Its amazing to see such a huge vessel passing from under the raised road bridge. Great technology to have made it possible. And also nice to see people applauding and waiving at the ship staff.Though been a sailor for 8years but never been or seen this earlier. Thanks for sharing.

What a huge ship Thank you for helping us to see such a huge ship..

Now, by May 2020, more than 53 millions views, marveled at the beauty of such an ordinary scene for Duluth residents. This common bridge on the shores of Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, and the heroic and kind citizens of this place, gave their positive contribution to the increasing admiration worldwide. This is not only cool, this is magical ! People, people. People who loves people. Oh my gosh !

Definitely a great video. I'm from st johns newfoundland. I was very fortunate to watch a huge cruise ship head out of harbor. I was at the most narrow point. The ship was all lit up. I was actually that close to the ship as it was passing thru I could hear people talking on the boat.

I used to work for this company. Mormac Marine in Stamford CT. Great place I talked to the captain on that amazing ship. Miss you guys.....🙏

The skill it takes to get something that huge through an area that small, and in a storm it is amazing.

the captain of such a huge vessel must have perfect navigational skills to pass such a narrow place under the bridge at Duluth MN Thank you for this video 🙂 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

So many never stop to think about the skill level of the professional people that do this work for a living. Literally like threading a needle but with unbelievable consequences if you mess up. Thank you for sharing the video, quite an interesting bit of footage!

Talk about a flashback!!! I lived in Duluth in the mid 70s when my dad worked for the DM&IR.....My mom would bring me and my 3 brothers down to watch the ships all of the time. Hell....I even remember the night/morning The Fitz sank.......Such a tragic loss. Great video.......and some great memories of my childhood.

This is one of the most spectacular sights in the United States. That ship went through a VERY narrow passage. Watching a big Superlaker at close range is a real thrill - and in a place like this, you're likely to get very wet. I grew up in Wisconsin and always wanted to go to Duluth-Superior, but didn't get there until I was 68 years old and had lived in California for almost half a century. This ship is the longest ship on the Great Lakes, at 1,013 feet long. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Paul_R._Tregurtha

Behemoth of a ship.. wonder struck at the following 1. Size of the ship 2. Power of the engines to push dat Behemoth 3. The Depth at dat part of the channel for a ship of dat size to pass 4. The skill of the crew to get dat beast through a narrow lane.. 5. Some beautiful people waving to dat ship n crew..a morale booster for the crew for choppy days ahed 👌 respect 🙌 👏 🙏

Sailed under that bridge a few times in 1948 on the ussteel boat Horace Johnson GREAT PEOPLE UP THERE LOVE GOING THERE .BEAUTIFUL TRIP

That was an awesome video. Thank you 🙏🏼 I love seeing the giant Lakers. It’s fabulous to get another perspective of what I’ve been seeing further down the Great Lakes system on the Canadian side. The Welland canal has a lift bridge similar to Duluth’s for the giant Lakers like this, circumventing Niagara Falls from Lake Erie south to Lake Ontario. 😊 I have sat watching the Lakers go under the bridge there many times. It never gets old. ❤

Incredible!!!! My son and I had a unexpected encounter at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel when we saw a U.S. Navy Submarine come up from under to go over the tunnel and then submerged back down after clearing the tunnel. I thought it was a buoy at first glance but it kept moving then I realized it was the periscope from the submarine. The expression on my son’s face was priceless. I wish I had video of that moment.

I go to Duluth almost every weekend and watching these monster ships come in never gets old!

Two things people do not understand: 1) the "hole" in the side is just the top coat of paint scrubbed off because of passing through locks. There is no hole. 2) the "dirty water" is just the sediment mixed up with the water because of rough waters and it being forced through the narrow pass.

That ship is big enough to be a city, and have its own zip code! Huge!

Being from the Niagara region I have many memories of the Welland ship canal and the lakers who have navigated its waters but this is sensational and thank you for the video!

This is one huge tanker. The length of it is amazing. Just leaves me wondering what huge sea it needs to make a U turn at sea!!!

As someone who’s lived in Duluth my entire life, I’m shocked to see this video has 35 million views when I see these ships enter the harbor every single day. Makes me realize I take it for granted. This really is cool, I guess.

