- UPDATE:
--------------------------------
Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed to proper speeds and monitored by the US & Canadian Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
Speed limits have now been re-enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided.

SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
--------------------------------
Great Lakes Shipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways.
However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have engineered for. Previously large Taconite Ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation.
While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "Tidal Bore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore
Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium".
The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND:
--------------------------------
Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years).
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014
--------------------------------
Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species"

I’d like to take a moment to welcome all of those who have been recommended to view this 10 year old video for absolutely no reason today.

Until next time, algorithm buddies
I assume it's because I watch Drachinifels naval engineering and history.
Same. Check on yo homie
I remember watching this video 10 years ago. The algorithm chose today to bring it full circle.
Same here and now its back thx to TH-cam haha

"If the ships keep coming, something bad is gonna happen".
I can guarantee the ships are going to keep coming.
No, they're not. Locally and globally, petitions have been drawn up and signed, putting into action resolutions to ban these behemoths from the waterways where they cause billions in damages annually. Even the men and women who are made to operate these vessels have fought back against their greed driven shareholders and literally abandoned ship mid voyage. The incident in the Suez canal where a crosswind ran the container vessel aground is huge red flag that drew the neccessary attention to correct the issue and correct it quick.
@@ricaurandt6713 about as good as a fourth grade petition to ban fossil fuels. You think they’re gonna ban ships? The ships that carry everything you ever used in your life?
Just like those people that live next an airport and complain about airplanes….Ban Airplanes!
@@pilotelliott actually, my Republican fool, this video is quite old, and the problem was solved. The evil socialist communist liberal concepts of 'scientific study' and 'negotiation' were applied.
The speed of the ships was slowed by about 40% (from 8 knots to 5 knots), and a series of angled breakwaters were installed to further mitigate the issue.
Even the video creator mentions this in his updated video description.
@@ricaurandt6713 lol yea ban shipping. Smh how old are u? People would literally starve and go without basic stuff. I live in a river town and the shipping industry is part of life and really they keep society going. Fuck that rich guy and his boat. Dont build or buy a house on a major shipping route. Pretty easy. The canal was built to do exactly what he is complaining about. Its not for his stupid ass boat.
@@dimitrikemitsky no where in the video does he even mention the speed. The canal was literally built to take in the overflow of water when ships pass. What idiot builds a house that close?
So in theory, I could launch a raft from home, be washed out to sea, then be washed back home in a matter of seconds. Every kids dream!!
Right!!! Or a kayak. Be fun instant white water rafting that ends where you begin.
Never even finish your beer and in time for more...

For a 10 year old upload the quality is very good. Even nowadays we see worse.
Construction company: How many bridges do you want?
Town people: Yes.
Thank you, I laughed at the bridges then laughed again at your comment.
Probably personal property spanning the water. “This is my bridge, build yer own bridge if you want to get to your cottage!”
@@Xs395 Yeah based on how his car is parked facing the house, each bridge is probably a residential drive that just has to cross the canal.
Honestly living somewhere like that would make me so happy
It’s probably to cut down in traffic through your property (or whoever was unlucky enough to have the one and only bridge in their backyard). Just a guess. 🤷🏻♂️
This was 8 years ago, roughly. Guaranteed by now this guy is out there in a grass skirt with a Zulu spear, waving it frantically at passing cargo ships while screaming in high speed gibberish
Kind of wish I had a house out there like that. I would do that just to fuck with passing ships.
That's awesome
Wait you guys don't do that regularly? I don't think the navy likes when I do that to their submarine launches in the river

If you read the end of the description you'll actually see that many fish who used to breed there are now endangered because the waves screw with them so badly
Good way to empty your trash....
Ahh it must be time for my annual viewing of this video. Thanks TH-cam algorithm, it’s nice to see all of you again
Edit: Thanks to all y'all for 2k likes! It’s been an honor to be here with you
Same here.
Hey y'all !
I still remember the first time I saw this video.
Hello, I just joined in on the fun
No , kidding !! Same here
When Incat tested their first large fast catamaran ferry here in Hobart, Tasmania, it roared down the Derwent river out to sea at over forty knots. The resultant wash smashed into the moored boats at several yacht clubs and caused massive damage, as all the boats were lifted up and smashed into piers etc. Incat didn't try that again.
I didn't know that, thanks!
I recently moved to Dodges Ferry, you seem like the guy to ask whether Dodges Ferry began as a ferrying town?
@@kaeolandon-lane3429 No worries. Dodges Ferry was indeed the site of a ferry, run by a guy named Ralph Dodge, who ran the ferry service there in the 1820's.
@@Sean_Coyne Thanks mate!
Another tassie human here...
Launceston. Love hobart, Launceston has a shitty sewer river.
You’d think people building boats would know a thing or two about water displacement 🤦🏼♀️
Interesting. I would never have thought this kind of displacement could take place.
You can always hire some Somali pirates to hijack the ship
I’m dead laughing
Look at me , I am the captain now...
😂😂😂
It would be hilarious if Somalis turned up on the great lakes.
lmao
Holy shit thats some nice grass...
Buz4rd haha
gets watered ever time a ship comes by
its all fake
and that is why he has a problem with shoreline erosion ...
For real, I wish my grass was that pristine
So isn't there some kind of design that could potentially be made at the end of the river to reduce the amount of water being pulled out of it because like you said it's because of the tail of the ship. Why not a directional flow control for the river? Might cost less for them to put that in than replace the bridges and whatever unlucky buildings.
It’s not caused by the stern it happens because of the size of the ship, it displaces a lot of water
Would make sense. Some sorta lock that stops the water from moving in or out for 20mins.
A canal lock would work well
@@kretzschMusic And since they are all over the world and everybody knows about them, you might as well just call it a sluice like everyone else instead of doing the whole "look everyone I'm Dutch" cliché
I mean, they could have not built a neighborhood and artificial waterway off of an active shipping lane.
This is like those people who move out to farm country, and then complain that it smells like cow manure.
Holy shit you can literally see the water line easly drop more than 6", it's like a large toilet!
I live in a tidal river my boot goes up and down about 3-4 meter some days the current is maby 5 kmh or sometimes more

