I was an international seaman when I was young. I traveled between Great Lake and Japan frequently from 1971 to 1973. I remember one time the ship went to Duluth in early April, the ship sailed to Lake Superior, the lake was still a large piece of ice floes, the ship was in Sailing on the ice, so far.... still not forgetting the strange and beautiful Great Lakes
Really enjoyed the live control of the Lighthouse Cam, really brings another dynamic to all the great Duluth cam's, hopefully you can continue to do it in the future.
I view Duluth harbour cams cince years and i am follower of buddy Paul Scinocca. But sadly can´t understand the most. Many greetings from Germany : - )
@@michaelborgelt1600 perhaps RUclips has an additional tool that interprets to your native German? I'm not sure, however, if they don't, they certainly SHOULD!!!!
The locks from the ocean into the lakes are incredibly tight. Most ships fit inside with maybe a few inches of room on each side. It’s why the Canadian lakers especially look so rough
Poor Resko, you look like you got burns on your way to Duluth. But I just got thinking, what if they made the original span of the bridge hollow or get rid of it entirely allowing for more clearance
The Seaway and Welland Canal locks are particularly bad for ship paint. You'll notice it a lot more on Canadian ships that transit them a lot compared to American ships that only transit the Soo.
This is the best Duluth video I've seen yet.
The radio traffic makes all the difference.
Thanks for sharing this.

@@324bear Thanks for answering, bear ; - ) They don´t have, but never mind i like the videos.
Dynamic film 📽️ footage, coupled with the conversation between the tug captain & docking pilot.
Terrific. Great photography and sense of being there. :-)
You know that spring is coming when the salties start coming to town!
So neat!!! Thank you.
Thank you for your work!
Got some battle scars!
I heard "It's like Oatmeal Crisp" HAAAAAAAAAH 6:25
Cripes! What happened to the side of it? That looks like more than wear and tear. : )

Don…there are good people on both sides
I stand by my observation
Stay safe everyone. 72 today in ohio and drizzle rain.hope everyone had a good day.
Powered by a two-stroke inline 6 cylinder diesel engine resulting in 11,800hp! 😎

It looks the the Resko took a torpedo on the starboard hull
Poor Resko, you look like you got burns on your way to Duluth. But I just got thinking, what if they made the original span of the bridge hollow or get rid of it entirely allowing for more clearance
That ship looks like it’s ready to retire
I'm curious 🤔 as to when they passed through the Snell lock and Eisenhower lock and how long it takes to get to Duluth.
Listening to their chatter
Is here any doubt to why
the starboard side is all grunched in?
The Seaway and Welland Canal locks are particularly bad for ship paint. You'll notice it a lot more on Canadian ships that transit them a lot compared to American ships that only transit the Soo.
They basically ride the walls of the canals.
please educate me, what is a "saltie"?
Non lakers
A ship that sails the oceans. Designed for salt water. Saltie
Cool
she's a bit scuffed up!
Nice
Alright, dad is going to freak out. Who was driving and scratched the paint ?
the locks are to small! :)
Why does the Wisconsin point Cam not working
No power, that cam is several miles from civilization by road, and in the middle of the woods. Not an easy location to make repairs
These ships came in without the salute, which is disappointing.
I was just thinking that same thing!
Not unusual. It's the Captains choice whether or not he wants to render a salute after establishing voice communication with the bridge operator.
What a crappy place to live. Cold and desolate. Hope the pay top tier to keep people from leaving to better climates.
