I haul this equipment around I know enough to load and unload them on trailers. Seeing them work is pretty neat

I graduated from Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Traverse City, Michigan. I would love for someone to explain to me why the Academy doesn't ask for and the companies don't offer to give the Academy a ship to be its training ship. Right now we have a crappy little diesel electric on loan from MARAD. Am I supposed to believe that the price for scrap metal pays so well that the companies can't donate one of these old girls to the Academy? You would get more from the charitable right off. You could make the ship a tourist attraction at the Academy when docked and make money to afford maintenance and fuel.

So sad to see their long careers ending that way 😢

So cool!

This bridge looks very similar to the famous Duluth Ariel Lift Bridge. Ships passing under the Duluth bridge sound there horns as a salute to the bridge operators who, in return, sound the horn on the bridge. The whole process is a delightful experience for the folks lining the Duluth Canal visitors area. Sam, Towson, MD, USA

I worked on this ship as well as her sister ships with Upper Lakes Shipping years ago.

My older brother was the 3rd engineer on this ship when it was brand new. They had a window cut in front of one the props so they could look at the effects of cavitation, they used a strobe light to stop action the prop. High tech stuff back then.

And who knows about the Cuyahoga? I hope not for her too. I hate seeing the Transport going. Unfortunately hauling salt did her in.

Are they going to take the engines out

It looks like the hull will be all that remains to be scrapped, when they move her into the scrap slip

😭 I don't know what possessed me to watch this 😢

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Given the events of the last few days, maybe the Michipicoten will be joining the ships here.

NO that's so sad!!!😭

Great information! Thanks for capturing this!👏

I’m at Atlantic Beach, NC and this ship is currently anchored off outside the port in Morehead City. It’s been there for a few days, I wonder what the crew is doing?

rip manitoba...

No matter how many times I watch this…

Biden will soon get rid of the entire great lakes fleet

The last forward pilothouse laker ever built!

I'm going to be a volunteer on this ship here in Kingston

Fascinating comments on the Flow.

Beautiful.

awesome, thank you for this video

Looks like a fresh coat of paint.

She has to be the most ill fated of the old lakers.

While working as a deck hand on the MV John B Aird, we were approaching lock 3 upbound. We were perhaps less than 10 feet from the approach wall and the First Mate I were at the forward end, when we heard a serious amount of metal sounds, tearing, crushing, etc. I said the the First Mate, "I think we just hit a car". Sure enough after we entered the lock, the Seaway shut down the canal and sent down into the water. Sure enough, it was recent dumping into the canal.

Hauling salt helped shorten her career unfortunately like it does to our cars on the roads. 😢Thank you for sharing this with us.

So sad knowing her long career has come to an end 😢 But her captain and her crew proudly went and took her under her own power to her final destination. She will live on through photos, videos and memories for her captain & crew and all of us. ❤ It would have been great to hear a salute between them. It’s hard to believe that the other one is 57 years old.

She’s definitely unique. What does she usually haul?

There enormous

Nice video 👍

Outstanding. Great catch on the Leitch. I love the night videos ❤❤❤❤

😢

Good job.

Extremely disappointed to see this. She used to be the Kinsman Independent… my grandfather’s final ship before retiring as a first mate of 3+ decades. Was hoping to take a job on her or at least a ride… now it’ll never happen.

I love those little slugs, I don't see any where I live.

😢

.a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you… Greetings Jörg

Beautiful.

Cool video. There's a bullseye painted on the flat rock at the head of the whirlpool where the helicopters land to retrieve the bodies who end up in the river :-) Peace

Looks like COLD work.

Why do all of Algomas ships look like they haven't been painted in 10 years?

Back in the day, and I was on vacation in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I was on a Soo Locks Tour Boat, and the Boat, that I was on went to the Algoma Steel Plant in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. I seen the Algomarine, unloading ore at the Algoma Steel Plant. I, took three pictures of the Algomarine, to this very day and I still have the three pictures of the Algomarine. She, was launched as Lake Manitoba. 6:41

Thanks for continuing to show us the classic lakers we have lost to 'modernization' in the last decade. The new generation of imported ships just cannot compare IMHO. I very much doubt the new boats will last 52 years. In many ways the Jones Act is a flawed law, but I do appreciate how it is helping to preserve US flagged classics for now.

Nice video

So eerily quiet and such a shame to see them like that. 😢 At least they live on in videos and photos. They will never be forgotten that way. ❤️

Beautiful piece. Not much snow on the ground.

I think I read you cant get this close anymore😢

Very pretty. Thanks for the twofer.
