    The Great Lakes are the most fascinating bodies of water in the world. You all got to do the Port Huron Float Trip. Have a D.D. ready. Best Beaches you can find in America, Put In bay on lake Erie is Key West North and cheaper. These lakes have surf and no sharks,There are bays and coves on all 5 where you have the clearest water in the world. Pictured Rocks,Michigan north shore on Lake Superior is a kayak dream.

      That's great... But
      A) this is not a great lake in the video (read other comments)
      B) you only named two great lakes, a standard Michigan biased
      C) do you just to comment for attention? Or what is your notice. Because clearly you don't know what you are talking about but have the need to comment. My reason? I hate commenters like you. Know it all but clearly embellishing and/or lying... So go on.. I'll wait for your response...

      I love the lakes, and Ive been lucky enough to have seen them all, and regularly boat on Michigan, Huron, Erie and St. Clair. I love the state of Michigan, and I put up with the winters, just to be around the lakes and connecting waters once boating/fishing season starts. I was bummed that they took lake St. Clair off the list of the great lakes, but I guess it doesnt really matter, its still there lol.

    What are these orange booms as seen at 4:30 (raised) at the right hand, 7:26 (raises beyond the bridge) at the right hand and then one at 14:00 and also at 19:15 (both raised) on the left hand of the canal? What´s the purpose of those?

    • @rallymodeller
      @rallymodeller Před 3 lety +3

      They're sensor booms, to make sure the ship is clear of the opening lock gates. There's a cable that runs along the boom like a bowstring, and if it contacts the ship anywhere then the ship has to move clear of the gates.

      The only locks in the Great Lakes sector of the GREAT LAKES ST LAWRENCE SEAWAY SYSTEM is the Soo Locks. The St Lawrence Seaway sector extends from St Lambert QC up through the Welland Canal to mid-Lake Erie. 7 locks to Welland are St. Lambert, Cote-Ste-Catharine, Lower Beauharnois, Upper Beauharnois, Snell (US) & Eisenhower (AKA IKE - US) and then Iroquois Lock. The Welland Canal and then much further up is the Soo Locks :-) Hope this helps. Joanne Crack at The Prescott Anchor.

      Depends on the system and your cargo. U.S. locks are controlled by the Corp of Engineers so ships can lock through for free.

    • @Bob-vc6ug
      @Bob-vc6ug Před 4 lety +2

      They used to tie up the ships with ropes to hold it a safe distance from the walls of the lock, but the yellow devices hold it in place nowadays. Less manpower needed.

      @kberkstr Před 7 měsíci

      This wasn't at the Soo, the St. Mary's only has one set of locks and they're much larger than these. based on the geography I'd guess it's the St Lawrence river, but I haven't seen enough of it to know exactly where.

    • @kberkstr
      @kberkstr Před 7 měsíci

      The lakes upriver are at a much higher elevation than the surface of the ocean, so locks are used to permit ships to travel up to them as they can't normally navigate the natural falls and rapids
