Northern Elevations
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2012
Elevating your view of Northern Ontario with a new video every other week! Using my drones, I’ll share with you ships and sights from my travels. Based out of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. Let me know what/where you'd like to see next!
Main equipment:
- DJI Mavic 3 Classic for most shots (starting May 2024)
- DJI Mini 3 for areas the Maciv 3 Classic can't fly
- DJI Avata 2 for close-ups + dynamic shots
- DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for handheld shots + timelapses
- DJI Action 4 for underwater + riskier shots
If you'd like my drone services or to inquire about licensing footage, shoot me an email. Unfortunately due to time and equipment costs I will require payment (except for certain non-profits/charities which I may be willing to do for free).

John G Munson Great Lakes Freighter - full drone flight
The John G Munson is a Great Lakes freighter hauling ore and other cargo since 1952. It shares many characteristics with its sister ships such as the Arthur M Anderson and Philip R Clarke which are both still actively sailing the lakes, as well as the Cason J Callaway which is in long term layup. These chips are of the “AAA” classification of boats. The Munson was built with a self unloaded, and for another company so while it isn’t technically a “AAA” class boat, it is often included in the group.
This video is an unedited drone flight I took on the St Mary’s River. Please let me know if you’d like more videos like this, or you prefer my standard 3-ish minute highly edited videos.

Stewart J Cort at the Soo Locks with guest star: Ojibway
มุมมอง 89321 วันที่ผ่านมา
Stewart J Cort is the first Footer on the Great Lakes! This freighter was originally built as a 182' long ship with no room for cargo earning her the nickname "Stubby", but she sailed (under her own power) to the Great Lakes where she was cut in half, and acquired a 818' cargo section where she holds her up to 58,000 tons of cargo. I caught up with the Cort at the Soo Locks, where the supply sh...
SS Alpena: The oldest freighter on the lakes
มุมมอง 2.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The SS Alpena is the oldest active freighter on the Great Lakes, built in 1942 - she was launched just a few months before the Lee A Tregurtha. I caught up with her as she was gliding around Johnson Point on the St Mary's River upbound towards Duluth, and again on her return trip just after the Soo Locks. When launched under the name Leon Fraser, she had 4 other AA-class shipmates, but the rest...
50th Upload Special: behind the scenes with the American Century
มุมมอง 62หลายเดือนก่อน
In my 50th upload, I take you behind the scenes, showing you my video-making process and ending with a final drone video of the American Century. Preparation: I check Marine Traffic (free, can pay for more details) to see which ships are coming/in the area, then I'll check UAV Forecast (free, but a subscription is very helpful for longer forecasts) to see a very precise weather forecast and mak...
Northern Ontario Fall Colours - Algoma district 2024
มุมมอง 1192 หลายเดือนก่อน
Beautiful fall colours are on full display in Sault Ste Marie! This drone video takes you to Chippewa Falls, Pike's Peek (overlooking the West end of Sault Ste Marie), and the Searchmount train bridge as well as along Highway 17 (the Trans Canada highway). See the reds, yellows, and greens of the trees from the skies with my DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone, supplemented with my DJI Osmo Action 4 came...
Fall Island Colours in Northern Ontario, 2024
มุมมอง 5562 หลายเดือนก่อน
St Joseph Island has naturally beautiful fall colours. In this cinematic video, I used my drone to capture different locations around the Northern half of the Island (one of these trips I'll make it down to Whiskey Bay!). There's plenty of footage of driving through trees turning colours, and when I got to Sailors Encampment I was surprised to find the SS Alpena, the oldest active freighter on ...
Fall 2024 Boat Nerds Tour - in and around the Soo Locks!
มุมมอง 1932 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Original Soo Locks Boat Tours hosted the Boat Nerds Fall 2024 tour on October 4, 2024. This special cruise was a blast, thanks to the Interlake Steamship Company! So many Boat Nerds were onboard, and I was lucky enough to join them. The drone clips (first 2 shots and the last one) were taken previously - all other shots were from onboard the Holiday tour boat as we locked through, saw the S...
One of CSL's older ships with a bulky bow
มุมมอง 5773 หลายเดือนก่อน
Canada Steamship Lines has a long and storied past - but a lot of their fleet is pretty new. I caught up with the Atlantic Huron - a vessel built in 1984 still hauling cargo on the Great Lakes and St Lawrence. The Atlantic Huron has a unique looking bow section with its sharp angles, very different to other Great Lakes freighters and even unsimilar with salties. The CSL Atlantic Huron is mostly...
Early Fall Colors 2024 in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario
มุมมอง 2023 หลายเดือนก่อน
Check out this nature drone footage: featuring fall colours! Parks are saying the fall colors are 30% changed, so its still early but the weather was nice and I was off work so I got the drone up in the air and put this little video together. I'm hoping to make it out next week as well, but enjoy this little teaser! Shots were taken along Higway 17, just North of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canad...

มุมมอง 7803 หลายเดือนก่อน
The M/V Manitoulin (merchant vessel) is a modern Great Lakes Freighter, named after Manitoulin Island which is the largest freshwater island in the world. Manitoulin Island is in Ontario, at the Northern end of Lake Huron. Rand Logistics owns multiple companies, including Lower Lakes Towing which owns the M/V Manitoulin, which is a Canadian flagged vessel. It's assembly in 2015 paired an existi...
CSL St Laurent: a Great Lakes freighter with a beautiful mural!
มุมมอง 5393 หลายเดือนก่อน
Canada Steamship Lines (CSL) St-Laurent has a beautiful Canadian Goose mural they call "The Seakeeper". Its certainly a looker! In this video I delve a little bit into the history of the CSL company - I had no idea they've had owners such as Paul Martin (before he was Prime Minister of Canada) and Sir James Dunn who owned Algoma Steel - Sault Ste Marie's largest employer (and its been around si...
The story of Lee A Tregurtha: an 82 year old ship on the Great Lakes
มุมมอง 8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Lee A. Tregurtha might be the most interesting Great Lakes freighter! Starting out in 1942 as a wartime oil tanker, she saw Japan surrender World War 2, and sailed the world before being converted in to a bulk freighter. She's been sailing for 82 years, and now steadily hauls bulk cargo (such as taconite, iron ore, wheat and salt. A few facts that didn't make it into the video: - She was ti...
CSL Thunder Bay - a modern Great Lakes freighter (launched 2013)
มุมมอง 3064 หลายเดือนก่อน
Canada Steamship Line (CSL)'s Thunder Bay vessel is a modern Great Lakes freighter. As a Trillium class vessel launched in 2013, she carries a number of new technologies and designs to make her safer, more economical, and more environmentally friendly than older ships. Named after the Ontario city of Thunder Bay, this vessel can carry nearly 25,000 gross tones of cargo combined in its 5 cargo h...
Great Lakes Footer: Burns Harbor
มุมมอง 1354 หลายเดือนก่อน
Burns Harbor is one of the great Great Lakes freighter footers (say that ten times fast!) - there are only 13 ships 1000ft long, and this is one of them! originally built in 1980 for Bethlehem Steel, named after one of their steel mills in (you guessed it) Burns Harbor. American Steamship Company acquired her in 2005 and kept the same name. She sailed through the St Mary's River on July 29, 202...
Edwin H Gott Great Lakes Freighter
มุมมอง 2895 หลายเดือนก่อน
The 1004ft long Edwin H Gott is a staple Great Lakes Freighter, seen here just downstream of the Soo Locks. Gott is in a 3-way tie for second longest freighter on the Lakes! I've had a crazy busy July, I'm hoping to keep a more steady upload schedule starting in September!
