All I Ask is a Tall Ship… Tiberborg Arrives Off a Choppy Lake

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- For a relatively small 565ft vessel, the saltie Tiberborg certainly feels massive! Absolutely towering over the Duluth Piers, she arrived for grain at Superior’s CHS Elevators. With a carrying capacity of around 20,000 tons and just under a million cubic feet of cargo space, she makes up for her small length in a big way! Built in 2013, she is owned by the Dutch Wagenborg company, historically a regular customer for Duluth, but have been less common this season with the Gavalon Elevator moving away from Beet Pulp Pellets, their typical cargo. Instead of Beets, she came for wheat, destination not clear yet, it looks like she’s making a pit stop in Montreal before setting out overseas, therefore her ultimate destination is unknown until she’s done there, but it’s likely to be in Europe or Africa.
Not much information is available about her history other than she is named after Rome, Italy’s Tiber River, and she can carry a massive variety of different cargo types including grain, turbine parts, industrial equipment, containers, other boats, and much more. She has been a frequent visitor to the Great Lakes region since her construction. Equipped with four small cranes, she can load and unload nearly any cargo at any location. She is currently about halfway through the standard service life of a saltie, and her smaller size has allowed her to remain virtually unblemished by the tight Welland Locks, which can absolutely shred the paint off of larger and wider vessels.
Also featured is the Vista Star, which bailed on their normal route around the lake after getting tossed around an uncomfortable amount for the passengers by the choppy waters. She quickly turned about and surfed into the canal going faster than I’ve ever seen her go before, then taking a longer harbor cruise in calmer waters. While it was very mild for the larger ships, she just isn’t built for that!
Sorry about the wind noise in this video (and others recently), the small plastic cover I used to hold the wind noise foam over my microphone broke, and was starting to make more noise than the actual wind, so I took it off. Trying to find a new one!
I was amused to see the Vista Star scooting off the lake like a shark was after her. Watching the waves, in the canal, it's easy to understand why she didn't want to stay out there. The Tiberborg looked great, coming in light, off the lake. For such a small saltie, she impressive. And don't worry about the sound of the wind, in the video! It adds a bit of emphasis to the efforts you put in to produce these videos for us landlubbers around the country to see. Our thanks.
@@user-AZ-phil lol 😂 yeah I’m surprised they even went out in the first place. And yes Tiberborg looks FAR larger than 565ft long!
I am always amazed by the size of the onboard cranes. Good looking Saltie
Hard to believe these are “small” cranes! She’s a very good looking saltie for sure!
It is always nice to see a Dutch ship far from home.🇳🇱
@@peterw1609 glad to have you here, far from the lakes! We get quite a few Dutch vessels come to Duluth!
Found myself holding my breath as she went under the bridge. 😮
What a totally different and interesting type of ship she is to the usual ones.
@@pixie706 yeah she’s tall! Tight fit through there! I love the unusual ships!
Sweet video and interesting write-up! Hope no one got sick on the Vista Star! It did look like it was bobbing around quite a bit! That was a nice angle you got on that ship, and it looked massive on approach! Sounds like it will be doing a lot of travel far away from here apart it departs! Thanks for the fun video! I was happy to see it!
@@DressyBessie thank you! Same, I hope everyone had a good time despite the waves lol. Been trying to find a good angle for salties for a long time! They’re some of the most impressive vessels but it’s extremely difficult to convey that on film, so they don’t often get the attention they deserve! Glad I found one that actually worked!
@@jonathanellsworth21 Yes waves on a boat can actually be fun sometimes! The speed probably helped! I'm sure not too often you would experience a ride like that on the Vista Star! 😄
@@DressyBessie yeah I personally enjoy the waves but I know others don’t!
One of my favorite life experiences was on a cruise ship in a hurricane
@@jonathanellsworth21 Oh wow! I would be sick! 😄
What a gorgeous ship! Nice way to end the day after having to hide from tornadoes all day here in Upstate NY! Who'd a thought!!!
@@bevpearson8268 glad you’re safe! Had some tornadoes up in this area about a month ago, always a little scary regardless of the actual chances of getting hit! Weirdly thrilling though as well!
"And all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by."
@@jamesnelson6980 was hoping someone would get the reference!
@@jonathanellsworth21 "I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and sky, and all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by. And the wheels kick and the winds song and the white sails shaking, and a grey mist on the seas face, a grey dawn breaking".
Thanks for sharing
It is unlike other ships that I have seen
I Ju googled it
Apparently it is on the way to Montreal
@@sillarsscott7694 Montreal is just a pit stop, they’ll cross the Atlantic for sure, otherwise a Canadian laker would have taken the shipment, rather than a saltie! I’ll update the description when it’s known what their final stop will be! And yeah she’s pretty different!
What happens if the bridge has people on it, and it needs to be raised ?
At the start of this video I saw people on the bridge and thought of this question.
@@dmmchugh3714 doesn’t happen, the bridge has cameras all over so they know if anyone tries to go up with it, plus they raise the bridge at least 10 minutes before any large ship arrives, so they have plenty of time to let people cross or call off the ship and intervene if needed
I thought it was a Laker until I read the description. Thanks for the video!
@@davidellis2021 yep, she’s a saltie! I think the only laker with deck cranes is Harvest Spirit, and she’s never been to Duluth yet
@@jonathanellsworth21 Thanks. I watch these video's from Switzerland were we don't have the laker/saltie confusion!
Showing a lot of bulbous bow. Must be empty. That was a great piece.
Has any ships ever scraped the bridge bottom.
Wagenborg firmanın gemileri hepsi temiz ve etkileyici modellere sahip
They do! Very clean ships, especially for oceangoing vessels
@@jonathanellsworth21 👍👍👍
Another great video!! Your knowledge is amazing.....⚓🛳🌊
Thank you! I try my best lol, this one was very difficult to find information on lol
