Thanks Mike great video, have done the ship canal around ten years ago when the breach at Anderton happened, to get back on the Bridgewater, loved it but we had to breast up for the whole of the trip!
Great video!!! I love the style and editing of your filming - it captures the atmosphere and makes me feel like I am actually "on board" your boat!!! I appreciate the fact that you kept the original sound throughout (no music necessary), and you didn't add a boring commentary, because the video was just naturally great as it is. National TV companies should use your technique when making documentaries, but instead they foolishly add corny music and stick an irritating presenter up front who talks too much.
Is there a charge to use a lock??? Drinking a beer, cruising about in boats, looks great. Away from roads, look at that stinking traffic on that bridge.
There is a charge to go from one part of the canal to another for pleasure boats which cover lock costs. Commercial boats presumably pay tonnage rates for miles and for each lock.
Yes there are now. The canal water is considerably cleaner now than seven years ago when this was made. The ship canal is fed by the River Jewell and The River Mersey. During this Summer's hot spell Irlam locks was full of floating fish killed by the lack of oxygen due to the heat.
If you dont know boating these are the type that never smile never wave and go to fast, like they are going somewhere, which their not, because they are doctors and accounts that have never done a actual manual job. Its all a big show, and we all know it.
None of the people on these boats are Doctor's or accountants. Spey is run by a large group of owner shareholders who all maintain the boat themselves and most are mechanics and engineers or musicians! Watch my video of them docking Spey in one or my other videos or when Tom Kitchen too it to Salford to the Folk Awards.
@@mykaskin so apart from the jobs they do, i was right, and I did say type. You lot do have the rep of looking down your noses, not the diesel boats, but the ones moving nothing but tanks water. Big show about nothing
@@dennisthedog4015 You mentioned not doing a manual job - so I was coving that observation. As to going too fast - I think you'll find that they like to get a move on without messing about, some people (me included) like to go boating, not floating. As to never waving - I find that hard to believe, I always wave to boaters and people enjoying the boats on the towpath. I'm pretty sure these guys do too. They put a lot of work into making and keeping the boats looking good and appreciate anyone enjoying the boats as they do.
Brilliant little video and great soundtrack. Loved it.
I love the sound of those engines.

A great video, thanks for sharing
Did the MSC trip some years ago on Snowdrop, totally fascinating experience !!
Now that takes me back to the early 60s when I joined a Prince line ship as a raw deck cadet.
Great and thoroughly enjoyed the film
Brilliant. I did tthe same trip aboard the Mersey Ferry "Egremont" in 1961.

thanks mike brilliant vid, looks fun :)
Certainly looks different than when l sailed up and down with T&J Harrison Line in the early 1970's
Haha 2:35 dog is running his little bollocks off and yet going nowhere!
Passing into the Boat Museum basin the old brick lighthouse on the right is now the Northwest Regional Office of the Fire Brigades Union.
Amazing. Thanks

Wonderfull Wonderfull Wonderfull
Hows your new prop doing?
Do you feel a great differance?
¿.Es esto un trabajo ? Es muy interesante,me gustaría conocer esto de más cerca ,debe ser un trabajo muy antiguo .
How come the leeds and liverpool short boat passes Victoria?
Completely missed out going through Irlam locks between Barton locks and Partington Basin.
how deep is that water where ship is
I really liked the young womans jumper. It is really hard to find dresses for simply knocking about, and not for dress up.
Have done the Ship Canal twice. Now turns around at Latchford Locks 🔒 🙄

...down the Manchester Ship Canal. So does that mean Salford to Liverpool then is going up the Manchester Ship canal?
havingalook2 Salford were we start is higher than the Mersey, and we are heading down stream so yes, down the Ship Canal.
😁👍👏👏👏
Are there any fish in that ship canal?
Ive seen porpoises in there
Yes there are now. The canal water is considerably cleaner now than seven years ago when this was made. The ship canal is fed by the River Jewell and The River Mersey. During this Summer's hot spell Irlam locks was full of floating fish killed by the lack of oxygen due to the heat.
