M/V American Heritage Towboat

ARTCO's American Heritage shot on the riverfront in between the rail bridge and I55 bridge in Memphis.
First video of the new Mavic 3. I've had a month hiatus from shooting and missed some really great traffic in the process.

Nice looking T/B. Took a ride on a couple of TB's during my area familiarizing ride from Tell City to Louisville during my break-in period after arriving at Coast Guard Ohio River Group in Owensboro Ky, 1983-86. Great times.

Always loved these Nashville Bridge Towboats, I remember seeing the Crimson Duke and Crimson Gem on the upper mississippi in 1993, great work and keep it coming.

I’ve shot 2 of the 3 sisters now. The stack set into the second deck is pretty unique, I love the way the first deck stairs are on this style.

You can always tell a St Louis Ship built boat,too.
The way they curve the lines like a piece of used soap...

@@Hold_My_Boat obrigada fico feliz

[@jallyson90]

what are those sticks in front of barges in water? We don't have this in our brazilian convoy. The largest convoy allowed in brazil is 25 barges with azimuthal propulsion

[@crawleyofficial1014]

They are called “sounders” they help the captain see how deep the water is under the barges, we tend to come across a lot of sandbars and dikes that can make us run a ground(crash).

[@pauldillinger2286]

Great video man. All i ask for is letting us know where rhe barge is and where there going.

[@Hold_My_Boat]

Not following you on that one sir. Appreciate the kind words!

[@ZHolifield]

Great video, keep up the good work!

[@Hold_My_Boat]

Thank you sir!

[@raybraud1568]

Barges are empty at the beginning, can tell by the draft marks. They are sitting high in the water.

[@AndrewJeffersonCotter]

Cool! I liked and subscribed

[@Hold_My_Boat]

Thanks!

[@doughesson]

Did you walk across the bridge to the park or drive through the gate?

[@Hold_My_Boat]

I typically part under the bridge when filming at new bridge or in between. This video was shot from 3 locations metal museum, that one, and the center lot up mud island.

[@marklaird5632]

Thats just a medium size tow for that M/V I brought 48lds S/B on her when they started coming south 6 long 8 wide

[@Hold_My_Boat]

I don’t build the tows sir just film them. Most of these are just for fun so it’s totally as my schedule allows.

[@antoniarondon1814]

Monstro grande d 10500
