Nice shot, Cody. You know the way to get them is to work at it. The PRT ALWAYS has a very professional aura about her. Her long, straight, no nonsense lines, and her powerful horn and utter immensity all add to it. The Bear seemed to be in a hurry. Also her hull is awfully scraped up for a brand new ship. Must have difficult unloading, (the scrapes are high up on the hull,) docks to work.
Until I started to really pay attention, I never knew there could be so much variety in the horns(whistles). From the crazy loud dual tone James R Barker, to the bass heavy John G Munson and the loud and raspy Paul R Tregurtha. I know they get scraped up going through the locks on the Welland Canal as well but yes, I was surprised to see her so beat up already.
Day after engineers day there was an ambulance on its way to the ferry as it was on the other side of the river. They ended up kicking the few cars they loaded on off and bolted across the river to get the ambulance and bolt back across. The ferry captain waisted no time. How different they react to ambulance crossings vs regular car crossings.
I hadn't considered that the ferry is the only way for emergency services to reach the island. Not until I saw the fire truck pull up to the ferry then it all clicked into place.
Every 5 years Great Lakes freighters have a mandatory Coast Guard inspection and it is usually done during winter layup and that is when they usually give them a new paint job
Im not understanding what was so great or exciting about a boat honking its horn. Is it really any different than a car honking its horn? Why is this built up to be something? What is the angle? I mean would you even tell another person this news? "I saw a boat today, the horn honked" ??? How does anyone even respond to that? "OMG your kidding has this ever happened before" This just seems like grown adults getting excited to see a fire truck drive by. Now a boat taking out a bridge or crashing thats actually newsworthy.

Thank you! :)

Very nice episode Cody
Thanks for sharing
You bet!
Fantastic video👍🏻
Wow, the sky! 1:23
That was neat to see PRT "peek a boo" from behind Algoma Bear 😊
And as always, beautiful pictures of you, Argo!
Glad you enjoyed it Hannah!
I thought it was funny how the PRT could hide behind, well, anything.
@@codyandargo906 Right? PRT's a giant :)
Great video!!!! I have seen the mighty Paul R many times on the St. Clair River. What a sight!
It sure is!
Very nice Cody & Argo, you got lucky with the Bear Salute
I've been noticing more salutes from the Algoma ships lately. A few have saluted in the lock as well.
@@codyandargo906 that’s great, glad they are participating more with us boat nerds
AMAZING that as big as they are, and as mechanical as they are, these freighters are this quiet (from the outside) when they glide past you.
The Algoma Bear seems to be extra quiet. I have always been impressed that something so large can barely make any noise.
Yo I was right down the park from u I have the exact picture at that time of those ships passing
Nice! It was a great day to be down there.
Nice video❤❤❤
Many many thanks

Wow, I’ve never had any issues with crossing on the ferry ⛴️ before

The Bear is already a little rough looking.
Every 5 years Great Lakes freighters have a mandatory Coast Guard inspection and it is usually done during winter layup and that is when they usually give them a new paint job
The paint has a rough time going through the Welland Canal due to how they secure the ships while being raised/lowered.

People have different interests and for people interested in Great Lakes shipping, it is a big deal.
