Me: I wonder if ill hear the ice cracking Ship horn: WWUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I’m glad he honked his horn letting any boats and jet skis that might be out there know that he’s coming

What a beautiful winter day. Gorgeous blue skies, sea smoke on the water, temperatures cold enough to freeze the channel--it doesn't get any better than this.

There should be a sign at the back of the ship that says "We break for nobody" (Space Balls) lol

I'm glad he honked his horn to warn the ice he's coming

me: *Turns up headphones all the way to hear the ice breaking* boat: WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

RIP headphone users.....😭

The angle on approach really shows the incredible size of these ships. 😮

When half the ship is frozen , yea its cold

You get a thumbs up just for filming in the cold

Who would go out in that freezing weather to watch a freighter coming thru? Like all the other people there, I would dammit. What a site......ya just don’t see that every day.

Missed half the video as I was to busy reading the comments 😂

This is where I first saw Lake Superior. Of the 43 states I went to hauling freight, Lake Superior was the most awesome sight. A giant freshwater ocean smack in the middle of the country.

1:07 perfect wake up alarm

Wish I was this good at breaking the ice

it's so cold it makes my bones hurt just watching this

Turbine oil changer: we gotta stop! Captain jack: "we float, we move!"

First Officer: Sir, there's ice blocking the canal!!!!! Captain: Hold my beer.

The 1% who See's this i pray you become successful in life 🤞

I love watching these from North East Uk. I know it takes time and effort to prepare and just wanted to say thanks. More please!

He was having fun with those horns

Didn't know my volume was all the way up. Now even the neighbors children down the street know.

Born and raised in Duluth and never get tired of the big boats

I work for a shipping company and a cargo cruise ship horn came through once. It was 6ft tall 5 ft wide and had its own electric motor that weighed 300 lbs. The horn it's self I think weighed 800.

Let‘s hold on for a moment and appreciate the fact that nobody ruined the video by neither adding crappy eurodance music nor shake the camera like on a trampoline nor having endless intros nor talking/yelling/screaming/commenting from the off. The video is just perfect without any of this. Thanks, mate!

Jesus Christ I’ve been away from Duluth for too long I forgot how loud those ships are. Even thru video

Absolutely love Duluth MN. Recognized the canal instantly!

After shoveling snow for 2 hours, my face looks just like the bow and anchor holes on that thing! LOL.

Great... the fucking horn woke my wife up and now she is pissed.....

So cool! The sound of the ice is awesome.

Great video never gets cold enough for the Belfast lough to freeze over down where the docks and shipyard are,, great show case for the ship lover to visit your area plenty to see 🛳️🚢🚢🚢☘️☘️☘️👍👍

Need a horn like that for my mo-ped

I remember when dad was a shipmaster throughout the great lakes..when the lakes froze hed come home for the winter and leave in the spring..

The ship emerging from the smoke low-key something you'll see in movies

This is a gentle wind, on a mild spring morning, in Saskatchewan, Canada. What most consider frigid, we consider a mild chill. I would have it no other way. I live for the cold, wind, ice, snow, dark, and beautiful wildlife.

I never saw a big ship like this one and I always enjoy watching big ships

A whole 1/2" of ice, wow.

How sweet to view this video, simple and astonishing. Thank you for sharing.

I was there that day with my camera! I believe it was -38° if I'm not mistaken. Sounds crazy, but it was such a beautiful sunny winter day. My hands had to thaw getting back to the car though! Great vid 👍

Cold climate like this is hard for me to wrap my head around! I live in southwest arizona, and the forecast this week has a lowest of 113 and a high of 117 degrees! But I guess that's the opposite end of the spectrum.

Watched in 2x speed Moves and sounds like train. 😂😂😂

That is the biggest ship I’ve ever seen

So for anyone not not familiar this is the Duluth harbor in Duluth Minnesota. The ship is honking its horn to let the Lift Bridge controller he is entering the Harbor. Ive seen alot of jokes about honking the horn to let the ice know its coming but this was the real reason which is why you heard a second horn after the first. That is what the bridge horn sounds like and it sounds so much louder in person.

This is so satisfying

"From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form"

Love Lakers. No need to post speeded-up footage. They can come along in their own sweet time.

