This is what true Americans used be like. God fearing, hard working and friendly. We’ve lost a good bit of those traits. Nowadays, you wonder if you are still in America! The way they are flooding in at the border. It’s awful!

Someone did an amazing job editing this together

"We'll cross that trail when we get there." Personifies the mindset of a southern, or hell even a yank who works hard, and is skilled in his profession. We don't fret over what if's or what a bout whens. When it's time to handle business. You handle business. Great video.

thanks for this video. I'm from Texas and had visited Bayou La Batre. I love that place and people

Love this 🤩

I grew up in Hueytown AL and spent a lot of time on the Black Warrior at various camps and cabins and fishing trips. I still get excited when I see and hear one of the Tow Boats!

Was a petroleum surveyor on the Mississippi River, worked on tug boats through my years. Much respect for these men. Skilled professionals. Funny, the rest of the country call these men simple rednecks, they wouldn’t exist as they know it without real men like these, and could NEVER work like they do. AND, the so called well off, don’t make half the money these REAL men do.

This is awesome. Thank you for posting.

Old school for sure !long before GPS Chart plotters AIS comupters Sub chapter M looks like an old decca radar in the pilot house !!!!!

Harris and Biden wants electric tug boats as well lmao

Uncle Smitty loved his job on push boats. “Anything to get some time away from your Aunt Gertrude.”

GREAT JOB thanks DUNEDIN FL

I can’t understand a Fucking word what the fuck and I know 4 languages lmao 🤣

This was very well done.

cool river to run cool video

neutral to wide open reverse. got damn thats hard on the clutch

This was an amazing film.

Is the Rhett the old Inland Pilot it looks like her

Oliver lock still looks good in its condition at that age

Really cool to see this! Good old days for sure. I was the last Port Captain at Warrior & Gulf Navigation (a few of their vessels seen in this video) Parker’s biggest rival on the Black Warrior for many years. It is sad to see the level of commercial barge traffic dwindle to what it has become now versus how things were in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. W&GN and Parker had tows in constant motion filling the Black Warrior river from Birmingport on the Locust Fork, Gorgas (and Port Walker) on the Mulberry fork, to Mobile. I first started as a deckhand on that river, became a pilot/captain and then went to work shoreside for many years. The time portrayed in this film is certainly a snapshot of the good old days!

My hometown. I recognize almost everyone in this video. Good video👍

Really liked that

I used to work at Warrior Asphalt in Tuscaloosa. The Rhett is still in service to this day. She pushes tanker barges full of Asphalt now

I know this was an old video but people don’t talk like this in Tuscaloosa anymore! They all sound like northerners even the kids that are born here! I talk like these guys do!

What a fine video.....now I'm more than ever going to learn this tune, thanks.

I still work with Ben Mills
