I work at the terminal next to where you recorded the "Luna" turning around and like to watch the maneuvers of the ships arriving or departing when I have time. "Ever Forever" is an amusing name but the best Evergreen name I've seen was the "Ever Dainty". A 53,000 ton ship is anything but dainty.
Well done Robert. I'll be watching for your channel to grow pretty quickly. As an old Gulf Coaster now retired in Wyoming (of all places), channels like yours have become my link to the sea. You can't know how much you're appreciated. Thank You.
Great Work, Robert! Far too many don't care about The Harbor and do not understand how so many Good Folks work so hard to keep us supplied with so many things we all take for granted. ... and even at 1000X speed to most it is like watching Paint Dry. I am not one of those... I understand just how Delicate a Dance the Tug Master's Job is, and how the Harbor Pilot must direct not only the Tugs, but also make 'Suggestions' to the Captain of these behemoths so Life and Property is Preserved. It looks like Slow and Easy work... ... until something breaks... ... and then it takes Nerves of Steel to keep everything under Control. Bruno Biava ⚓
Thanks for sharing Bruno, yes it's all about the hard working and skillful people. I may have an opportunity to share some of these hardworking people closeup in action
@@extraordinarymoments Robert, I hope that opportunity occurs. I was Blessed early in my life to have witnessed much in Port of Los Angeles... so much that will forever be my Spiritual Home. Thanks to you, and others like you...as well as the folks that operate the live webcam, I can at least see 'Heaven' even if I can't be there. It's that Important to me...in addition to the work of Everyone that has devoted to it's Operation of which I am still in awe of... I still feel a need to Give Thanks for the Precious Glances of 'Heaven' I see here.⚓ Amen.
@@brunobiava4833 I have good memories as a kid eating fish and chips on the former San Francisco ferry boat "Sierra Nevada" and looking across the water at the restaurant "Princess Louise," a former Canadian Pacific Railway passenger steamer. I photographed her sinking off Point Fermin in 1990. An article I wrote: www.lawesterners.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/187-SPRING-1992.pdf
@@extraordinarymoments ... I, too, just vaguely recall the Princess Louise...may have only seen Her once from the waters moored... can't recall the Slip or Pier, but I would like to think it was on the Terminal Island side of the Harbor. Must have been very young, then... just very dim memory of possibly going aboard while she was Berthed... lighting as though Her Crew might have Dressed Ship for a late Dinner Party. Tried to use the Link suggestion...shown not to be Secure. It was so unfortunate a Loss, my recollection was that Princess Louise was to be used for First Class Excursions to Avalon, Catalina and the other Channel Islands... ...am I correct?⚓
@@brunobiava4833 yes mostly at Terminal Island, but also under the bridge on the mainland side where the Catalina Express now departs. In my younger days the seaplanes flew out of there to Catalina, now that was an "E-ticket ride" I enjoyed
Awesome video and photos! Just found it when searching for LA port information. Any tips would be most appreciated on the best places to view the arrivals and departures. I'm hoping to visit soon to photograph ships there.
Great to hear and thank you. While the Port of Los Angeles "Ports of Call" is fenced off during construction, two good locations are as follows. For a view of ships coming through the breakwater and up the Main Channel there's a small pier next to Warehouse No. 1. Another good place to view Evergreen ships is in between the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and Fireboat facility.
Very cool video of day-to-day activities at the Port of L.A.! Lot of stuff going on there 24/7. If you're down there, should hit up Busy Bee Market at 24th & Walker in San Pedro for a killer good sandwich, used to hit them up whenever I was in the area servicing LADWP's diesel pumps.
Thanks Mark! I always see something new at the port, I enjoy documenting for others to enjoy. I will check out the Busy Bee Market, I have some upcoming dives out of 22nd landing in the near future. I dove Santa Monica Bay for lobster yesterday, have Donna show you the haul
Great video. Thank you and Merry Christmas. One criticism, though... it would be great if you could lessen the background music which I personally believe is not really needed. The photography speaks for itself.
Blockages in intermodal freight are intriguing to my mind, wondering if the shipping weaknesses are in road capacities, rail freight movement or inadequate capacities of ports. Also the questions should be pointed at the effects of COVID. When manufacturing demands shifted from the States to Asian countries, were the transporters ready for the huge flood of containers both full and empty. Though I have the book World Class Manufacturing by John Schonenberger, I’ve only used it for reference. Now I want it on the top of my books stack to read clear through.
I need to correct the author name of the book to Richard Schonberg "World Class Manufacturing". I got it out of my library again to go cover-to-cover this time. I thrive on solving where there is no end in sight.
I'm not sure about Evergreen, but certainly there are container/cargo ship passenger travel that's available. I suggest you contact Evergreen directly, let us know if you hear back.
America is in trouble, All our eggs are in one basket, LA Ports, if something ever happens to it, america will suffer. We need to diversify NOW or suffer we will.

That's awesome Paul, the live web is cool but in person is the best !! I should check out the Evergreen fleet list of names, could be entertaining
Paul, do they take a few pax ?

That ship looks massive at 8000 TEU's but I read somewhere that there are Evergreen Line ships up to 24,000 TEU! Amazing! They're too big to fit here
Yes, EVER ACE has a 23992 TEU, would love to film that ship's arrival
8K teu is almost one third of the largest ships that call in San Pedro and Long Beach.
@@grooviefan Thanks Jeff for the info

thank you, lower audio or less music? Merry Christmas
@@extraordinarymoments For me, less music would be great, however, I am aware that not everyone may feel this way. Perhaps I am just too sensitive. :)
Yes the music was too loud.
@@shermananderson700 good to know

How long was it’s wait before berthing?
I believe not long, AIS show it coming north from San Diego
Do these ships take a few passengers ?