Whoever filmed this sounds like a kind person. :) Also, two of my favorite things in one video: bridges and boats!

What an awesome sight seeing this beautiful lake freighter plow through those waves in the canal no less! Safe travels guys...❤

Its amazing to see these in person pass so closely, especially considering it's just a lake!

I am greatly impressed by trhe fact that the ship isnt bobbing up and down constantly even though the water is rough

Awesome ship accompanied with the waves!

Beautiful coverage.... Thank you sister...

Very cool, my grandpa used to sail the great lakes before the Korean war. He was the engineer for the coal boilers that powered the steam engines. He says that the entire boat used to go under water, but that they never were scared because they new the boats were made to handle the waves. Still amazed by his stories!

This is my home town that I still currently live in!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I have so much love for my Duluth, MN ❤️

I live here and literally, it’s so odd that 35 million people watched this our town has like about 87,000 people. Fricking crazy bro!

Awesome. Blessings from Michigan

Visited Duluth and Lake Superior with our friends from MN back in 1995

Kudos to the camera person. You have a steady hand. Also great framing of the relevant action. Thanks for sharing this video 😊 Noticed how the ship doesn't even budge as the "waves" hits it. Amazing sight. 😊

I'm from Indonesia and I LOVE USA,, GOd Bless America

Love Duluth. Grew up going there, spent a few years there at school too. The lift bridge is always a cool place to just go and hang out around in the summer time.

It's Amazing to see a large vessel closely crossing the rough water.

I live here and it never gets old. A little tough going through in my 18 foot boat but its fun!

oh my god it's beautiful voice beautiful video thank you so much for presenting video for the people

Can you imagine the responsibility of the captain. The years of training. I can my husband is a tug boat captain. Years of training experience. You have no idea of the many different licences they have to have. I do I spent many hours helping him study to go to the coast guard for the tests. Radar training it just goes on and on. I have been on his tug boat many times. I have went on trips with him. It astonishing to me after 40 years what he does. A sail boat crossed over in front of him. He didn't see it anymore. He was pushing a barge full of gasoline. When he did see it again is when it rolled up along side the tug. He could tell you the name of the cigarettes the man had in his shirt pocket. Why they think these things can stop on a dime is beyond me. You can bet a piolet was on board. They take them in and out then a boat will come along side so they can disembark off the ship. Those license to be a pilot is another thing all together. I commented each and everyone of those people. Deck hands it's amazing. The time on board the sacrifice they make away from home for long periods of time. My hubby is out two sometimes three weeks. Yeah it's good money. We figured in a year we will of only been six months. Married forty not really it's only been twenty because of time away.

Been there in person to see the 1000’ ship passing under the Aerial Lift bridge last July 4th…amazing

That ship used to winter dock in my hometown of Fairport Harbor OH, about 20yrs ago! Nice to see it still in operation and workin hard! Go USA!!!!

Nunca tinha visto um navio tão comprido assim. Saudações do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.

My wife and I just returned from visit o Duluth. We stayed at Fitger's and could watch the ships come and go from the hotel. Very nice lake front in that area.

I enjoyed the hell outta this- thanks!!!!

Thank you for uploading. Greetings from Brazil

well done this is a great video, nicely shot and the quality is far better than a lot of tat i've seen on you tube. A lot of other people who film things could take a lesson from you here. I've lost count of the films ive watched that are poorly framed, shakey, out of focus etc. This is great, well done.

PART 2 OUT NOW! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9iUn8tjt9WoooE.html

That ship is long but that water sure is rough. Was waiting to see the water gush over.

Cool first time i saw this big ship but only this video.thank you for sharing this amazing

My father is the captain of the Paul R Tregurtha❤️

I'm from cloquet mn, been there plenty of times. I've seen that ship more than once

I don't know what has been loaded in her hold, but there a serious hole in her side not far back from the bow. I'm surprised that nobody else seems to have noticed it.

This is a great video! I have been to Duluth a lot of times and those Superior waves can be real big. You captured the reality of being on a lake freighter. When I was eighteen, I boarded the John G. Munson from the mailboat(Westcott) in the Detroit river. I wish that someone could have made a video of that.

