Wow....what a story on her history!! If that was me sailing ahead of her, I would have been busting a move to get out of her way!!! Thank you for all of your knowledge ⚓🌊🛳
Sundew is on Google Maps as a Duluth Historical Site and I've looked at the photos but knowing her history now is much better. She's a good looker and it's cool to see what designs the Coast Guard has kept and what it changed over the years. She handles the Superior chop way better than that sail boat does. 😅
Yeah she’s one of those boats that are just kind of always there in the harbor and because of that nobody really stops and takes the time to really think about her! Amazing history behind her so they really should!
Thanks for a very informative narrative and most interesting video. I love reading about ships, big or small, that have managed to carry on at 80 years of age (or older). That this cutter was responsible for saving the lives of two crew members from the Bradley is something that will always be a part of her history. I'm thinking that the people in that sailboat must have had a death wish. If one can't move aside when on Lake Superior, there is a problem. It's not as if there isn't enough room, for God sakes. What was it trying to prove?
She certainly has an amazing story! Lol yeah not sure what they sailboat was thinking, maybe they didn’t want to turn in the waves but in that case they really shouldn’t have been out there in the first place
I served aboard the USCGC Resolute when she was stationed in Astoria Oregon. She was Commissioned in December 08,1966. For the larger ships, that's all the Coast guard has, floating fossil's.
The museum staff? I think so? Honestly not sure, both of the times I’ve seen her it’s been after hours when they’re not around but I imagine they have it
cooler than a Vista cruise-------------and likely safer. fine photography and an interesting history lesson. will look for her next Duluth trip
She looks so well cared for and loved. Marvellous to preserve history and excellent work actually getting to film her. 😊
She definitely does! Been on my bucket list to film for awhile! Sort of the opposite problem as most of the ships I rarely film lol
Thank you for providing the information on this ship. With all the folks onboard I wondered if she was providing tours.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I was a little nervous when that sailboat disappeared in front of her lol

I can only imagine how intense the bouncing around would have been on its way out to the Bradly. 💙💙💙
Yeah that must have been a horrific trip for a lot of reasons
Great catch, man.
She's a beauty. Long may she sail☺
She’s gorgeous! They did an awesome job fixing her back up

The Coast Guard has been building quite a few new vessels I hear! Duluth’s new cutter certainly isn’t a fossil lol, this one was retired in 04
Got to ride on her last year. My uncle is crew on board!
@@nssrrailfan lucky! I’m jealous, that sounds amazing!
When i was growing up she was in Charlevoix Michigan
Does the aerial lift bridge rattle off the specs of this ship like they do with the other lakers?
The museum staff? I think so? Honestly not sure, both of the times I’ve seen her it’s been after hours when they’re not around but I imagine they have it
cool
The sundew saved the 2 of the crew from the Carl d Bradley, the only survivors
Yep I have that as part of the written description! She’s got a extremely impressive history
