Back in 78 and 79 I worked on several self unloading ships on the Great Lakes. The Belle River was the most impressive at 1000 ft long with bow and stern thrusters. Consequently it rarely needed a tow boat. The 14,000 horse power engines were also impressive.

Amazing how you're trying to put words in my mouth, perhaps to accuse me of anti-progressionism. So I start by returning another question: are you against the preservation of classic ships you can only find in the Great Lakes? But no, I am not against 'progress and improvement', but against the consequences they are bringing upon those classic ships. Sometimes it's simply not right to sweep the old in favor of the new, especially when it comes to things you can only find in just one place. That also explains how some Hulett unloaders were disassembled to be stored, and later on be reassembled elsewhere in the vicinity.

Actually many classic ships which were retrofitted with self unloading gears midway in their lives have been sent for scrap up until today.

Amazing how you're trying to put words in my mouth, perhaps to accuse me of anti-progressionism. So I start by returning another question: are you against the preservation of classic ships you can only find in the Great Lakes? But no, I am not against 'progress and improvement', but against the consequences they are bringing upon those classic ships. Sometimes it's simply not right to sweep the old in favor of the new, especially when it comes to things you can only find in just one place. That also explains how some Hulett unloaders were disassembled to be stored, and later on be reassembled elsewhere in the vicinity.

I worked at Bay Ship back in the 70s and 80s and back then we converted the older ships into self unloaders so none were taken out of service and are still sailing today

Actually many classic ships which were retrofitted with self unloading gears midway in their lives have been sent for scrap up until today. Some notable examples were the Joseph H Frantz, Calumet II and Mississagi. Just because they are retrofitted with self unloaders doesn't mean they will 'last forever'.

@@kazukikashiwazaki4823 and now you are putting words in my mouth I never said they will last forever and you are correct some have been scraped but there are also some that are still sailing over the last 10 years Bay Ship has replaced the oil burning steam engines on the older ships with Diesel engines so for the owners to invest that much money I would think they plan on using them for a while
You guys are using the same background music as Joseph Prince Ministries use on their program.
