- COMING THROUGH!
Algoma Sault exits the Welland Canal at Port Colborne with a 1 long 2 short signal.
The signal (horn) of one long and two short blasts means that the ship is altering its course to starboard (right). This signal is commonly used when two ships are approaching each other head-on and the ship on the port (left) side intends to move to the starboard side to avoid a collision.
I first thought the signal was for me, but looking back, i think there was a pleasure craft boat heading towards the ship as I was pretty much close to the wall and engines off.
Regardless, It's always great to capture the sound of the horn.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the footage that I captured of the vessel exiting Port Colborne and making her way out on to Lake Erie.

Hi Nigel. Loved the video as always. But as a suggestion, would have added more interest to show her retired sister Algoma Transport. We’re never satisfied are we? Always wanting more. Sorry Nigel. Xx
Funny you say that, a few days earlier, I flew the drone over the Algoma Transport (what's left of her) but didn't know what to do with it.
Maybe I'll play with the video later and upload it.
Thankfully, on that day, it was sunny
It is too bad we do not build these ships here anymore. I remember as a kid while on holiday in the Georgian Bay area driving by the ship yard in Collingwood seeing the MV Nanticoke being built in the late 70's and into 1980. Back then we lived right on the shore of Lake Erie in Nanticoke and would watch those giants come and go across the lake hauling to ore to Stelco, coal to Nanticoke GS, and tankers hauling crude to the new Texico refinery. Now the refinery is Imperial, Stelco is owned by US Steel, the coal generation plant is gone, MV Nanticoke gone to scrap, Collingwood Shipyards are condos and townhomes, and the new lake freighters are made in China.
Sadly, nearly all ship buildings are now in China.
Costs over local economy sadly.
I'm still hoping to ride down to Nanticoke before the winter to capture one of the bigger vessels arriving with coal.
It's nice to see (and hear) this part of waterway. Thanks
Another fantastic video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how close you get to the ships!
This is horrifying. I LOVE WATCHING, but am terrified of large ships and being near them.

I'd have an actual heart attack being in the water at that moment. How is the water that deep that close to shore? Step in and fall to murky death.
In the channel coming out of Port Colborne, it's 20-30ft
I would only be worried if I had engine failure, but then I still have a paddle to help me stay away from the ahip
One long and two short blasts on the horn is a greeting or salute. Leaving Lake Erie ships enter the Detroit River followed by Lake St Clair then the St Clair River and Lake Huron. Bound for Goderich probably means they'll be loading road salt.
I initially thought that but I googled it and got 2 different answers
