​@vibewithmike reminds me of Charleston, watching the ships going back and forth, wondering where they came from or heading to

I've sailed in thick fog where I couldn't see much beyond my own ship, but having your own bow sticking out 250 feet beyond visible range is something else. That must be like sticking your nose into a portal to another dimension. You could be steering into sea monsters for all you know. Well, I suppose it'd only be lake monsters, that's probably an acceptable risk.

@MattH-wg7ou these ships are absolute beasts. They are so large. I believe they are using AIS and radar that they have on the vessel. I would be nervous.

At 4:18 in the video, you'll witness a potentially dangerous situation. A very small fishing boat is hugging the north pier canal wall as it heads in from Lake Superior, just as the massive ship is halfway through the canal. The dense fog created zero visibility for both the ship's captain and the fishing boat's driver, turning this into a potentially catastrophic scenario. This tense moment highlights the unpredictability and risks of navigating in such severe weather conditions.

What a ‘mysterious’ departure of the American Integrity! The appearance out of the fog of the bow as the Pilothouse is shrouded and unseen, then as the bow disappears the Superstructure is seen in all its glory, to again be lost to our sight. The American Steamship Line, led by Kevin & Doug, has able Captains on their roster. I pray for calm seas & following winds for the Crew. Another grand video, Mike.

@@vibewithmike No, I cannot imagine piloting something that large through such thick fog; kudos to that captain! Yes, it was indeed risky for that person to take a small boat out in this, and to pass a freighter. No visibility to speak of, and I would imagine that the wake of a vessel of this size is significant. If an accident would have happened, who would have seen it and been able to assist? Best to stay on land in this- plus, how does a small boat’s driver expect to maneuver on the lake in fog? I know little about boats, but don’t think that your average small boat is equipped with any kind of refined navigational technology that enables the driver to pilot in poor visibility, as freighters would have. Hopefully no harm came to those people.

Steve, I didn’t know what to expect when I saw that huge asshole come out of the fog. That was so cool to see it. It really was awesome.

Kudos to the captin of the American Integrity. Navigating through that fog must be nerve wracking!

It’s amazing what the captains can do in the fog. I can’t wait for the video that I’m posting tomorrow, and I’m hoping you will be able to watch it too. I finally was able to go onboarda 1000-foot ship and give a tour for everybody. You will not want to miss this action. Please click the upcoming video link below, then click “Notify me” and KZread will let you know when the video premiers live! See you soon! kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGiavKidmbeuh5c.htmlsi=D0YgnwtWetSrHGod

As a landlocked person for my whole life except for a few ocean visits, the fact that something so big can move is so astounding to me. I also love that bridge. It's so impressive.

It’s really fun to watch the interaction between the bridge and the ship. Also, it’s entertaining watching people get excited on the pier as well when the ships come in.

What an amazing testament to human nautical engineering. What a privilege to see. Respect from Scotland. A deserved subscription.

The beautiful country of Scotland! Now that is a place I want to visit after watching so many KZread videos and meeting so many cool Scottish people over the years. This was definitely an interesting video to record because of the fog. I thank you for taking time out of your weekend to watch the video, then taking even more time to write a comment and to even subscribe. I truly thank you. And I definitely know we will have some fun with these ship videos moving forward. All the best to you and yours. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️

Oh my goodness, 108°! You could fry an egg on concrete! That is unbelievable. I hope you have some ice and a drink for sure.

Mike, this was a very enjoyable video to watch. I find unusual weather situations quite interesting. In fog, vessels are required to sound their horn in short bursts every 2 minutes. And for folks who might not know, the St. Clair destination is located along the St Clair River south of Port Huron, Michigan. They are delivering low sulfur coal to the Detroit Edison power plant.

Hi Chuck thanks for the up date ! what is on the ship and where it is going ! In the big ship world Fog is just another day at the office ! They have all the latest electronics gear and they know what they are doing ! It is amazing how electronics have evolved over the years Back in 1964 we had Loran A Accurate to 5 miles When we were 500 miles at sea a position within 5 miles was pretty good Then it went to Loran C Which was Accurate between 2 miles or 16 feet depending on your location and how the receiver was tuned Then GPS came along if you were stationary it showed your position moving around in a circle One time we were at a gas well buoy off long point a known fixed position and the Loran and GPS were 2 miles apart ! Then electronic charts came along and if you were moving you were just ahead of your position on the screen the boat would move ahead 50 feet Then the boat on the electronic chart would catch up Now with the new broad band radars they can see seagulls flying and electronic charts are so accurate they can see the boat rolling at the dock The guy in the small boat was hugging the wall It probably was a "MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE" for him He might have been tracking the ship movement on his phone ? Or going out to the tug ? There is a saying only a Fool will set out ! ( boy that was dumb !) Only a Seaman will Return ! Hard to say what the condition s were further out on the lake ? I had my boat out on lake Erie Sunday same conditions rain fog visibility 2 telephone poles (I got radar) half a mile from shore it cleared up sun shining beautiful day ! Have a great day !

@ostbagar3 fog fog, and more fog

Hey Mike, and ALL OF THE GLOBAL BOAT FRIEND NATION, from an 80 degree with not much wind in Bismarck. What a crazy day in Dtown with the thick fog you could cut with a knife. This my favorite of the ASC line, and truely is a majestic vessel….. She kind of pops out of the fog like some sort of magic act, and that fishing boat must have soiled his shorts when all of a sudden there was a K footer coming right at him with no place to go…. That is one for the books that is for sure. Thank God no one was hurt is all I can say, and I will wager the fishing boat captain gets a phone call from the harbor Master asking why he did not have his radio on at the very least. Again a 5x5 recording comes in crystal clear, really shows the fog and how the ship fades in and then out leaving …. Outstanding video really shows a different side of the Big Lake. Thank you kind sir! And keep BRINGING THE THUNDER!
