- This 'phenomenon' is actually caused by the Venturi Effect: wrangellnarrowsdotcom.files.w...
It is not a wake, nor is it displacement.
Neebish Island is a very small island on the St. Mary's Sriver halfway between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Lake Huron.
I don't know what type of boat the yellow one is.
That is the Presque Isle. A 1000ft Integrated Tug Barge freighter. The only one of her kind. The tug is purpose built for that barge and that barge only. A masterpeice in modern engineering. She is also a formidable ice breaker when she seperates from the barge.
The little boy with the arm floaties is pure joy!! 😊
seeing that kid having so much fun with the waves made me very happy, reminded me about my childhood, like one comment said, simpler times
Yeah, really miss it
You are NEVER too old, to have a happy childhood.
Whenever I see the comment 'simpler times' it makes me want to cry
@@RameyRocks .
Appearantly you have never heard of Michael Jackson....
I lifted my feet onto the couch as I watched this. You know... just in case...
Geez you missed the wave lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha I like that. 😄
I get that 😁😁😁
THAT won't save you...
That child laughing and playing in the waves is so cute. That laughter is contagious... I started chuckling too.
The yellow boat is a true classic. Judging by its design, I'm guessing it's late 70s to early 80s, yet it looks like new.
Looks like my dads old 84 run-about tho I don't see the fins on the back like what was on my dad's..lol
Yea I really want to get an older 1 like that and restore it. They look so simple and beautiful 😍
@@Nojomojo1 I guess I missed an opportunity. I bought a 78 for $2000 with the hopes of fixing it up. $5000 later, I finally gave up on it. I should've saved it for you.
@@gop4usa12 the cost to restore is exactly why I haven't bought into one yet 😅 I bet she was a beaut. Time and money are precious commodities lately however. My current project is setting my truck up for overland style camping 🏕
One of the best days in your life is buying a Boat!! The greatest day is when you Sell it!!!!!!
Couldn't help but think as the guy is waving,,, " Forrest Gump " when he sees Lt Dan. "That's my boat"
haha yeah I see that
chris call YES! That's exactly what I saw, hahah!
chris call yes man I cried it was a sad part his shrimping boat wow so sad

I gru up atin' swimp
chris call i knew i had seen thar before lol
I experienced that once on the Mississippi river. I was on a large backwater lake, about a mile long by half mile wide, that was only about 18" deep though out there entire area. I was moving along in a little 12' fishing boat with a 7.5hp outboard that I had to have lifted into shallow drive to keep it out of the mud. As the barge approached, all the water started draining out of the area. At first I was going sideways with the water but then it got too shallow and the boat set on the bottom and I shut off the motor. The entire 'lake' became a huge mud flat with puddles. There were large fish flapping around. It was a fast moving section of river and the barge was very long so the two tugs were really working but not moving very fast as they were going up river. Wr got out and walked around a little bit, looking at fish. Finally, after about 5 minutes, it was almost past us and we saw a big wave moving in towards us, it was basically a 2' tall mass of water moving into the area. It didn't start as an inch across the area that got deeper, it came as a wave. In front of the wave was mud and behind the wave was what looked like a lake. As it passed by us, it violently lifted us up and shoved us as it floated the boat again. It was really weird.
What happened to the fish?
@@bigtridentguy I'm not sure, we didn't stay in touch. Once the water came back they swam away and I never saw them again.
I had some friends describe the same thing while skiing on the Chesapeake-Albemarle canal. They were skiing in the opposite direction of a barge and tug. The guy skiing said he saw the boat stand on end as the wake of the tug hit it. He said he was momentarily staring at the floor of the boat. Then the boat crashed back down into the water. They then realized that the deck and the hull had separated at the rub rail. They were just riveted together.
National lottery
Pls how does the barge cause this
The kid is loving the wave while the grown ups panicked 😂😂😂
Awesome captain for honking the horn
Today he'd be on the phone and not paying attention
Cash Only in that case, he’d be sailing on a very different material.

