Its amazing to see such a huge vessel passing from under the raised road bridge. Great technology to have made it possible. And also nice to see people applauding and waiving at the ship staff.Though been a sailor for 8years but never been or seen this earlier. Thanks for sharing.
@Dakotah Anderson Absolutely
@@BarnabasCollinsXIII thanks for sharing the information. Would want to visit Duluth some day.
Now, by May 2020, more than 53 millions views, marveled at the beauty of such an ordinary scene for Duluth residents. This common bridge on the shores of Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, and the heroic and kind citizens of this place, gave their positive contribution to the increasing admiration worldwide. This is not only cool, this is magical ! People, people. People who loves people. Oh my gosh !
Talk about a flashback!!!
I lived in Duluth in the mid 70s when my dad worked for the DM&IR.....My mom would bring me and my 3 brothers down to watch the ships all of the time.
Hell....I even remember the night/morning The Fitz sank.......Such a tragic loss.
Great video.......and some great memories of my childhood.
Mike Habic **Thank you for sharing Mike .
Definitely a great video. I'm from st johns newfoundland. I was very fortunate to watch a huge cruise ship head out of harbor. I was at the most narrow point. The ship was all lit up. I was actually that close to the ship as it was passing thru I could hear people talking on the boat.
Being from the Niagara region I have many memories of the Welland ship canal and the lakers who have navigated its waters but this is sensational and thank you for the video!
Behemoth of a ship.. wonder struck at the following
1. Size of the ship
2. Power of the engines to push dat Behemoth
3. The Depth at dat part of the channel for a ship of dat size to pass
4. The skill of the crew to get dat beast through a narrow lane..
5. Some beautiful people waving to dat ship n crew..a morale booster for the crew for choppy days ahed
👌 respect 🙌 👏 🙏
size 1,013 ft long width 105ft 2 power of then engines 1,500 hoursepower 3 depth is 32 feet last time I heard
That ship is big enough to be a city, and have its own zip code! Huge!
Bobby Tucker 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀you right
That was an awesome video. Thank you 🙏🏼 I love seeing the giant Lakers. It’s fabulous to get another perspective of what I’ve been seeing further down the Great Lakes system on the Canadian side.
The Welland canal has a lift bridge similar to Duluth’s for the giant Lakers like this, circumventing Niagara Falls from Lake Erie south to Lake Ontario. 😊 I have sat watching the Lakers go under the bridge there many times. It never gets old. ❤
I remember when I was a kid in 1975 my Dad drove by that bridge it was nighttime so we didn't see anything other than bright lights but it was pretty cool to see anyways, they don't have those here in Memphis Tennessee ✌️
I go to Duluth almost every weekend and watching these monster ships come in never gets old!
the captain of such a huge vessel must have perfect navigational skills to pass such a narrow place under the bridge at Duluth MN
Thank you for this video 🙂 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
So true! 👍🏻
I think it helps if
you’re familiar with
The waterway and currents.
It is not captain probably pilot….
Sailed under that bridge a few times in 1948 on the ussteel boat Horace Johnson GREAT PEOPLE UP THERE LOVE GOING THERE .BEAUTIFUL TRIP

Thanks! It was awesome!

Incredible!!!!
My son and I had a unexpected encounter at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel when we saw a U.S. Navy Submarine come up from under to go over the tunnel and then submerged back down after clearing the tunnel. I thought it was a buoy at first glance but it kept moving then I realized it was the periscope from the submarine. The expression on my son’s face was priceless. I wish I had video of that moment.
Love Duluth. Grew up going there, spent a few years there at school too. The lift bridge is always a cool place to just go and hang out around in the summer time.
oh my god it's beautiful voice beautiful video thank you so much for presenting video for the people

As someone who’s lived in Duluth my entire life, I’m shocked to see this video has 35 million views when I see these ships enter the harbor every single day. Makes me realize I take it for granted. This really is cool, I guess.
Jock Marais ASMR Not only 35 millions views, but more than 50 millions by now, January 2020. There is something magic in this apparently simple scene. Probably something universal, Superior, magnificent that appeals to common people. Duluth, please, call me back .
Jock Marais ASMR >>>THIS MAGIC VIDEO (5:55) is not only cool : hear the sounds, the guys laugh in background, the JOY in the air, the sky . There is lots of life !