I've seen this in person and it's awesome. It was at night and was surreal.

yep ! Viva Queen Tregurtha ..always happy to meet you in Duluth even if the sky is grey 💕

This videos got a ton of views wow. I was just there last weekend, shot the boat going out was pretty cool!

Why all the thumbs down? This was great!

Yes, really a giant ship. Also, genius idea how that bridge was made. Thanks for sharing.

Impressive!!! Though I'm living close to an industrial port I've never seen a vessel that large.

Esse realmente é grande. Parabéns. Luiz Carlos - Cabo Frio - RJ - Brasil.

What a lovely beast! Nice post.

Wow menakjubkan..... Teruskan bakatmu... Ada orang Indonesia gak ni 🤔🤔

To captain and crew highest respect and admiration, to me you are heroes.

زوجي هاذ العام راح يطلع للبحر غي بابور كيما هاك ادعولو انشالله يروح و يولي بسلامة

Nobody : KZfaq : Recommendatting this after 5 years passed

It’s truly beautiful in person. The waves are giant and when they crash on the shore you can smell the mist in the cold air. There are seagulls everywhere but don’t really bother you. All sorts of WW2 machinery, all sorts of rich history about the iron range and the importance of Duluth shaping the future of Minnesota. The steep hills. The nature up north. The giant beautiful rock formations. While looking out on superior it seems that it goes on forever. There is just something beautiful and peaceful about Duluth.

greetings from indonesia ... from kembang eceng, Nusantara religious channel

Beautiful vessel just sailing along ...😊❤

I too am enjoying watching the ships. I was surprised how dirty the water is. I suppose we have the same thing on the Pacific. But it just doesn’t appear brow.

Wow! 😊 It is so beautiful up there! I miss Minnesota!🙄An amazing video!

A small city in Minnesota bit can track 66 million on KZfaq for Duluth I'm happy to see this

To captain and crew love and respect ✌️🤞🤞🤛👌🖖⚡

I've always wanted to be one of the guys on those 1000' vessels. Coming out of the harbor to literally spend a few weeks at sea. But usually I'm just watching from the old Arrowhead Bridge while I hook up walleye, cats, and sturgeon. I've been in AZ for a year too, I'm looking forward to the cold, the wind, the woods, and especially fish.

Way to go Duluth. You know how to put on a show. Love this area so very much. I grew up neat here. I dated on this pier a long time ago. Thank you for the view and the memories.🌼💖😄💖🌼

Wow….. impressive to say the least. The skill involved.

*So nice live view of this wonderful ship*

The MV Paul Tregurtha was the last ship built by the American Shipbuilding Company in Lorain OH. After that the yard was closed and worked moved to Florida to avoid paying union wages. That decision was made by George Steinbrenner of NY Yankees fame.

You should see the lake when it's really rough out there- scary huge waves that can sink a ship like that. I love the harbor at Duluth, always a stop on my way home from the Boundary Waters along with the nearby maritime museum.

That is freaking awesome🤯 !!!!!!!!

Seriously??!!! I swear that boat did not look that big. It was freaking huge!!!

It makes you me feel so little... OMG! IVE NEVER EVEN IMAGINED A BOAT THAT BIG!

So simple and good

if you are watching in 2021 you are legend

DAYUM! The current through that channel is unbelievable.

I live in Duluth, mn and I have seen many ships in my day come thru the canal. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

That ship is so freakin long !

ഓഹ് ......ഒരു ജില്ലാ അല്ലെ ആ ഒഴുകിപോകുന്നത് ...... 😀😀 Wonderful ........thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Paul I like your build boat ⛵⛵⛵ best boat in the world 🌎🌎🌎🌎

It’s funny reading the comments and seeing the amount of views this has when I live with this bridge and the boats every day...

I see these ships every day. They travel from the Gulf of St Lawrence to Duluth. That is half way across North America!!

Wow it's so amazing,I wish too see this in person

Luckily for me I get to see this everyday.

Mighty fine boat video you have mister! :o)

I see this vessel all the time here in Michigan. I live in Port Huron by the Blue Water Bridges, and see this stuff alot.

आप दूर होकर ♥️ भी इतने अच्छे लगते हो, ना जाने पास होते तो कितने अच्छे लगते। 🌹,

Amazing