It was warning.
I really love this because it shows how much fun you can have from just the simplest things in life. Thank you. Jamie
Wow. Just gives a concrete indication of how massive these ships really are. They are so long and wide and have such a deep draft.
THATS WHAT SHE SAID . . . . .
@@ericperkins3078😂😂😂
LOL at 1:53 ...that kid's having a fantastic time just bouncing around in the water-- damn the waves!
Brings back memories of my teenage years. Dad kept his sail boat docked in Lake Erie. Use to go to this beach and marveled at the freighters going by sucking the water out from under our feet!
Very cool. I used to be stationed up there in SSM. I was lucky enough to get to ride on one of these bulk carriers once a year through the St. Mary's. Beautiful area. I miss it!
As kids, we used to swim in the Mississippi River in New Orleans. When full tankers were traveling up river is did the same thing but with much more effect. It’s a miracle none of us drowned.
Seen some of the barges around St. Paul Minn do this on the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, but that ship makes it look more impressive then they did.
I was a kid growing up in St.Rose on Crespo Ave and we used to ride our bikes on the levee and swim in the river. It was dangerous and dirty but we didn't care. Best days of my life.
Further up river and on the tributaries you get the same effect when a big raft of barges goes by.
@@travisyayes6343 We used to set trot lines when the river rose to the levee in the spring. We had neighborhood fish fries with the giant catfish lol Again, how am I alive?? The Coast Guard (or whomever) once hailed us on the loud speaker and somehow knew our names, told us to go back to the levee and wait for them. "Yes sir!" And we were gone. We also made bonfires back there and made the fat levee board cops chase us on foot. Good times!
@ Wakeywhodat, if you swam in the Mississippi River in New Orleans, it’s a miracle you didn’t get toxic shock, or eaten by a bull shark.
The moment the wave approaches still has us all sitting on the edge of our seats in excitement !
The incredible effect those freighters have on a smaller body of water, and shows how much they actually displace. great video of it though.
Being under water when a big freighter goes by is even cooler. The sound and vibrations are crazy.
William Wilson I've had that happen, except it was directly above me. Scariest moment of my life. Those vibrations were more like thuds and thumps, the turbines and pumps intakes were so fucking loud, I could feel and hear the propellers, and I couldn't see anything when the prop wash came in.
@@willrc5731 What were you doing down there?
@@danlightened Attaching drugs to the ships hull.
@@macman975 excellent my good man, excellent...lmao! 🤣
The noise pollution from large ships and high frequency sonar testing is having detrimental effects on sea life. Look it up. Researchers are doing their best to address it. Pretty amazing. A good Ted talk on it as well. Cheers
Grew up on Wellsley Island every summer. We used to sit on the sun porch and watch the lakers go by in the evenings. I remember fishing in our boat and one of them passing by. The wake is incredible. Back in the 1950's there were far fewer pleasure boats and they were a lot smaller. we had a 16 foot boat with a 75 hp motor. At the time, that was the largest outboard made. I was in Alexandria Bay last summer and there is a 600 foot laker sunk just a few hundred feet from shore. I was going to dive on it but didn't have the time.
let me know if you want to dive
I grew up in Club Island, next door. We were sheltered from the shipping channel, but whenever we encountered a freighter on the way over to A-Bay, he'd run our 20' Lancer right up to it, scaring the heck out of us kids.
c moore, thats interesting, we used to go to some private property off wellsley island (going thru t.i. state park) to stay and vaca on the "spectacle islands", my wife's family (Running) owned those 2 really small islands, we went diving off there many times, never did see the water drop or rise like that, we did see large wake's from some tourist boats but the water level never rose or fell like that.
I have never seen anything like this before. This is absolutely amazing.
I recently discovered these behemoths. I have never in my life seen ships/tankers this large. There's a gentleman with a YT channel who regularly videotapes them passing through a channel on the Great Lakes.

Ikr me either
My daughter lives at Port Aransas Texas and was telling me about it. I said there’s no way, but she took me and showed me. It’s just incredible.
My family had vacationed at Port Aransas since the late 60's, and my sister has lived there 20 years. Charlie's Pasture, just west of the Ferry's, use to be beach, just like this video is and we would be on the beach looking for shells - watching for the big ships to come - for 2 reasons. #1 - when the ships suck the water out off the beach, we would run around real fast collecting shells that were revealed by the water pulling away. #2 - you dont want to get caught off guard when the water comes rushing back in!! If you aren't paying attention to what is around your feet, the water will push you around, slam you into whatever is on the ocean bottom, shells, broken glass, concrete blocks, etc. One time, as the water was rushing back in, it was carrying an old crab trap set-up which came wrapping around my legs, scratching me (salt water burns!) and almost took my feet out from under me! I recovered and we carried on. In my opinion, the City ruined one of the best shell collecting places when they put in bulkhead all the way around to the marina. No more walking that little stretch of beach for shells. Two small areas seem to pile up with shells, which we live to check out a couple of times a day for new or uncovered shells. But - always pay attention for those big ships - they are SILENT moving through the water!!. Will be there sucking water out before you know it!
@@lisamanrique1770 Wow good info for sure. My friend Boondocking with Dennis videos in that area. I worked the Hurricane Harvey disaster there. Great folks.
I actually watched this 10 years ago and here it is back in my recommendations.
There are so many weird phenomena that you would never think of happening until they do.
Builder: how long do you want this boat to be?
Owner: *YES*
@@keithclark486 yes like, I want it to be as long as possible.
Funny, by definition that was technically a barge being pushed by a tug. It's called the Presque Isle.
Just so it will fit in the lock dumbarse !!!
It's the "Windowlicker" limo, in boat form.
Spaceballs intro but with this boat
Life's simple pleasures are the best.
What's funny is the contrast between the little kid having a great time in the waves and the boat owners stressing about their "pleasure craft". Whether it's a boat or an RV, pleasure craft are only pleasurable about 10% of the time.