You are lucky, man. Nice place to live
The skill it takes to get something that huge through an area that small, and in a storm it is amazing.
That's the same thing my girlfriend keeps telling me 😜👍
This is one of the most spectacular sights in the United States. That ship went through a VERY narrow passage. Watching a big Superlaker at close range is a real thrill - and in a place like this, you're likely to get very wet. I grew up in Wisconsin and always wanted to go to Duluth-Superior, but didn't get there until I was 68 years old and had lived in California for almost half a century. This ship is the longest ship on the Great Lakes, at 1,013 feet long.

Thanks for your reply.
And to think less than four hundred years ago the Americans were torturing and burning the single women mature ladies and aged spinsters at the stake for heresy, witchcraft, curing and advising their peers and others!!
Hi joe from New York.

It’s a dead boring place, in other words??
But seriously if you could add a musical score for this clip using anything recorded during the 1960’s or popular when you had this sort of ambitious hankering, what music would you pick?
Just curious, I will give it a ponder also!!

yep ! Viva Queen Tregurtha ..always happy to meet you
in Duluth even if the sky is grey 💕
What an awesome sight seeing this beautiful lake freighter plow through those waves in the canal no less! Safe travels guys...❤
Two things people do not understand:
1) the "hole" in the side is just the top coat of paint scrubbed off because of passing through locks. There is no hole.
2) the "dirty water" is just the sediment mixed up with the water because of rough waters and it being forced through the narrow pass.
Thank you those were the 2 actual thoughts that crossed my mind as I was watching this video. You read my mind.
And to that last comment you are A ASS HOLE WIPE. YA RUDE ASS BITCH. SHAME ON YOU
Lake Superior is one of the cleanest lakes you’ll ever see!

I enjoyed the hell outta this- thanks!!!!
I've always wanted to be one of the guys on those 1000' vessels. Coming out of the harbor to literally spend a few weeks at sea. But usually I'm just watching from the old Arrowhead Bridge while I hook up walleye, cats, and sturgeon. I've been in AZ for a year too, I'm looking forward to the cold, the wind, the woods, and especially fish.

Not really
The biggest of the great lakes too
Visited Duluth and Lake Superior with our friends from MN back in 1995
Mighty fine boat video you have mister! :o)
Hola hhhyo

MV Paul R. Tregurtha is a Great Lakes-based bulk carrier freighter. She is the current Queen of the Lakes, an unofficial but widely-recognized title given to the longest vessel active on the Great Lakes. Wikipedia
Length: 309 m
Capacity: Iron ore: 68,000 long tons (69,000 t); Coal: 63,616 long tons (64,637 t)
Speed: 15.5 knots (28.7 km/h; 17.8 mph)
Tonnage: 14,497 net register tonnage; 36,360 GT
Port of registry: Wilmington, Delaware, United States
Installed power: 2 × MaK M43C 6-cylinder inline four-stroke diesel engines 8,560 bhp (6,380 kW) each
Very cool, my grandpa used to sail the great lakes before the Korean war. He was the engineer for the coal boilers that powered the steam engines. He says that the entire boat used to go under water, but that they never were scared because they new the boats were made to handle the waves. Still amazed by his stories!
I am greatly impressed by trhe fact that the ship isnt bobbing up and down constantly even though the water is rough
26,000 tons of iron ore keeps it pretty darn stable!!

