The Coast Guard didn't mobilize for the Fitzgerald. They stated that the winds were too fast and sent two loaded freighters back out into a storm that could have done them all in. They also didn't maintain the Whitefish Point lighthouse properly, after knowing via radio transmissions that the Fitz had lost its radar and was running on visuals. Just admit your faults, don't cover them up.

After the Fitz sank, the Canadian Coast Guard did a new survey of the bottom profile along its route and found that a rock reef extended over a mile further into the lake than the charts had previously shown. Because the radar on the Fitz was out, the Arthur Anderson, about 3 miles ahead of her, was giving them positions to chart their course from. The positions transmitted to the EF showed that they could have hit that reef when plotted on the new charts. Could there be another uncharted reef where the Michipicoten struck?

Probably up forward at the 'forepeak' below the forcastle and the chain locker. The cargo holds are encapsulated by ballast tanks all around and the rat runs (passageway tunnels, also used by mariners to move fore and aft within the ship during heavy weather) which lie below and aside of them. Below the cargo holds are the double bottom tanks. The bottoms of the cargo holds look like a giant ice cube tray, and have 'gates' that open and close. These are controlled by operators during unloading and discharge of their cargo onto 1-3 conveyor belts in the belly of the ship that run 'alongships' under the cargo holds. The cargo is transported along the tunnel conveyor(s) abaft of the cargo holds and transferred into a hopper and uptake conveyor that takes the cargo up to weather deck where it moves along the boom conveyor, where it is then transported over the shipside and then discharged shoreside into hold areas or (a) receiving hopper(s).

True, I have sailed upon them and mariners have a special affinity for them and they are referred to as 'boats'. Laker's of course are Great Lakes freighters, and the real, old graceful laker prior to the addition of the self-unloading boom were also know as straight deckers. Salt water freighters freighters are referred to as Salties. Another noteworthy addition is that mariners crew Merchant vessels, and sailors crew navy vessels. Merchant mariners should be referred to as mariners...not sailors. Sailors are found in a Navy. Also, merchant marine also stands as the plural usage. The term merchant marines should never be used. Marines are a combat force, and US Marines are under the Department of the Navy. In the US Merchant Marine, using the term Merchant Marines is never used out of our respect for the United States Marine Corp.

Taconite is Mexico's most valuable resource. Transport with care.

I can tell you what happened without an investigation. Theyre operating a 70 year old ship that should have gone to the breakers a long time ago. Sure, theres older ships still afloat, but most of them are museums. Merchant ships like that dont lead gentle lives. Retirement for that ship will be well earned.

Are you crazy? None of that is true.

@@thereissomecoolstuff - Most of it's true. She's one of only a few old school lakers with the forward pilothouse even still around. Superior is one of the toughest places to operate a ship. Long reaches where the wind can build up huge waves, and it's so big that air pressure zones in the atmosphere cause a tide-like effect that causes an entire area of the lake to flow away like a current and generate more waves. It's a huge lake and it beats a ship constantly Lakers don't become museum ships, unfortunately. They become Hyundais.

I wanna speak, as a Naval Architect, that Great Lake Lakers are very well known for long service lives. 1950s is getting on the older range, yes, but these boats tend to have large service lives due to Lake Superior being freshwater and the fact they are laid up over the winter in Sturgeon Bay. It is not uncommon to see a 20 year old ship in the Atlantic look dilapidated, meanwhile a 60 year old Laker look pristine.

This ship is capable of another 70 years of service if it’s properly maintained, lake boats don’t weather like ocean going ships do. The reason a lake freighter looks rough is because of the beating they take on the lakes during storms

@ScottLafray-dd2fp Ай бұрын

@@AppalachianMountaineer1863 Key phrase: if it's properly maintained. How many merchanters out there could pass a mechanical inspection with flying colors? Not many. Proper maintenance eats into profit margins. Just ask the owners of that container ship that took out the Key bridge. I'm not a sailor, but if I can't convince my boss to replace a couple tires on my three year old truck, how much luck has the crew of a 70 plus year old freighter got?

Taconite is deadly not because of the amount of tacos, but because of the methane that you create and release through flatulence. The nite part comes in when you go to bed and your farts get trapped under the covers, that's when the real troubles start in the form of a Dutch oven. Farts so thick, you can easily suffocate. Be safe out there citizens.
