I'm from South Africa. It's 42°C I'm addicted to this channel. I'm 54 years old never get to their. We never ever see such big ships. I love this channel ❤. Bucketlist no1.
Thanks for posting this. Love the different angles of the ship and the winter scenes. I saw her leave Duluth once while visiting the area, and have been interested ever since! She is quite impressive!
i thought it was too iced up to run the lakes, and they layed up for winter. or is that just on superior? I know its supposed to be the biggest on the lakes I heard, but I thought only icebreakers were the only ones to run in the winter for supplys or in front, No? and what is that huge plum that looks like steam I thought the ship was diesel electro, thats a heck of a lot of exaust if its not steam.
@@manga12 Superior’s shipping season runs from late march to early January, this was its last voyage before docking in Duluth for the winter. The other question is a little more complex but I’ll explain. So the Tregurtha is powered by four massive Diesel engines as to generate as much power as needed and after the diesel is burned in the engines, the exhaust then goes through a very impressive system of separators which remove impurities and especially harmful products from entering the air. The reasoning it comes out white is likely the temperature in this video
@@maxboerner3247 ah well its a ton of heat comming out, almost like a giant turbine, I mean its a large ship but I am not sure it has as massive as engines you find in something like the worlds largest engine the warzilla that powers the giant oceangoing container ships, seems this is putting out more emissions and heat then one of those.
WOW beautiful ship, great scene, nice to see a spirit of cooperation. Who has been in an aluminum boat late fall early spring and been chilled 🙋♂ Can not imagine floating around in that ice water?
I used to live on Klenk Island down at the end of Alter Rd in Detroit. I literally could be laying in bed watching the big boys slip silently past. My Dad taught me that the lakers had the wheel house up on the bow but it's not a written rule as the Tregurtha is back astern like a salty. Just something I remember! Stay warm everyone!
If you pause the video in the minute 1:00, you will see an image that looks like Realism Painting, painted by Jules Brenton or any another Realism artists. For me that image is speechless, the lighthouse, the street lamps, the fog, the icy weather, the ship, the sky and many others elements are talking in silence in my mind.
This video was a random suggestion a few months ago.It started my now minor obsession with the Great Lakes,the freighters and all their history.I just used Black Friday promos to book 5 nights next May. 2 in Duluth,1 in Grand Marais and 2 in Lutsen.I wonder how many others had 1st time exposure through your channel and have gone down the same Lake Superior rabbit hole I have.
Amazing film! What are the whistle signals? 3 short blasts for 'operating astern propulsion' I get, but the subsequent higher pitched musical tones, what do they mean?
I am really confused. I thought they stopped shipping for winter. Wasn’t the Fitz trying to get in one last run before shutting down for winter, when she went down?
They generally stop at ice up. Remember the weather service is much better than when the sinking of the Fitzgerald happened, not to say it couldn't happen now but I think the odds are much better these days that they ships will avoid the truly bad weather.

rode my bike to work this morning in Minneapolis without checking the temp before I left. Got to the office and saw it was -17°F 🥶 think I might've stayed home and worked remote if I'd known beforehand 😂

Hello Albert!
You might get your wish one day 😉
I hope you make it. Bring a warm coat, it's probably not 42°C there. 😆
EVER
Hope you get to visit us in Minnesota! We'd love to have you!

Always like to watch the big ships come into Duluth!! A big fan in Pennsylvania!!!😁😁
Watching from Missouri- was right there last summer.
The Tregurtha is my favorite ship. I always make it a point to watch her arrive or depart when I go to Duluth in the summer.

My favorite Laker is the Arthur M. Anderson

@@bryanphillips6666 me too Bryan, mainly because of its connection to the Fitz but another beautiful ship

It’s actually not a problem. I sailed Gilf of Alaska in February
Beautiful pictures - every frame is wondrous. Top notch.
The crewmen are certainly earning their supper today, it looks frigid out there. Happy new year from Montreal!

I remember driving down there in my late teens, I thought it was funny that a canal and fences seperated Detroit from the points
wow
Happy new year captian and crew of the tregurtha..stay safe and sail in safety
Love the Lakers....am from the Niagara region and spent time watching ships navigate the Welland ship canal...impressive at night...thanks for this .
Thank you so much
Incredible footage! Greetings from TEXAS! 😎🇨🇱

Beautiful footage!!! Loved it!!!
I love how it looks like it's floating on clouds like it's an airship or something.

