Some people say, they're just steel and iron. I say yes, but they have a heart and soul. Their engines are the heart and the crews the soul. The lives that were lived on them, the cargo they carried that affect people's lives across the world, not just North America. It's heart breaking to see.
Almost a hundred years old, that's a good long run for a person or a ship !
this video is living proof that the music can ruin your video
I am new to this channel. How do they move the ship on to the shore?
big site!!
sweet catch
The first excavator I worked around at 18yrs old 5 days out of high school. Digging 28’ deep for a half a mile through the woods putting in 8” ductile sewer pipe. It was quite the eye opener!!! It didn’t have that long of stick on it but everything else was the same.
can i have one
I ran a 245 B in alligator alley in 1987. With weldco boom and stick- extra counterweight. What a beast.
I loved that Neil. Such giant marvels of human endeavor that are sent for scrap after so few years of service just like so many buildings and other works and dreams. I had no idea that this was right in our back yard.
I know every ship has its last voyage but I wish it hadn’t happened to those two beautiful Lakers.
I got to learn how to run hoe on an old 235 cat. Cool machine.
Time stands still for no one.Let them go gracefully memories keep forever. Amen...
nice to see its old color scheme!
Moved many of them back in the 70s and 80s around Western Pa., West Virginia and Maryland.
Ever move any for Jack Carlson in Wayne Township, Lawrence County, PA?
@@williammain3247 that doesn’t ring a bell. The closest to there I moved a 4600 by route 80 by Clearfield. Funny story about that. The motel we stayed at was afraid to rent us rooms knowing we were with a company. Turned out the railroad put a new line through the area. They had a party the last night of the job that got out of hand. They ended up burning the motel down. Most of our work was in West Virginia and Maryland. We were from the Uniontown area.
Some ships rest on the ocean floor...some come to the scrap yard. They are soldiers who fought the good fight...now they make way for ships with technology and materials that make them superior. God bless those who put out to sea. I keep you all in my prayers. I wish you calm seas and good fortune 🌹⚓
What a waste of beautiful land. People take what they want and just leave all their crap. Even if they were to recycle the metal I'm sure the soil would be toxic. Then there's all the concrete. What a shame.
Before this was a scrap yard, there was a Algoma Steel facility occupying these lands so I'd say this was a good spot for this operation. The good news is Marine Recycling Corp. is one of the few operations that meets all modern regulations.
is this assessable for photos??
Not on foot unless you have business with them and permission to do so on their grounds.
I thought they did build but I could be mistaken a older style ship a few years back I think a 700+ ft
This is strictly as scrap yard. You might be thinking of the old Port Weller Dry Docks on the North end of the Welland Canal, now owned by Heddle Marine of Hamilton. They do ship repair for now, maybe down the road we will see new builds.
What is it unloading??
Unprocessed cane sugar
A majority is from South America.
@@neilwalsh87 true
@@neilwalsh87how do ships travel from south america to toronto ? Is toronto connected to the Atlantic ocean ?
I think Arthur M Anderson will be saved. She’s historic for being the last ship in contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Lots of money and time required to save such a large ship, maybe the pilothouse might be a more feasible option, time will tell.
@@neilwalsh87Maybe incorporate it with the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point.
How do they drag those ships onto the dry land?
They use inflated roller bags and hydraulic pullers.
This boat sat in a dock in green bay for years. Delivered asphalt next door and think I saw it out of the slip twice. One was for the trip to this scrap yard. Was still used as a powder holder for La farge until they built a holding silo
I'd imagine someone from the head office, I'd doubt many make it to this yard with bells, builders plates or wheels.
Fairly Desolate looking place
Yes, but a nice little strip exists on the other side with older storefronts.
Just thinking of the history and the people who worked on them over the years. It's sad they have to be scrapped! ⚓
Lots of memories for some.
So, the SS Crapo has crapod.............
They have a museum ship , in Cleveland close to The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame .More of these ships could be used as attractions and perhaps converted into hotels , apts and affordable housing .
There was a plan to convert the holds of the Seaway Queen into an aquarium years ago but that fell through.
Bunch of negative ninnys on here
New paint make it look new
Hardly a change of that but these guys like to keep old iron around and there's a change it wont be scrapped for a while.
Look like it been sitting awhile
A long time and there was hope of it operating as they had a job opening posted for a 2400B, but know I see they've been contracting out the work to an outfit that own modern Liebherr duty cycle draglines.
