Our Herbert C. Jackson navigating the winding Cuyahoga River
At 690-feet, our Herbert C. Jackson is one of the largest River-Class vessels shuttling iron ore up the Cuyahoga River in the heart of Cleveland. It takes serious skills to navigate up and down the river. Watch how she backs into the turning basin to head out of the river.

That takes skill, wow, hats off to the the person manning the wheel.
There’s some skill involved there that is admirable to anyone.
The ore is loaded in Minnesota and brought down to Cleveland. He was waiting for an opening anchored at the old Hulett Dock in the Western outer harbor. That trip can take an hour. They move very slowly and carefully with all that weight. The ships have bow thrusters and they don’t need tugs any longer. On a windy day they might use one or two. Collision Bend is a work of art by a 800’ ship.
Thank you for this. That turn around was cool to see.
Now that's what I call Seamanship!
Truly worth watching . . . REAL reality TV!!!
Love this! I can't wait to see all the "girls " from Interlake this coming 2023 season! I live in Wickliffe so I can see them anywhere from Toledo, Cuyahoga River, Fairport, Ashtabula and points in between! Thank you for sharing and taking care of your crews and ships!
Wow! Hard to be the helmsman, I'd imagine...! 🤔👍😎
The finest mariners I the world are sailing the Great Lakes.
AMAZING!!!! 😊👍❤️
I don't know how they can do that at night time with all those lights amazing

Industrial Cleveland is a thing of beauty...Steel tariffs now!
Wow this was cool !
Sweet!!!
Reminds me of The Beatles song - The Long And Winding Road.
Cool as F!
She didn't travel very far from the ore dock to the mill. Is it more cost effective to use the freighter than to ship by train, thanks

That was just a staging area at the start of the video. The ore dock that loaded the ship is probably in Duluth, Minnesota.
Talk about threading the needle in that big ship 🚢 🧵 🪡
No wonder those things are keep coming in the flats in Cleveland Ohio where I live at.

This looks a lot different from sitting at Settlers Landing or by the Powerhouse in the flats watching the ships go by.

@@epistte Yeah you and me both 👁👁🌊🚢🌊
Oh I get it, freighter ships like that are here to get some loads of cargo.
You should take the time and show the ship in real-time. Or stop wasting our time, please.🍁🙂
Terrible music
