supposedly it uses the same model of horn the Edmund Fitzgerald had.

Yes she has her voice

You're right, it is the voice 🤩🎤

@@GiordanDiodato wouldn’t you trust the sister of the fitzs horn more then a different company

@@GiordanDiodato yea but I find that hard to believe though

She's a working Iady--and I say that in aII respect. These Iadies have their own speciaI way about them. They're buit for 70+ years working Iife-- the Arthur M. Anderson is 71--oIder than me and sti going strong.

That "peculiar" streamlined design seems a throwback to pre-WW II art deco style used for everything from art, architecture and furniture to trains, ships and autos. The streamlining was considered graceful and elegant. The old Milwaukee Clipper car ferry was built with similar lines.

The Courteny Burton was always my favorite. You would have thought the QE2 was coming!

If I am not mistaken, this ship has the same horn as the Fitzgerald

you are thinking about the horn

the Wiliam G Mathers voice is beautifiul

The Barker sounds nice as well.

Here's a fun fact. The United States had three big horns! Two Leslie Tyfon 575's which were primarily used on ocean liners and warships, but there was a Leslie 425 in the front stack next to one of the 575's so it had a similar tone albeit deeper with the 575.

when I was in highschool my metal shop teacher had connections at Fraser to take a tour of the ol girl during fit out it was a day before they departed winter layup in 2007 an Capt ET gave us the tour when we were in the wheelhouse he. asked who wants to blow the whistles my hand shot sky high I asked him being a boat nerd what Ya want me to give a 1-2. or 3-2 he said what ever you want so I went to the button in the front window an hit it they saw the steam coming b4 she cut loose an thought that's all she's gonna do half a second later when she cut loose my whole class including the teacher jumped as I sounded the formal salute me an Capt treece just laughed our asses off that was a great tour

@@benjaminlarson2995 I bet it was a good time how old were you back then

Oh yeah

I Iove it! I grew up on the Detroit River and got to see these a Iot. I miss them

9 years after this comment and she's still layed up unfortunately

@@MidwestSteven1 they are talking about taking her out of layup and put her back in service but they also said she will be converted to diesel and won’t have her super distinct horns anymore😔

@@freightersonthegreatlakes995 at this point I don't even care if she doesn't sound the same, I just wanna see her on the lakes again

@@freightersonthegreatlakes995 wait, are you serious? Where did you get this knowledge

Hahaha

@@cliffsvictorycaddilac5982 hi

I thought she said is it dying on the right side up?

That’s me being stupid tho

my guess the fanciest SHIP on the lakes in its time oh yes the best steam whistles as well ..wish it was in service slap a unloading boom on her and send her on her way...

I read an article and saw a conceptual drawing of the Ryerson with a stern mounted boom, some years ago. It looked great but, according to the article the shape of her cargo holds were not conducive for conversion to a self unloader without costly modifications. Sad because she is a legend on the Great Lakes. Even her engine room design and layout had a pleasing look to it and permitted the Engineer an unrestricted view of the plant.

@@flappygustafson3262 It's not a ship it's a boat on the Great Lakes.

@@TheFogLakeshore it is a ship

@@TheFogLakeshore To me, anything longer than 75 feet is a SHIP.

ikr it is weird why they doing this. But i know why A bade Economy in the steel industry so shes been in layup ever since they're talkin about retiring her but then again they also want her in service so they care, they may decide it may never sail again:-(. which i hope it sails

Unfortunatley she is very small compared to others on the lakes so she may be sitting a while

She's basically the ss united states of the great lakes meaning shes been in lay up longer then in service i just hope they save her as a museum because I think she's elgegible to become one and i hope so because she has an allure of style, grace, elegance and beauty all her own

@@northstarstatepolitics1652 her biggest issues are the lack of self unloading equipment and she’s a steam boat. That limits where she can go and requires more work to keep running.

@@RailPreserver2K the Arthur M Anderson deserves that honor more, sorry

She’s not going anywhere. She’s still in great physical shape and they fired up the boilers and turbine last year. There’s a good chance she will be used again.

@@thomasreinker3402 Well I hope we'll see her again soon. 🙏💕

@@thomasreinker3402 Yay!

Kyle Dorsty That is correct. Leslie Tyfon 300 and 425. same sound. exact.