How about we build ships with more class? Bring back the classic steamer look. The amount of rear house ships i see is depressing. The shipping industries have no pride anymore.
While they looks better, those designs were due to the times.
Nothing has pride anymore!
I snuck aboard the Crapo in Alpena back in the late '90s and poked around in the engine room a bit. I was working on the Myron C Taylor at the time. Yet another classic Laker that is no longer with us. We were there unloading stone.
Both met the end in Port Colborne.
I sure hope they keep the pilot houses of those beautiful old boats. They sure make beautiful homes.
As of a few months ago the pilothouse was on the ground intact.
Rather than see ships scrapped, i wish they would use them for restaurants and dance halls
They got wheel houses like trophies
Indeed.
I grew up here and spent my childhood exploring these old ships. Once the reclaimed a WW2 landing craft from the lake bottom and myself and friends went through it.
awesome
Very sad
What's with the collection of pilothouses?
Some people purchase them for homes/cottages the others are used for storage.
The seven people who have disliked this have no soul.
Most likely the ones who did expected some sort of Hollywood quality video.
@@neilwalsh87more like ignorant anticapitalist socialists zombies
ST Crapo and EM Ford... Last of the Reciprocating steam powered Lakers. What an absolute shame
For sure, would be something to see just the engine on display.
Who gets to keep the ship's bell?
Tragic, soon the lakes will be all ATB's and it won't be the same.
Incredible detail. Looks like a cold and dreary day in an unsentimental business. Not a soul around. Was it a holiday or weekend? Are the wheel houses saved intact for some other purpose. I see a lot of them sitting on the ground. Maybe they make good office buildings. Looks like a huge operation, but nothing going on.
I just watched a different video where the owner of the yard mentioned that a wheelhouse they just took off was to become someone’s house. So I guess you can buy them
This was on a weekend when nobody is working in the yard. Yeah the wheelhouses of some vessels are saved.
I've been in the grain elevators across the canal and seen the MRC. A fascinating place and I'm glad I don't work there. At the time, they had rolled the one ship on land using huge inflatable rollers. A piece of Captain John's boat the Jadran was still there.
@@OscarLimaMike I was only there to inspect the boilers and air tanks. I imagine that in the winter it was one frickin cold place!
Yeah I've only been there for the drone flight but yeah you could really feel that Lake Erie wind.
Interesting how the breakers yard has used the wheelhouse of formers ships scrapped for office and staff building ashore. Both of those large ships look like they were built in the period 1910-1930 era? Great video, most enjoyable.
I noticed that, about the wheelhouses, too but have no idea when the ships were built. I never knew Great Lakes cargo ships had such a following.
@@1940limited I don't really follow them, prefer ocean going ships but the video caught my eye, strange American thing, big round bow and wheel house right at the front where ocean going bulkers have bridge at the aft end and more contoured bows.
The Crapo is 90-something. You can buy the deckhouses and bridges from them (along with anything else), people use them as cabins and mancaves.
The following wheelhouses are still in the yard - 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴, 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘴, 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦, 𝘑𝘢𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘯 (𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯𝘴), 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘵, 𝘚.𝘛. 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘰, 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦, 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘙𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘈𝘭𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘳, 𝘗𝘢𝘶𝘭 𝘏. 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥. The 𝘖𝘫𝘪𝘣𝘸𝘢𝘺 and 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯 𝘓. (Ferry) wheelhouses were purchased and removed from site.
at least save the wheelhouse and whistle
Crapo had one of THE best sounding whistles, too! Looks as though it had already been removed? Hopefully it got saved.
RIP The great ST Crapo, may her legacy live long! RIP Manistee as well, we will miss your gray hull upon these waters.
How old was the Crapo?
@@1940limited 96 years old. Launched in 1927.
@@nssrrailfan Thanks for that information. It seems as if it had a good, long life.
I have a few pics of the Manistee from about 4 years ago when she was still tied up in Toledo.
Why are they keeping the bridges of wrecked ships?
To be sold as cottages and so forth. The entire bow house of a Ford freighter is now a house on a cliff in Ohio. I've seen an artilce about it, its still outfitted like it was an active ship and it was pretty luxurious as Henry Ford travelled on it.
@@lawrencelewis2592 I wonder how they transport such a thing.
@@1940limited On a barge with a large crane. You can probably find it on line. It's impressive!
They've also used an I-beam system with rollers the slide the wheelhouses off the barge onto the foundation.
Thanks Neil. Enjoyed it! 👍
