I’ve been watching Ships go thru the Soo Locks for 63 years (all summer time & fall). First time to see one in freezing weather. I wish my Dad was here to see this 😃. He’s the reason I love “up North Mi “. We come from Lenawee Co down State . Thank You for posting ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Captain Scott Hein is an absolute beast with his Philip R. Clarke. He is a great ambassador for Great Lakes shipping. He never hesitates to let off a salute and play to the crowd in Duluth or at the Soo. His wife, Mary, is another awesome human being. I hope Philip R. Clarke is having a good offseason and the engineers at the Locks are keeping warm. Essayons!
It's a close contest between the Clarke and the John G. Munson for the best "Jaws in near" cold horn on the Lakes. I think the tone on the Munson is just a tad lower in tone.
You can be a lot closer to the action watching the Brunsbuttel locks. But of course, that's not the Soo. On the other hand, they need no winter break there.
That was neat!! Where you were standing is that a spot that anybody can stand when you asked for the salute? I want to take my family up there and that is a great view. Thanks.
This was taken from the secure part of the Soo Locks facility. However, the last Friday of every June we host Engineers Day and allow the public to cross the locks. This year it will be held on June 28.

I’ve never seen someone swing off a moving ship before. Amazing. Locks were great too. Thank You
Props for that horn! That must be the jazziest salute I've ever heard. I salute you Captain 🌹⚓

Salute sounds like a baritone saxophone, very cool!! 🎷
Reminded me of the theme from Jaws
bass trombone
Social media is filled with ridiculous content. Thank you for this.

Wow brings back memories. I loved the winter sailing.

Thought I was seeing things when, was it the pilot swung over the side and stepped off. Incredible lol.

Deck ape. I was proud to be one.
Excellent video. Thanks for producing and posting this for us!
Great shots . Best one we have seen. And the horn. Thank you so much.
That buzzer scared the crap out of me! lol
Wait till you hear it at 2am. 4 blocks away.
Wet cool to see the Clarke from all angles and from so close too. Her salute sounds very…fun? Just sounds like a happy salute!
Awesome. Thank you for getting out there to bring us these videos.
So interesting. Always watched the webcam. Now to be nearer to the real action is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

No, that spot is not open to the public.

Ok thanks 😊
I want to be the guy swinging off the side.. 😂
Now that is a great capture of the locks and they that pass
anyone see the fellow get off ship?
I thought I was seeing things. Thank you,y saw it to.
The sound the ice makes breaking against the ships haul is nerve racking.
It sounded like the air horn had a healthy dose of ice or snow in it,
I was gonna say, even the air horn sounded cold.
@@wdcjunk Oh Yeah that's about it..
Cold air makes them more crisp and you can hear the diaphragms almost.
Great Video😊
Great Videos
Nice Vid!
He should just park that thing right there, so he can be the first one out when the locks open again.
С ума сойти,кораблю 72 года!В это же время режут на гвозди 10-20 летние суда..Выглядит огромным,228/21Спасибо за видео!
I'd guess sailing in fresh water, not salt water is why the great lake freighters have lived so long.
I love this bulk carrier🤩😍😍💙💙💙
Pret tee kool.👍
Hottttt 😊
Yeah this should be the last boat through,judging by the ice.
she was the last one through.
@@usacedetroit975 love this,jumping on your channel
Wait a minute. Is that a boson's chair? Do people freaking do that every day? That blows my mind! 👍🏻
Got to secure the lines.
Every ship that comes through uses a similar if not same method.
Does he go back on ship the same way?
No safety harness with carabiner?
I'm amazed that's allowed in this day and age.
Is this ship heading up stream? Where will it dock for the rest of the winter?
It must be heading downstream b/c it was lowered in the lock, not raised.
Downbound. I used to live right there.
Questions, are the gates heated so they dont freeze?
There are steam lines run across the gates to prevent ice buildup.
How long do the locks stay closed?
25th of March 2024. According to the USACE
The countess🎉
👍👍👍👍
Where this vessel go someone answer plss for my reviewer only thankz
Probably the Caribbean, where they don't have snow.
It's either going up the St. Mary's River toward Lake Superior or down toward Lake Huron.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570it's an American flagged vessel. To big to get through Canadian locks on the Welland.
Mot much ice.
It's been pretty warm this winter season so far.
Down bound
The crunchy ice sound at beginning, sounds like the last Russian soldiers leaving Ukraine
Сколько вижу это судно а не понимаю для чего оно предназначено
Iron ore hauling. With the rare possibility of a load of coal or limestone.
@@LokiOdinson-fz8ps Интересно а в России такие появляются суда
