Appreciate it! For me it is a very special moment since it was the first time ever we came to Miami, and there is no words I can find to describe the feeling of happiness of been there at that moment! 🤩
@@Miami_V1ce totally understand that My first time up the Miami River was as a shrimp 🍤 boat captain, bringing my shrimp boat up to the Hemstead drydock for annual bottom cleaning and paint back in 1970
@0:09 the center green with no buildings(right before the bridge goes up) is the 2,000yr old evidence of People habitating: the Miami Circle, a roughly 2,000-year-old formation of holes cut into the bedrock near the mouth of the Miami River. The holes, which archaeologists now believe supported a Tequesta ceremonial structure, were the first discovery of their kind. I can really see with my minds eye, a people living here and thriving. I lived on the Miami River, on a sailboat, a mile north of Jones Boat Yaaad(Yard) and went from there. GOD Bless one and all.†
Hard to say exactly, but in reality it took us around 2 hours from entrance to the place we moored, and there is atlest half a mile more in this direction. You can probably count by a google maps pretty accurate till the last vessel terminal in there.
@@tmfe1986Hmm might be, I haven’t been there since 2019 so there might be some changes in a channel. But it definitely was longer, because we used to walk down the river for at least two more ship Terminals along the way.
Hi LaVi! I'm doing a project for school and our assignment is to compare our lives to a river. Being from Miami, I wanted some clips from a trip on the miami river and came across your video. Would you mind if I used some of the clips for my project??? Thank you!!! I would be happy to share it once the assignment is complete. Thank you!!!
Its surely expensive but still worth it. And yes you are right, the vessel is towed stern first when going out, since there is no place to turn around in this river.
The Miami River has thrived exactly this way for over a hundred years as a commercial seaport And annual commerce has more than doubled since the 1970s Ohhhh and the people of the Caribbean that are dependent on this seaport for their daily needs said, their glad you're not in charge, because they need this flow of goods that supply their island nations with goods and services By the way, the working part of the Miami River is only 5.5 miles long Try checking out how far up River New Orleans is. Or Baton Rouge, Memphis St Louis Saint Paul. Or how about Detroit, Chicago ect. ect.
Great Great video
Glad to see that Hemstead Tug doing such a great job pulling and it's big sister in back stearing 😊🚢☺

@@stephensmalldridge9504 Oh my.. half a century ago...and you still remember it... amazing! 🤩Are you still sailing or boating?
@@Miami_V1ce yes absolutely, I retired a very few years ago
But now, I live full time on my 55 foot trawler motor yacht in southwest Florida
@@stephensmalldridge9504 Incredibly! Wish you a tail wind then! 😎

Pretty cool video
Captain has mad skills. 👏
That was very tight at the end
So, I’m pretty sure at 2:00 that was Ebsary Foundation company on the right there, at least back in 1976-77 it was. Have no idea who’s there now.🤷🏻♂️
That was AMAZING!!
Great music to accompany this video what is the name of the song and group ?
Agree for a 100%. It is The Chain Gang of 1974 - Sleepwalking
Best movie about the Miami river here at youtube
Pleasure to hear that 😎
2:49 looks like the ship has hit the ship on the right side, because there is a vibration on the camera
for how many miles is the Miami River deep enough as to tolerate ships this big?
Hard to say exactly, but in reality it took us around 2 hours from entrance to the place we moored, and there is atlest half a mile more in this direction. You can probably count by a google maps pretty accurate till the last vessel terminal in there.
it looks like right after the place you docked theres a water gate (labeled S-26) , it seems to be the limit for those kind of ships@@Miami_V1ce

Sure, no problem, fill free to use it. Sorry for late response, didnt see the msg:)
@@Miami_V1ce and cuestión, how many bridge have miami river
@@josemendoza2546 It is probably more then 30 or around, I'm not sure, but we crossed only 15 of them by that time.
Шикарно!
Seems very costly and inefficient dragging a vessel that far inland. I assume it must be drug out stern first, given no turning basin?