Creepy

Simon Wood she is dried docked in Duluth. If they cant find a crew they will scrap her:(

@@tuckerhager6429 if your old enough mabye you should be one of her crew!

@@Michiganrailfanner23 I want to but college 😭

@@tuckerhager6429 mabye wait then

False. Not to be mean. The Edward L ryerson has a steam horn the Fitzgerald had a diesel powered horn

@@tuckerhager6429 I didn't know that

The Fitz had a steam powered horn. It was a leslie tyfon 425 and a tyfon 300...just like the ryerson, if you look on Google images, there are a few pics of the fitz blowing her horns, and you can see steam jetting out from them...At the time pretty much every freighter on the lakes either had a leslie tyfon 300, 425, or a combination of both. And most ships were powered by steam turbines

@@cliffsvictorycaddilac5982 that's because it's not true fitz was steam not diesel

@@tuckerhager6429 The Fitz was never diesel powered, so therefor this is incorrect.

Its hard to say, since there really is no recording of the fitzgerald's horns...at least I couldn't find one

@@stancedstyfon1234 there is a recording of the Arthur B Homer, the twin sister to the Fitz, so it's about as close as we can get to it

@@MidwestSteven1 again, it's still hard to say my friend...for one, it could be an audio of any freighter back then...a lot of freighters at the time had both the Leslie tyfon 425 and 300 dve..and eventhough the Homer had those horns...the Fitz could've had a different pitch, different tone...etc...But I have listened to that recording, and if it's genuine..we definitely have the closest audio

Dave Gunderson wait... 1975? Would that have been the ship I am thinking about? (Edmund Fitzgerald)

The one in 1975 was probably “Big Fitz”

GreatLakesSturgeon only significant shipwreck on the lakes in 1975 is the Fitz. No other possible choice.

mamllc Lol I am 3 years late but I figured eh why not. Its in Superior WI and has been for a while.

So, is Bay Shipbuilding no more? I laid the Presque Isle up there in ‘97 and the Ryerson was there at that time.

She's in long term lay-up at the Barko dock in Superior. Right at the north end of Tower Ave. Owners are taking a nice depreciation tax write-off on her. Doubt she will run again. Not many places to unload, not many engineers have a steam endorsement anymore. Huge money to convert to a self-unloader and a diesel conversion.

Shes laid up near Connors Point in Superior Wisconsin

She’s in Fraser shipyards in the twin ports.

Chris shippam Thats what I thought I think it had to be a low "C" and a octave higher "C" But they really never should ajust that Because this is THE sound from her (Probably we will never hear it again)

its for 0:22

roundthirteen With the Callaway, don't forget the Anderson and the Clarke. All three vessels look identical and the only way to tell them apart is their names, especially with the modern Great Lakes Fleet paint scheme

hear 0:22 thats the fitzgerald horn

Typically there are two separate buttons for them, captain Treece simply loved using both of them, he still uses both on the Wilfred Sykes

the real is 0:22

Followed by Alpena (the only operating steam whistle on the lakes.

@Robert King aka central marine logistics

Due to lack of self unloading equipment and unable to do said cause of the hatches

Bad Economy............She came in during the Great Recession which was occuring during that time. She has never been out since.

She will come back in 2025

Jimmer155 To be honest, I wish either American Steamship, Interlaker Steamship, or Great Lakes Fleet would buy her and invest the money into converting her into a self-unloader. Granted it's a shame to see the last straight-decker disappear like that, but she deserves to be working the lakes, not rotting away in a shipyard

@@85bbenjaminfan no no no no NO, she's not the American straight decker everyone gets this confused THE JOHN SHERWIN is not in service as a self unloader

somethin somethin Ryerson is a straight decker. It’s one of the last.

Ryerson is driven by steam turbine, so yes it is a steamship 😃

@@MidwestSteven1 Oh okay I didn't know notice that it was.

No I don't know why but it's owned by central marine logistics

LOL THATS WHAT I DID

Excuse me sir, what are you on?

What drugs did you take and where did you get them; because i don't know what language you spoke.

Sir this isn’t a Wendy’s, so I’ll bite: what the heck are you talking about ?

Probably some 9 year old who thinks they’re cool and all.

probably some idiot who has never seen a real lake freighter

The owners of the ship apparently
