Any excuse to blow the whistle indeed. 😊

I also would rather spend time on a great lakes freighter than a crowded "fancy" cruise ship!

5:24 smoking on deck while loading coal? Seems like that takes a special type of intelligence.

Coal dust can be very flammable, yet the interviewer was smoking a cigarette.

Thank you so much so interesting and Informative

Camera man drunk?what shitty work

I’m surprised coal dust isn’t a problem.

Good. Good. Good video. Years agod (decades past, actually), I had heard about someone who traveled on a freighter. He preferred it to crossing the ocean on a passenger ship.

Yikes, all that fast camera movement I felt i was on a rolling ship....🤢

That would be so cool to experience

Can’t here the conversation.

They're called "emergency crash back". In Navy we will do these regularly. The propellers are what they call a "CRPP" system(controllable reverse pitch propeller). The ship is "supposed" to be able to go from full throttle forward to full throttle back in 1 1/2 lengths of the ship. I was stationed on a destroyer and we had fun with 80,000 shaft horsepower. We could go from standstill to 35+ nmph in less than 2 minutes and pull a crash back in less than the required length.. Fair winds and happy sailing... USS Conolly DD979 RIP...

LMFAO!!!! I don't know how many times I've watched this video and always get a laugh! Without a doubt, the PRT is a fav of mine!

How much can Paul hold compared to his sister lee?

This is a treat!

I am pretty sure I passed this ship as it was leaving the Sandusky coal docks!

always wanted to see the cargo holds close up

Hi mike. Boy do i remember working on that deck. Me and a fitter set the rails on her

I was one of many that built your ship. I am pretty sure I burned in all the windows on her.

Madagascar ship honk

That looks awesome!! ❤ I would so love to be able to stay on a Great Laker!! How long can one stay aboard?? I absolutely love how it sounds!🥰 I'd fall asleep so fast aboard any Great Laker!@ Very awesome video!! Thank you so much for sharing! How i would have loved to have been able to stay on the Edmund Fitzgerald!!! ❤❤❤

Was it 7 tenths of a statute or nautical mile?

I worked on board the PRT for inter-lake steam ship as roving maintenance for the fleet.they did not have any open rooms down below with the crew so i had to stay up in the owners room the best view & the food was awesome while on board

Who is this woman that is touring you guys? What’s her name? Just curious? Thks in advance

Thats awesome who said u cant drive a 10 story building down river

The Queen of the Lakes

I wanna do that 😭😭😭

I am surprised that these ships are so chopped up inside, seems like a lot of doorways and narrow halls to go through in an emergency.

terrible camera work.. hard to watch, and showed little

I would love to do this.

I was on CGC Morgenthau in the mid 1970's, she had 2 Fairbanks Morse diesels that had 3500shp each and 2 Pratt and Whitney FT 4 gas turbines that had 18000shp each. Morganthau was 378 ft long and weighed about 3000 tons full load. A flank bell on the turbines would give a max available speed of 29 kts. We had 2- 13 ft controllable pitch props and from a flank bell we could stop in about 2 ships lengths, from dead in the water we could get to 29 knots in a just less than a minute. It was fun to watch and experience but it about deafened us in sonar. Like you are doing here we also shook like a wet dawg, fun times!

Is this a "one way" cruise?

What does one have to do to be a guest on that ship?

great video thank you

1000 feet per minute is just over 11 mph.

Get some foam on that microphone!

It's So Big, what do l do? Oh my God!

These freighters are simply majestic and in my opinion a huge part of Michigan history. Beautiful ships❤️

I wanna go !!!

Captain Timothy Dayton. Respect ✊

Wow. I would love to take this ride. It looks very interesting and relaxing at the same time.

I love the PRT.

I’ve watched this video dozens of times. Yeah, I love the PRT!⛴️

Nice vid and emergency stop test. But I was always wondering what purpose is the long stepladder serves an great lakes bulkers?

I would love to be on board!

i think that is awesome for a ship that big to stop that quick

Hello from the Keweenaw!

She's Just A Beautiful Freighter!!