Facts since Paul didn't do any at this time. CSL ASSINIBOINE (IMO: 7413218) is a Self Discharging Bulk Carrier that was built in 1977 (45 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Canada. It’s carrying capacity is 33309 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 8.1 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 739ft and her width is 75ft. It was built by Davie Shipbuilding Ltd., Lauzon, QC as their hull # 684 for the Power Corp. of Canada, Montreal, QC (Canada Steamship Lines, managers).

Smooth sailing through the ice sheets ! Seasonal weather wonderland! 🌬❄🌨

You also must be ready all the time, for the Lord will come when least expected - Matthew 24:24. If we truthfully ask for forgiveness for our sins He will forgive us no matter what! We have to love God with all our heart and have a relationship with Him. God loves each and every single one of yall! Have a blessed day

Possibly a dumb question, but is there a schedule of when ships pass through the canal?? I'd love to see that in person. The video footage is great but to see the true size comparison has got to be unreal.

Great !! and regards....well done ! This is the perfect video for looking in July ;))

I don’t think that ice slowed it down much. The collection of ice on the bow was pretty impressive.

Add more fog, and minus the ship's horn, and that could be the opening cinematic of a sci-fi/horror game based on exploring a huge cargo ship that came in from nowhere. It crashes into the dock, and you are the port authority person assigned to search it.

I love that sound!

Kind a like watching the grass grow. However you get a thumbs up for being out there in those conditions

It (the ship) just looks colder than cold. neat video!

0:42 HOLY COW

This ship has better ice breakers than I do...

Makes me want to get my winter stuff on just watching it!

“And out of the fog she came, like a Great Lakes Freighter!” (cue big booming music)..... Oh wait a second. She is a Great Lakes Freighter. Full stop on my grandiose entry. Great videos by the way.

we have some of the largest cruise ships come to a town close to where I live and I really need to get down to see them!

It would be better if the ship was called the "AssassinBone"

There's something calming about watching these vids. I would NEVER live here though. Too damn cold! Watching this I got cold and its 95 degrees here. :-)

Hear the ice squeaking. Great video. Glad I don’t live in the cold there.

At first I was thinking "holy shit that guy is coming in hot,"

Looks like a ghost ship in the beginning

Good video. I hate loading these boats though. The self unloader has to be swung off the boat when loading and it causes an offset list port or starboard depending on if we are loading them up or down river.

magnificent. Not gonna let a little ice slow you down.

Nice blip of the throttle @3:15

Gotta love Duluth lol

The noise the ice makes sounds amazing

DAMN! That crunchy snow sounds COLD 😎😎😎

0:42 throwback to SpongeBob SquarePants

Hey mate - go forward and clear those anchor chains, will ya?

Watching it at night on my phone, ships aren't noisy things (that's what I thought anyway) turned up volume to the max to hear some ice creaking. DAMN BLOODY SIREN WOKE UP EVERYONE AT HOME AND GAVE ME HEART ATTACK

That is one helluva horn.

Hey. Love what you are doing here. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into filming these and uploading them....every single day at this point. Great job. Seriously interested in your story...what's behind the drive to do this. :-)

St. Lawrence Canada 12 foot of ice when my ship was there

I rolled on the floor laughing at this as it was suggested by the search engine as hold music 🤣🤣🤣

The size of that thing wow, it's huge!! 😲

Crazy thought... Imagine your tongue stuck on the ship hull and you're neck-deep in the sea.

coming threw with a load of cold beers

Glad I wasnt wearing headphones watching this, Beautifully shot video .

Thanks to the comments here, saved my ears.

It was so cold the flame on my cigarette lighter froze

That horn sounds exactly like a fright train.

Canada STEAMSHIP Line? Be cool to see an actual steamship still sailing...😎 Pretty sure that horn breaks the ice in front of them. Certainly loud enough...lol

I came for the ice cracking sounds

3:16 Euro 6 Diesel

Iam surprised there are so many spectators, seeing how cold out it is.

Cleanest burning steamship I ever saw. Well done Canada.

That’s some brave people that get every morning and go to work in that environment. I must say it is beautiful.

RIP whoever had earbuds

Canal Park represent!!

I'm probably the only one that said IMMMMM READYYYYYYY !!!!!!!! when he blew the first air horn on the boat

This ship would be great for dates

As of the first horn didn't get get your attention 🙉

Ramming speed? RAMMING SPEED

Shout out if your still here 2020

The horn sounding is for the drawbridge operator to raise the drawbridge, the second horn is the bridge operator answering.