What a gorgeous ship
I'm watching from Japan.
I saw this kind of bulk carrier for the first time.
Thank you for the wonderful video
Just mind boggling how something this large can float
The opening shot of the Paul R Tregurtha is beautiful.
Fabulous photography.
Fans of the Big Paul here in New Jersey!
Absolutely breathtaking
Anchors = eyes
vertical bow ice = nose
and an ice frown
Niiicccccccce!
Quite a sight ,never gets old
What a ship😳 wow!!!! That’s awesome to watch👍👍
The Tregurtha looks so strong & mighty!
What an impressive vessel! Beautiful. That water is slushy. So so cold🥶🥶🥶
"... every Mame and Jane and Ruth,
from Weehawken to Duluth..." loves a big, majestic, ship vid. Thanks.
Beautiful photography,
That's impressively sharp photography. Thank you.
Wow!
Very really nice view.
Very beautiful scene.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day today.
I’ve rebuilt cylinder heads for this ship. MAK43 engine.
That initial shot would make a very nice painting. Lovely backdrop.
Me father was second mate for a couple of runs back in the 80s on her. What a marvelous ship
I was lucky enough to see that ship depart Duluth when I visited there in 2002. It's huge. 👍😊🇨🇮
absolutely beautiful. Love ships
Prior Park Point Resident, hearing the ship call and the bridge call back brings warm fuzzys. (Even in the overnite hours)
Beautiful!!
Wow I was just there this past July 😱😍
Dad was in the Merchant Marine after the war and was a wheelman on these.
Looks cold we are in Massachusetts digging out new snow fall
Brrrrr. Safe sailing. The ice cycle attests to the frigid sailing conditions. A Florida fan.
Looks a bit cooler there than here in Alabama 😀
We saw that boat coming in the harbor when we were up in Duluth
Hello from Kansas!:)
Watching from Winnipeg. Looks toasty warm there compared to here. . .🥶
Now that's a mighty ship!
Outstanding. Impressive ship.
Amazing video love it
What does it haul?
Nice to see the supply chain still moving!

There many things to see and do between Duluth and Grand Portage, you’re gonna wish you had more than 5 days, beautiful country, you’re gonna love it.
Amazing film! What are the whistle signals? 3 short blasts for 'operating astern propulsion' I get, but the subsequent higher pitched musical tones, what do they mean?
The only horn signals in the video was a captain's salute from ship to bridge them the bridges response.
Fascinante
How many lifeboats?
I am really confused. I thought they stopped shipping for winter. Wasn’t the Fitz trying to get in one last run before shutting down for winter, when she went down?
I would like to know as well.
They generally stop at ice up. Remember the weather service is much better than when the sinking of the Fitzgerald happened, not to say it couldn't happen now but I think the odds are much better these days that they ships will avoid the truly bad weather.
I didn't see a single safety vest on the ship. Still rolin old school up yonder I suppose ey.
Misericórdia! Que trem enorme!! Translate, please! Saludos desde mi querido Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Todo vídeo tem um brasileiro! 😂
What does that carry ?
I'm an Indian , not red ..regular brown from India...been to Duluth many time as a cadet right up to Master.....love the Great Lakes and love America ..🙏
Temperature was below zero upon her arrival
That looks cold 🥶
This is really cool.
Nice video. Do pilots board the these ship to assist in entering the Great Lakes Harbors or are the ship's Captains allowed to bring them in?
I don’t think they need harbor pilots.
All Great Lakes captains are fully qualified as pilots for the harbors, rivers, and canals. These huge ships (1,000 feet long) are maneuvered with the world's best skill in and out of harbors without the assistance of pilots and rarely use tugboats.
@@barbcorbett784 Thanks, I live on the East Coast where all large ships ae required to have a pilot on board when entering the ports.
Same on the west coast perhaps it's foreign captains even with pilots they manage to crash into things
The salties get Harbor pilots as they are unfamiliar with the Great Lakes
The queen of the Great Lakes!
What else normally gets shipped in or out of this port?
Stuff.
Taconite pellets
Looks like a painting coming to life
Thought these guys were suppose to shut down for winter from December to February.
Anybody know.?
BRRRR!! 🥶
So what’s that banging noise?
Where I this port?
It looked like there were two other boats out on the lake there. Any idea who they are?
The one on the left I’m not 100% sure about, either American Mariner or Joseph L Block. The one on the right is definitely the American Spirit
Loaded with ice! 😄 Yes indeed!
That is so beautiful!
Front of the ship looks a little sad though. LOL
True listen to the horn lol
@@arnoldflowers8686 😄
From where?
What I like about this is it cost only 50 cents to park your ship here, and they have a hot cup of tea when you step onto the dock.
beauteous
Looks cold I am from Massachusetts digging out of 10inches of snow
Its too cold in Minnesota to snow.
Cold.. Cold..cold that's Minnesota for you...
When do they stop sailing?
Hopefully by the time they hit the dock. 👍
---------------- they'll sail on until the ice gets bigger than the boat ..... Commodores ---- sail on ....good song
Looks so cold over there
Looks like admiral byrd coming from the poles 🥶
Do ships like this have bow thrusters?
I do not know.
Yes they do. There is a painted symbol on the bow denoting its bow thruster equipped
That a steam ship?? Run on coal?
It sure do look cold!
Super 👍
@ 5 minutes I wonder what the heck all the pounding was
Por el tipo de gases o humo que expulsa por las chimeneas deduzco que no esta propulsado por combustible diesel sino por gas o algo así.
That is ship and a half man! Wgt must be160K ton?
2. USA. 465. Jim. Kansas City Missouri. 19. Alpha Tango 028 Martin near Holland 7351
Needed another 5 minutes on that video.
That beautiful, sunny sky is deceiving. Temperature is 4 below zero and crew is reacts as "business as usual."
rode my bike to work this morning in Minneapolis without checking the temp before I left. Got to the office and saw it was -17°F 🥶
think I might've stayed home and worked remote if I'd known beforehand 😂
YIKES!
🇧🇷👍
May I ask why this ship is held in such high regard?
so, when does it get cold there?😁
Captain had to ound the horn to wake bridge man!just in case!🙄😄
Looks like the season's not over until the fattest boat is in.
When does the Soo shut down?
Hi from Aussie get video
We are in flood in eastern australia
