The ships are really fun, but I absolutely love finding the unique things to look at while we are looking at them, while not noticing them. If that all makes sense? 😂😂 An example, not many people look down and notice the reflection inside of a puddle, but I love seeing the reflection of something cool providing a new perspective. Looking at the bridge in the reflection of a puddle is something that not everybody thinks about doing, but it’s cool when you see it. Another thing is looking at the shadow from the bridge on a ship. How many people think about that shadow? However, I think it’s cool to see the bridge outline from the shadow on a ship passing under. You also see other things I like capturing birds, sand, etc. I just have a lot of fun trying to make it interesting and covering some of the art things I like as well in a ship video. I hope you are doing well. I know it’s late there in Italy, I appreciate you taking time out of your evening to drop a comment and mentioned the artistic part of the videos.

They never get old. You are so right. Here’s some more information about those salutes if people want to know. There have been a few questions about the boat and bridge signal horns when the boats are entering and leaving the Port of Duluth. In most cases, once radio communication with the bridge has been established, use of the boat and bridge sound signals are not necessary and operation of the sound signals is left up to the captains. Often, boats will not use the loud horns after dark as a courtesy to city residents. So, most often when you hear the customary whistle/horn-blowing sequence of "long-short-short" it is a friendly salute to the Port of Duluth from the ship captain and is responded to by the lift bridge operator with the same sequence. The Master Salute is an upgraded more formal whistle/horn salute. That is “long-long-long-short-short.” While the famous sound may be a courtesy, it has long been part of the nautical tradition of this great inland sea port.

Thank you for this video. Your commentary was excellent.

@@vibewithmike My family has been going there since Canal Park was a mostly-unused gravel lot. My great-grandparents were from Minneapolis and used to spend weekends on the shore whenever they could. My grandparents got to where they could look at a ship far out in the lake and tell if it was headed to Silver Bay, Two Harbors, or Duluth. Then they'd "race it in," no matter what time of the day or night. My first visit was as a young child in 1992, and I've probably been back 15-20 times since then (now bringing my own kids with -- the fifth generation in my family to call it "our place.") I kind of miss the shore the way it used to be, with the fishing shanties and all the Mom 'n' Pop cabin rentals. But it's great to see more people getting there to enjoy it too. It's more fun to watch my kids enjoy the big ships coming in than to watch them myself!

@@vibewithmike I listened early this morning and was quite an experience to hear everyone talking. Being a radio ham, I was struck by the poor VHF signals and think the weather was hampering them due to heavy soaking of the antennas, shunting the signal, not to mention all the pitching and rolling. It was also interest in to hear the trepidation in the Anderson’s captain’s voice, when the CG asked him to go back and look for survivors. A lot of people would think negatively but he was indeed responsible for the lives of his crew; so I actually think that during the pause, he probably took a bit of a straw-poll amongst his crew and concluded that if the situation was reversed, they’d be hopeful that someone would turn around and do the same for his ship and crew. In other words, I think he realized that it was a high probability of a suicide mission, so he had a lot to think about, and was not totally alone in being influenced to make that hard call. Finally, hats off to the CG PBY pilot for going out in that hellacious storm. However, he would not have been able to pick anyone up, because his plane would have been capsized by even one of the lesser waves. The only thing he could do is search and maybe drop survival provisions, which is valuable because he has a better view and can cover more territory. My feeling is that the Fitz broke-up (and probably lost power) so fast that you couldn’t even Mayday! Anyway, thanks for sending the GC voice link; everyone interested should listen to it!

That’s an excellent point, these ships can move a lot faster than you would expect being that size. Happy Friday, my friend. God bless. I hope you subscribe (it’s free) and come back to my channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️

I’m hoping for good weather this coming weekend so I can live stream a ship from my boat. It’ll be a cool new perspective.

Thanks for sharing this video with us it was nice