@@taekwondotime You are right. Never thought of it before.
@@taekwondotime Yep. POS
all It means is Trump is full of shit 1000%.
The freighters aren't going to stop, so, put a second anchor out, that holds the boat in deeper water, with a spring line ran to the shore anchor, pull boat in with the spring line, when needed.
No problem with allowing the boat to beach for a moment. No need for a bunch of extra work.
2010: a much simpler time....
Mike Haggar that's crazy I'm 18 and I thought 2010 was simpler but that's cuz I was 11. adults view 2010 as harder (because stock market crash) but this shows how perspective changes based on age something I didn't really think of
To me the 90s were simple times. The cold war was over and 911 didnt happen yet.
you sound like me in 1988 speaking about 1980.. so whatever.
It hasn't even been a decade yet.
2010, 2000, 1980, 1950 what's the difference?The world just gets more complex master your life and you will enjoy the ride.
Wow! 10 years ago!
Awww the kid splashing around looked like they were having a great time!❤️
When we were kids we used to wait until the ships went by and swim in with the waves they made, oh the joys of being a kid
Venturi effect as the ship passes (water speeds up to the aft, lowers pressure) followed by hydraulic jump as water suddenly slows down and must therefore rise.
That makes sense. I was wondering what physics were causing this.
also Bernoulli's Principle.
You would think that the water displaced by the massive hull would result in an increase in water level, but it does the opposite. Venturi effect ?
Lonnie Sayler please let that be sarcasm this is the most common effect of a shipsnproppeller it aimple sucks water from front pushes it back and a this freighter propably has a proppeller of about 8 meters give or take so the effect is larger and another thing how the hell did you think the water was going to rise up the ship is already in the water plus it is not a box of water the water comes from sea probably a lock inbetween so the water can come and go as the authorities want it to go
truelly a example of people not having a clue what a ship is and still they think they can play captain nope people might as well say that about cars you need knowledge to be safe in traffic same goes for the waterways
Bert Kooijmans Bert, be nice. Not everyone understands this phenomenon. No need to be a smart ass.
Awww the kid is having so much fun!

