Winter Layup on the Great Lakes (25+ Ships): A Beginner's Guide to the Ships of the Great Lakes

This is a different kind of video.
It’s focused on the winter layup of cargo ships of the Great Lakes and why it’s needed.
**CORRECTION**
I mistakenly say the M/V James R. Barker was the first thousand foot vessel.
The M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first.
The Barker was the first to be wholly constructed on the Great Lakes.
my apologies for the mistake.
***
You will see plenty of ships on Lake Erie and hear from Eric Peace.
Peace is the VP of the Lake Carriers’ Association.

Peace talks about the maintenance of the ships and the importance of the Great Lakes shipping.
The second half of the video is ships and the sound of gulls.

I've got two videos coming out from the Cleveland area. The first shows the American Courage and the John G. Munson. The second will follow the Northern Venture as it heads up the Cuyahoga River to deliver a load of stone. They should be out in the next week or so.

The H. Lee White is laid up in Buffalo at the Frontier elevator this year. She's just been unloaded on 3-1 & going to have some major work done on her bow thruster now for a few weeks. The tug Thomas R Morrish is also laid up here with her derrick boat the Ryba 150 & the SS Columbia is here too.

The Barker wasn’t the 1st footer. The Stewart Cort was. Big Barker was my first footer however

Thanks for the information. Looking back, I missed the part of the Barker's information that says it was the first 1000-footer built entirely on the Great Lakes.

Correct. The Cort has a large No. 1 painted on her pilot house because of it.

actually the Stewart j cort is the first thousand footer that’s why it has the big #1

Thank you. I misread that the Barker was the first thousand footer. After going back, it is the first thousand footer constructed entirely on the Great Lakes.

Are the seagulls & geese angry at the drone ? Flying around it and yelling at it ?

@nkyrailfan 3 ай бұрын

The birds you hear are mostly in the water. I recorded them at Cullen Park. The drone can't record any (usable) audio because of the spinning propellers.

@saxman01 3 ай бұрын

Very informative and interesting. Good photography with all the aerial views. However the sound quality is a problem. I had to increase the volume every time the man spoke (representing the shipping association) and then turn it down so the narration isn't too loud. This reduced my enjoyment of the video.

What? You don't like Lake Michigan? Nothing about Illinois or Indiana. Gary Indiana no longer makes one pound of every six made anywhere in the world as it did in the nineteen forties and fifties, but there's still a lot of lake freight down here especially if you are talking agriculture.
