  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.

  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.

  Yes, I agree - Cuyahoga from last year, and now suddenly, Michipicoten too: what will happen with them? Tough decision to make - to fix it or to scrap it...

  Are they going to take the engines out

• 
  @RightInNiagaraАй бұрын

  I'm pretty sure the engines - and everything else - will be removed, sorted, and recycled as much as possible. The ship is being demolished. If you're wondering if the engines (or some other parts) will be saved and reused elsewhere - that I don't know. I would think that if there were unique items that other ship owners might want, they'll likely call up the yard and see what's available, and what condition it's in.

• 
  @TheUnflushedToiletАй бұрын

  @@johnsoper5675 I have heard that the diving team that looked at the cracked hull says that the Michipicoten is reparable, but it's really dependent on if Rand will put the money into repairing it. Also there's the Cuyahoga which is also in limbo, so far it seems Rand hasn't decided what to do with the Cuyahoga.

  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.

• 
  @TOTALCAMARO4 ай бұрын

  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.

  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.

  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

  It is VERY coincidental that you happened to mention Algomarine, today, in this video... because oddly enough, I had already pre-scheduled my video releases months ago, and tomorrow's video (set to come out Feb.28, 2024) is a video OF Algomarine, which I had made in 2015 but have just got around to posting now!!!!! That is quite a coincidence, I must say!!!! wow

  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.

  The fence preventing people from going close to the edge at Lock 1 was already there in 2012 when I took the video. The only difference is that the fence in 2012 was a short fence; a couple of years later they removed the short fence and built a taller fence on the same location, and the tall fence is still there. many of these area were open, but they have been slowly fencing them off.
