Mesabi Miner- Raspy Salute Under Unusual Weather for November (11/16/24)
Here is video 2 of 3 of the "Shaky" videos.
This video documents the Mesabi Miner Downbound on the St Mary's River headed for Indiana Harbor IN. She was loaded with Taconite pellets (Iron Ore) from Duluth Mn.
We were treated with a nice salute from her bow horn. I have only heard this horn one other time last season. It isn't commonly used as the whistles on top of the wheel house are more commonly used. After the salute was blown the captain came out and gave a large wave. This was the part where I wished I had my Camera on me. The very calm river reflected the maroon hull perfectly while the sun shined perfectly creating awesome lighting. The day was perfect and very unusual temperatures for November. It was nearly 60 degrees, the sun was shining and there was no wind.
As the day of uploading. Today is Christmas Day! Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy Holidays. This is my last video of 2024, the next one will be uploaded in 2025!

there you go again blowing your own trumpet
Nice video and I see the water is still clean up there .
Thank you! The river is normally blue year round, if its not, something's wrong!
I helped build them both at Amship in Lorain Ohio.
@@Geraldasopko Awsome!
Nice. It would have been great if they would have captain salute each other lol 😊
I wish they did. I also understand why the didn't.
@ me too lol
Impressive dual horn salute, bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She’s sounds like a gruff veteran
Stewart J. Cort v. James R. Barker. Anyways, All lake Freighters with Dual Horns should try this out, with the lighter tone horn first and the deeper tone horn following with both blaring at the same time till the end.
I love this tug! I hope to catch this soon. Purvis tugs only make around 2-3 trips to the lower lakes (Huron & Erie) every year, this season I think only one trip being done by the Anglian Lady/PML Ironmaster, and one by the Wilfred M. Cohen/PML 9000.
She is a good looking tug and probably my favorite on the lakes. She is obviously common in the Soo because she is stationed there. She is definitely worth seeing and hopefully you get her one day!
Trying to copy the JRB lol
lol, so true, just subbed!
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
@@hunterdaenzer Any time!
Man lower lakes towing just can’t catch a break I hope that the michipiocoten is back in service soon
I bet next season she will be out.
I think that’s what happens when you don’t spend money on your boats and are content to let them rust away.
Stay safe
Real
It's nice seeing autoracks there, I think those autoracks are a "new" thing on that line. Also the 4301 has a nice horn, reminiscent of Conrail
Autoracks are new up here. LSRC stations them up here at there small yard
I would absolutely love for SJC and JRB to meet and dual horn salute to each other 🎉
That would be pretty neat!
Appears to be a Gp38 and a Coverted slug unit leading
Nice! I like how this turned out
Thank you! Editing the video was fun!
I do like her. She’s another unique looking ship. 😊
It hurts my ears through my phone
@@eliskis2024 just a loud ship horn.
This sounds like she’s operating astern but doesn’t look like it.
You would be correct! The wheel house is on the stern on top.
Fabulous video!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
You are very welcome, Thanks for the support!
Nice catch 😊
плавуча фортеця😂
“Thank you!” 😂
You are welcome! 😅
@@hunterdaenzerno you can hear someone say it 😂 (but yeah, thx for the vid too you rock)
Oh yea, That its little Mason! He is normally around in the soo!
she's sitting pretty high in the water, dought there is much coal in her.
The river depth changes drastically going into the steel plant so fully loaded isn’t an option with the low water levels this year.
Sweet video! I also noticed the Huron is doing the Soo runs, I wonder if companies are starting to look at other fleets other than Rand. Hopefully you can catch a salute from the Atlantic Huron, even more cool if you catch it's stern horn.
Lower lakes towing sold alot their contracts to CSL to get money to fix there boats. I wish the Huron woulda saluted here but unfortunately she didn’t, both horns are cool though!
Whats so bad about us? I take pride in my boat.
Not that it’s a bad ship. People just don’t like what it replaced.
Sounds like James R Barker 😂😂😂
Sweet video! I love this ATB, nice paint scheme and cute names
Thank you! It is a great pair!
And now we can say that the John Leitch is back sailing our Great Lakes 😊
I don’t see anything wrong with the photos. Something different. Another great video.
They are very grainy. My presents of photo editing made them look even worse
@@hunterdaenzer they look fine lol
Stubby!
Cebu bridge
She needs the old wire brush taken over her lol she riding so low that her anchor openings are getting washed out. Still love her though ❤
Unfortunately that rust is more than you think it is. Salt is very corrosive and she carry’s salt 85% of the trips she takes.
@@hunterdaenzer I know I was just kidding lol salt destroys our vehicles too.
Rusty but Randy
Good one! 😂
She’s definitely riding low. Her anchor openings are getting washed out. It’s funny seeing them that low in the water.
They always load that river class low. No idea why…
Very fitting horns for the most powerful laker!
My favorite! I actually happened to catch this ship today in Port Huron just as you uploaded this.
Well that’s ironic considering isn’t it! 😂
Fun fact that second locomotive has no engine and uses electric from the lead engine to power the wheels
Did you see John D Leitch is out of layup?
Yes!
She set off car alarms😂😂😂
A whole different world out there!
Sweet one! It's still weird seeing them in red and cream colors, instead of black and white.
I know. The unloader is still white if you didn't notice. I don't know if i like the black and white or maroon and cream colors better.
@@hunterdaenzer I think the maroon and cream fits better for the fleet, but I always confuse the Clyde with the Joyce now lol.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Massive ship
1004 ft long by 105 feet deep!
@@hunterdaenzer wow
Welp, if people were asleep, they aren't now.😂😂😂.
That’s for sure, rainy day so people perhaps could have been napping!
Just a little test, how many ships do you know? They can be scrapped, sunk, and still afloat. So how many do you know?
That’s hard to say. There are many ships that have/are sailing our Great Lakes. Plus the foreign vessels that come to the lakes. I couldn’t even give a rough estimate! There is a lot!
Now that is funny 😂
The Algoma Transports replacement 😢
Sad but money and efficiency comes first
@@hunterdaenzer I know