For a video that came out more than 6 years ago, I'm wondering why almost all the comments are from the last 48 hours.
Because Trump won.
Christopher C It's because of you tube new math algorithm for the videos. we now are sent old vids that are not current or that they think we would be interested in. if you watch you tubers. .. they have been complaing about how there views have gone down in the last 6 months
Mr Kenn Huh that's interesting. Hadn't heard of that before, but it makes sense
Lol yeah true. We used to have this happen all the time at a summer camp down on the Eastern Shore by the Chesapeake
CZcams replays???
That is so much fun to swim in. As a kid in Texas swimming in the lake we loved every boat that came by. The bigger, closer, and faster the better. I'm sharing this with my sister.
I scuba dived on a 600 footer the anchor chain links are 6 foot tall each. I don't think people really realize how massive these ships are
That tug and barge actually has 10 foot chain links. Dude whatever 😂
I have seen freighters many times, have been to the locks. But never seen that phenomenon! Thanks for the video! Pretty cool.
now thats a fun time!! i needed to smile today! love the sound of childrens laughter!! sweet music to my ears!! thank you so much!!
Boat so long I feel like it just made it through 2020
Let’s hope we all make it through!
It took 10 years to sail.
My step-father had a beach house on the Chesapeake Bay just west of Cape Henry. They were on the beach one day in the 70s or 80s as an aircraft carrier was scrambled to sea faster than he had ever seen before. The water level dropped several feet. He got his kids off the beach and up into the dunes. The wave that returned flooded the entire beach up to the dune line.
Yeah that would do it, Nimitz Class carriers displace around 100k tons
2020 CZcams recommended. Here, watch a 10 year old video of a ship and a wave. We think you'd love it 🤔
Actually I did love it it 😂😂
Right? But it was fun.
same here
Mr. Si Señor 😂😂
I did
I was once on a small boat in the lower Delaware River south of Phila, and a real Navy submarine passed by. For such a low river presence, it had an amazing wave, bounced us around a lot more than I expected!
The do's and don't's of "how to secure your boat" Do: Boat A has 2 ropes stays controlled next to the shore with the owners safe on dry land.
Don't: Boat B has no ropes, quickly floats out to deeper water with the owners clinging to the sides of the boat.
Concern C. Leave the little ones between or on boat while no parents close enough if boat B smashed kid between boats, while hitting boat A.
Issue # 3: Call me a paranoid parent! Relief # 1: Outcome of waves-
Otherwise in the end everyone's okay and the kids loved it ad are all safe. The beauty of hearing happy laughter from the cute kids is priceless!! Okay hit the like button on this video, say my peace and movin on! Cheers
something you wouldn't think about is the boat landing on your foot when it gets picked up and comes back down... happened to me 😖
Yes, even small waves can smash the hull into the ground, and pinching anything that is under it.
I experienced something very similar but more pronounced on the Mississippi River in the 50s from a passing tow boat, it sucked the water away because of the large propellers that at that time were open all around, since then regulations were enacted that required kort nozzles around the propellers to cut down on riverbank erosion, they still move a ton of water though. we had a houseboat and it was totally left dry on the beach and I thought it was way cool, then a couple of minutes later it all came back in a wave.
You can still see this effect on the Mississippi River from passing barges heading upriver, just not as pronounced as this. A barge running hard will drop the river level 1-2 feet.
I took an impromptu trip up to the soo about a year and a half after this video was made. It was nighttime and I watched a boat lock heading downriver. I buzzed on down to Neebish to watch it pass by a little while later. It was still night. Pitch dark. I had never been there before. I watched the ship pass by, then to my surprise I listened as this huge wave approached me. Not what I was expecting!
Nice to see sensible people on the water for a change - great video Steve - thank you
Couldn't help but think "Holy shit, they're going to lose the yellow boat". It looked as if it was about to be swept away. Never forget to tie up the boat.
Another option would be if the one girl would have held onto it, like requested or ran over to help instead of just standing there. Possibly helpful.
That child is having so much fun!
It took me a moment to understand the physics of what was taking place. Fascinating…
An even greater effect when they make the turn by the Sugar Island ferry dock, much narrower .
That little kid getting excited and splashing around was fucking adorable.
I've seen something similar on the gulf coast in Texas except surfers would surf the ship wake. Theoretically they could surf the same wake for several hours. Saw it on a surfing video I believe.
Wow, I never would have thought it would suck out the water from the shore like that. thank you for sharing!
Loved that little snippet of life, thanks from Manchester UK 🤗
This looks like North Beach, this is great footage of the surge. I grew up since 1962 spending summers on little Neebish, but only discovered this North Beach area about ten years ago. Thanks for posting this.
James Foley it is the North Beach. Most of it is now under water with the water so high.
The explanation of why this happens is counter-intuitive. You would think the water should rise as the ship passes by, and return to normal after it is gone. If the ship displaces a million gallons of water... where does it go?
The key is in the fact that the boat is already in the water, long before it passes by. It isn't displacing water now,, but as it passes by it leaves a void behind itself. Water rushes in to fill the void. THAT is why the water level drops momentarily.
It's actually pushing the water in front of the ship because as the ship moves through the water it is creating a forward moving wave that corrals the water with the energy the wave is creating. Because of the slow speed of the ship and its distance from the shoreline the wave is not very well defined for the human eye, but it would be like a diagonal line from the bow of the ship equally dispersed on the port and starboard sides to the shore. But if the ship suddenly stopped moving, the water would return with the ship in the same place because the wave would lose its energy that is corralling the water.
This video shows it the best czcams.com/video/q2OQOAFq-hY/video.html

i know. its science. but i still dont understand why the water goes out????
@@leonperry123 Look at it this way: as the ship moves forward water rushes to fill the space formerly occupied by the ship.
Thank you comments
love the little brown boy laughing and playing in the surf
Amazing-I’ve never even thought of a big wave on the river like from freighter
'Neebish Beach Phenomenon' sounds like a college band.....
I’d buy their latest CD
Peter Clark, only if they keep the boat horn in.
Clarke, my apologies.
That kids havin so much fun over there 😁
Thanks for sharing this. What an unusual phenomenon. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
The captain with the horn is just so wholesome
I read this as “fighter passing by at Neebish Beach phenomenon” and seeing as how I’ve been watching low pass jet fly overs, I just had to see the jet that caused this phenomenon. Not a jet, not even a fast moving ship, but impressive none the less.
we get the same phenomenon on the Mississippi river just no so extreme. I figured it was caused by the displacement of the ship and the props acting like a pump and "pulling" the water. Pretty cool, have fun guys

