” and it has a blue ship for the logo. You will really enjoy it! You can research vessel names and follow ships all over the world. I hope you enjoy! All the best friend!👍👍⛴️⛴️ I hope you come back to my channel and watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun. No agenda, just chilling out with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Wouldn't the strong wind blowing towards the ship affect the travel of sound for the ship's whistle, blowing the sound waves away from you when you are trying for a reading?
Randy, great observation my friend. I’ve been trying to learn the science of how sound travels and the echoing effect as well. I think over time documenting the decibel level for each vessel I’ll be able to factor in an average.
Be careful out there
Thanks Michael, all the best to you
1-2m high waves I am guessing. May I be close?
Is this ship a steam vessel or using LNG in its engines?
D EMIL, you’re very close to the wave height. Great question about the exhaust. It’s actually a scrubbing system that converts the exhaust to steam. It’s quite fascinating. I provided a link below for you. I hope you come back for another video my friend, and a comment. Nice chatting with you. www.interlake-steamship.com/about-us/sustainability/
@@vibewithmike Thanks for the link. Great info, didn’t know that.
Yes I‘ll surely come back for more videos!
Great to hear! Have a wonderful Monday
Is that an observatory on the top of the hill?
Really good eye my friend, it definitely looks like that from a distance. Here’s what you were saying. I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday. All the best you, check it out here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enger_Tower
What AP are you using for tracking ?
Alan! Happy Sunday friend! The app I use is called “MarineTraffic” and it has a blue ship for the logo. You will really enjoy it! You can research vessel names and follow ships all over the world. I hope you enjoy! All the best friend!👍👍⛴️⛴️
I just want to say we love this app! We saw Mesabi Miner and Wicko when in Duluth in 2021, and have followed these two ships (along with others) since then.
I’m so happy you like it. I’ve been using it for a while and it’s such a lifesaver trying to time the ships. We will both have fun using it!
@@vibewithmike Thanks. I spend s great deal of time around the Wilmington port area in NC. And plan a trip north this summer and want to check out the Erie canal and locks.
I’ve heard of that port out there in NC. I had a wonderful time in Charlotte a few years back. I stayed downtown but checked out the area a lot. I have to get to the Erie Canal as well someday, it’s a pleasure meeting you and chatting with you. All the best brother.👍👊⛴️
If it has diesel propulsion, what is making the steam?
That is not steam it is the exhaust from the diesel engines coming out of the main stacks although these ships do have auxiliary boilers which are called donkey boilers and they provide steam for the heating system if you look closely at the main stacks you can see smaller smoke stacks next to them and those are the stacks for the donkey boilers,generators and other equipment that burns fuel
Matt, I’m no expert. Keep this in mind. I’m just going based off of the company’s website. Take a look at this. It does appear that it is steam after going through scrubbing process. www.interlake-steamship.com/about-us/sustainability/
He is on their company website Mark. Regarding steam. Keep this in mind. I’m just going based off of the company’s website. Take a look at this. It does appear that it is steam after going through scrubbing process. www.interlake-steamship.com/about-us/sustainability/
@@mattharper588 thanks for clearing that up for me.
@@vibewithmike The ultimate by-product from the engine exhaust is, in fact, steam like you mentioned. It certainly creates a massive plume able to be seen for many miles.
What huge wave?
Within the first few seconds in the video water sprays from behind me and you can see it on camera. I got drenched all over my back and neck.
THE SHIP SAID SHUT UP
Waving a hand from texas surfs up lol
Ha! What’s up Peter! Surfs up brother!⛴️⛴️⛴️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️
@@vibewithmike chilling watching your videos
Awesome!
Look like high water lever
Arne! Happy Sunday. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for the comment. Yeah the water was pretty high up to the wall. All the best my friend.
The wind is coming directly off the big water, and it actually pushes the water ahead of it and raises the level for the whole end of the lake. If you're in a sheltered spot, it looks like the tide's coming in. There's a bridge at the southern end of Georgian Bay at Waubaushene where when the wind comes from the north, you can stand up in your boat south of the bridge and you can't see the water surface on the north side. It's like a chute of fast water coming in with the Bay about three or four feet higher. I've gotten stuck there for hours when the weather changes suddenly, not that you'd want to go out in the Bay with the wind like that, anyway.
That would make me so nervous. Heck, I get nervous standing on the ground when it’s that crazy weather. I can’t imagine being out there on the water. You’re a braver soul than I am.
@@vibewithmike - You don't go out there when it's like that. You go out on a nice calm sunny day. Then you feel a bit of the sweat on your cheek cool off with a breeze. Ten minutes later, you're in twelve foot waves and the whole world is gray.
Unbelievably scary. Lake superior really changes quickly here, I noticed that.
isnt there a Michael Jackson song about "P.R.T."
You have me laughing this morning! I did some research. It’s called PYT! 😂😂😂 Here it is: ruclips.net/video/1ZZQuj6htF4/видео.html
I didn't See Any Huge Wave !!
Juan, well, it’s all perspective. I grew up in Minneapolis with zero ships or huge body’s of water. Big wave to me.
Let the video do the talking. We can see.
I really appreciate your interest in ship videos! 90-99% of ship videos globally on RUclips are silent with the natural sounds and that's totally cool! Everyone has a different preference when watching videos. I'm doing something very different. My approach is the same as a live news reporter on the scene reporting what's going on firsthand, and relaying observations. Having minutes of silence doesn't work at all with this format. I'm having fun out here with the ships. I'm just a person with a camera and a hobby. I hope this makes sense. I do respect your opinion and comment! All the best to you! ⛴️⛴️
Get video
Thank you, I appreciate it
just another Yankee rust bucket
Haha you sound like Dan Akroyd, no offense.
Scott, you have me laughing so hard right now!!!!! How am I going to be able to watch Ghostbusters the same ever again?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video
Thanks Gene!