Hi
Yes, really a giant ship. Also, genius idea how that bridge was made. Thanks for sharing.
That is freaking awesome🤯 !!!!!!!!
This is one huge tanker. The length of it is amazing. Just leaves me wondering what huge sea it needs to make a U turn at sea!!!
Its an ore hauler not a tanker
Way to go Duluth. You know how to put on a show. Love this area so very much. I grew up neat here. I dated on this pier a long time ago. Thank you for the view and the memories.🌼💖😄💖🌼

That ship is long but that water sure is rough. Was waiting to see the water gush over.
Whoever filmed this sounds like a kind person. :)

Joel Benson well hello from Ireland
it’s crazy to see how many people have seen this video vs. how many people live here 😂 this is an everyday thing for us in duluth so i guess it’s not that exciting but still cool to see how many people enjoy it here.
Impressive!!! Though I'm living close to an industrial port I've never seen a vessel that large.
That ship is so freakin long !
how many knots is that ship going in this video
Nobody :

Wtf u just say
What country is this? 😳
Beautiful coverage....
Thank you sister...
Beautiful vessel just sailing along ...😊❤
I see this vessel all the time here in Michigan. I live in Port Huron by the Blue Water Bridges, and see this stuff alot.

Please let me know the dimensions of this ship! How is it used? And also please mention something about the bridge

What's the length overall of this ship ?
@@ayushtiwari6706 1,013 ft (309 m), she is the current Queen of the Lakes (the largest ship operating on the Great Lakes).
Kudos to the camera person. You have a steady hand. Also great framing of the relevant action. Thanks for sharing this video 😊
Noticed how the ship doesn't even budge as the "waves" hits it. Amazing sight. 😊
I'm from cloquet mn, been there plenty of times. I've seen that ship more than once
Awesome big ship 🚢!!!
I see these ships every day. They travel from the Gulf of St Lawrence to Duluth. That is half way across North America!!
when I was a kid on the south side of Chicago used to see ora boats almost every day as wee had the south works steel mill 4 blocks from my house 1940,s to 1970 .
As far as I know, these 1000+ footers can not get into Lake Ontario from Lake Erie, they are too wide to fit through the locks in the Welland Canal.

Why all the thumbs down? This was great!

It's Amazing to see a large vessel
closely crossing the rough water.
This is so freaking cool! Oh my gosh!
I'm looking at it ..its 2019 August 29th ....the ship is awesome its so so huge ..its a beautiful site ..amazing but I'm very much afraid of water. .since i was little growing up or as far as I knows ..especially the big waves. .very very much afraid. ..when i look at it ...it seems so strong like its gonna wrap you around and just take you down or away
well done this is a great video, nicely shot and the quality is far better than a lot of tat i've seen on you tube. A lot of other people who film things could take a lesson from you here. I've lost count of the films ive watched that are poorly framed, shakey, out of focus etc. This is great, well done.
Amazing bridge structures👍
Really great gaint ship,,🔥🔥🔥
It makes you me feel so little...
OMG! IVE NEVER EVEN IMAGINED A BOAT THAT BIG!
she's a big Ole girl great vid man!
Amazing
What a huge ship nice video keep sharing bro
This is a great video! I have been to Duluth a lot of times and those Superior waves can be real big. You captured the reality of being on a lake freighter. When I was eighteen, I boarded the John G. Munson from the mailboat(Westcott) in the Detroit river. I wish that someone could have made a video of that.
Awesome!!! Paul Tregurtha is sure getting a lot of exposure ( the name on the ship)

thats a huge one..sooo nice to watch
Seriously??!!! I swear that boat did not look that big. It was freaking huge!!!
1:38 no wave can stop this Gian SHIP🗯
You mean like the Edmond Fitzgerald!!!!!! Yes, waves can and do sink ships of this size!!!
@Adam Bogdan and the lakes never give up their dead.. always found that line poetic. if not eire. Did you see what I did there..lol
Arona dats what's titanic crew says no wave can't stop.
So simple and good
Ohh my God too long I love this 😘😘😘
It’s truly beautiful in person. The waves are giant and when they crash on the shore you can smell the mist in the cold air. There are seagulls everywhere but don’t really bother you. All sorts of WW2 machinery, all sorts of rich history about the iron range and the importance of Duluth shaping the future of Minnesota. The steep hills. The nature up north. The giant beautiful rock formations. While looking out on superior it seems that it goes on forever. There is just something beautiful and peaceful about Duluth.

You should see the lake when it's really rough out there- scary huge waves that can sink a ship like that. I love the harbor at Duluth, always a stop on my way home from the Boundary Waters along with the nearby maritime museum.