I was in the Thousand Islands in a Cove in my boat. A freighter was going by and my boat spun around the anchor line, now the back facing towards the freighter. After it went by my boat spun back around the anchor line back into the Cove. Why does that happen?
Thanks for posting. Reminds me of life along the coastline.
I've seen this affect with large barges in the Intracoastal Waterway.
Sea Hog, Ingleside TX, 84
This is basically like a tsunami works. It is a long wave length that draws the water out first and then sends it ashore.
Seeing this brings back childhood memories.
Pretty damn crazy a freighter can do that! That takes some serious power if you think about it, the engines in that ship need to overcome that current in that venturi also as well! The water current is picking up at the pinch points and all around the ship to get through it. It's actually amazing how much it really ends up displacing before it goes by ya there! That's a very very cool video and awesome show of physics on a grand scale! Thanks for posting the video! Over here in NY we have some weird stuff happening on the Hudson River where smaller creeks empty into it up state where I am due to the fact the Hudson is tidal. BUT you take the cake on that! Lol!
Check this out. czcams.com/video/8sEdgHH9F10/video.html
That is the longest ship I have ever seen. Amazing.
This needs to be on the Tv show Outrageous Acts of Science 🔬
It's amazing how much water is displaced by a freighter, that just shows the sheer amount of weight it carries by the suckining of the water then sending it back to shore.
That was cooler than expected!
I didn’t know ships could cause the water to recede
Though it's not really surprising if you think about what it takes to move such a massive object.
The ship is pushing a lot of water behind it, and that water has to come from somewhere. While it won't be noticeable on the open ocean, it is a different story in a shallow confined waterway like this.
@@rockyblacksmith I suppose you’re right 👍
@@rockyblacksmith why? If the ship displaces so much water!! You’d think the water would rise!
Does the same thing on the Ohio River when a barge comes through. So cool when I was a kid🙂
@@pamelasharp4766 big barge 👍
That woman was so scared. She nearly bolted twice.
well neebish beech is 20 minutes south east of sault ste marie Michigan, and my family has a summer place on the other side of the river (st.mary's)
I was fishing near the Gulf of Mexico in a little river or creek. A tanker went by out in the Gulf. The water stopped in the river/creek, started to rise, then the creek changed direction. After a while it stopped again, the water rose, and it went back to flowing the way it was before.
it's fascinating how a human made piece of machinery can alter nature like that, thanks for sharing
Never have I seen such a thing. That one boat was flat out grounded. Wow. Good video. Thanks...
welcome!
Yeah amazing looks like my sister at a buffet soup section after she spoons up....
I think it's phenomenal how close to 500 people have no idea how a wake works!
They used to caution us about transiting the C&D canal on the Eastern Shore. Freighter's bow wave could put a little boat in a corn field.
I knew it would do this kind of thing,but I'm amazed as to how much because the ship isn't going very fast.could you imagine it if the ship were going another 10-15 mph faster?
That vessel doesn't have another 15mph or even 15kph.
it has to go slow because it has a sharp left turn a mile ahead. These ships aren't built for speed, there is 30 foot of the ship under water.

I am seeing this for the first time.
Amazing.
Never knew such a phenomenon existed
I never thought that could happen and I have owned a 55 ft boat for 15yrs now!
That kid was way stoked.
The Venturi effect on the water behaves much like a tsunami. A tsunami does the same with the water being pulled back then comes rushing in again.
All the Venturi Effect States is that when a fluid reaches a restriction it's pressure is decreased with a proportional increase in the fluid's velocity...
Spent a week in a cabin close to the sue locks Michigan. The water thing is crazy. But was crazier when we pulled up beside boat while we where in a 16 foot boat. Their true size of ship almost can't believe they float.
I have personally been thru the Panama Canal and seeing the super freighters and tankers up close is AMAZING. You cannot imagine the size of these ship and looking at a guy in the freighters crows nest is like looking up AT AN ANT. These boats are Amazing. RH
I used to see a similar effect when I worked on Ellis Island . There is a small inlet on the island left over from its immigrant processing days . When large cruise ships would pass by on their way in and out of NY Harbor there would be a very pronounced wave that surged up the inlet and crashed against the wall at the end . I worked there just before the age of the smart phone so I have no footage of the phenomenon to share .

Pretty shocking phenomenon. That tsunami was several inches high. I hope the kids were able to move past this.