The River Thames in London goes up and down 20 feet because of the tides, twice a day. I have tried suing the moon but got nowhere.
Total different ball game here
@mr suntan, wow you're super intelligent! I didnt know crowd noise eroded the riverbank at an accelerated rate...have to keep that in mind. Also didnt know you could sue the clouds...these fucking hurricanes down here in Florida are gonna be hearing from my lawyer. Thank you for your words of wisdom!!!
Completely different, why conflate the two. Thames has been doing that probably since its existence. These boats are getting bigger (more displacement) and were speeding. They also displace water much more quickly than a tide, as you saw the tide went in and out within 2 mins! 2 mins versus about 12 hours???!!! Why do people make such dumb comments???
@@skullsaintdead .. Oh, yeah. Those ships were just zipping by, towing water skiers (waving & smiling) behind them. Get real. The guy described ships going 3 to 5 mph over the speed limit (a guesstimate, likely exaggerated), hardly a major crime wave.
@@dwightstewart7181 Another one. You clearly have no understanding of whats going on. I have to explain everything to you people like you are children. If you don't understand something, don't automatically disagree as an attempt to save face. Learn what's going on! Look the sodding thing up! That difference in speed is significant when discussing ships and perspective - 8 knots limit and someone going 3 to 5 knots over is between 37.5 - 62.5% increase. So, for a highway it'd be top speed of 60km/hr when someone is doing 82.5 - 97.5km/hr and highways don't tend to give way & collapse when people speed, though obviously there is more wear & tear on the roads. The greivance here was significant enough for the authorities to reenforce the speed limits & the issue has subsided. Its not difficult, educate yourselves!
I was waiting to see the canal drain allll the way down.
Then scoop up all the perch & walleye.
Cargo Cult waits forever.
I was half expecting the middle of the bridge to give and him to fall in
10 years is the perfect age for a video to be recommended by TH-cam, kind of like aged wine and a Sommelier.
I fear more for the people that choose to build those houses 10’ from and 1’ above the normal water line. A flood and they’re toast.
very soggy toast
Not to mention their in the middle of nowhere with vast lands and decide to build the houses and roads close together like a dilapidated artificial suburban craphole. People are moronic money wasters.
Yeah. I fear for them too ... for their sanity.
You fear for them. I just think of Darwinism.
If ur willing to spend extra 100k’s for waterfront and it’s water level I don’t feel bad for them when there investment gets destroyed 😭
I don't mean to make light of your damage assessment, but from a land lover's perspective...that is so strange, and yet sooooo cool to watch! Thanks for posting the video!
Glad to share. Thanks for watching!
Boats Boats Boats! Did the breeding ground ever recovered?
thanks a lot dick head , there goes my amazon 2 day delivery
Nopainnogain Hurts really is much slower then that, as you can see by watching they have been here for at least 20 years and boats have been traveling up and down for about 75, and I see no huge damage done by it, and to top it off you moved there knowing this would happen, so not sure what the point of this is, if it's to show errosuin then show it because this video showed no damage caused by this, those are not new homes and the vegetation has been growing for some years and they have old growth trees, so all this together with no damage means your kinda barking for nothing there fella
read the story at the top explaining the new situation.
Bright side is it keeps the water from becoming a stagnant pond-like canal & the sound of the waves is beautiful. Some good landscaping rock piles lining the entire edge of the canal might help with erosion, but I’d consider those waves otherwise more welcoming than a nuisance in terms of property value.
It is going to happen no matter what unless you build a lock at each end of the canal. Even then, it will damage the lock eventually too. It is going to happen and there really is no way to stop it long term. Think of it as getting your canal dredged of silt constantly and never having to worry about it silting in. Live life and find the silver lining to any situation.
The power of TH-cam. Here I am, at the bus stop in Germany, watching this video. Fantastic
Personally I think that’s cool as hell and I would go sit outside with a beer every day and watch it
Yep. The guy in the video kept complaining about damage. I saw no damage at all myself.
A beer and a joint 😆 rod and reel.
Leopoldo Villa Jr. that’s a good point,wonder what the fish do do
drServitis the damage is when that water rushing back in the opposite direction will begin to erode the banks and before you know it( maybe in a few decades) but your ass will walk out if your back door n fall in that sumbitch. Or just maybe the bridge you choose to sit on, suddenly collapses under you.
Not just watch it but rent the Eros surfers and then watch them Dodge the pilings
Hogwash...that 1000 footer will NOT fit under that bridge
Dumb ass the boat passes by causing the current. He did not at any point say it went under the bridge
That reply gave me cancer.

I got so happy cause he said it’ll drain to the bottom then it drained like a foot maybe. My heart sank lmao.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
You are a legend ,seriously somebody needed to put such a video to wake them ,very well made video
The speed limit has been enforced for many years by U.S. and Canadian coast guard vessel traffic controllers. By checkpoints and more recently GPS.
Yeah but don't mind the uneducated fellow that has to tell everyone it has nothing to do with displacement. Its the props sucking the water from in front bathe ship and pushing it behind the ship, not the ship displacing water. Displacement will only cause a rise in water
@@justindamirgian1088 Yea it didn't make sense to me.
Last I checked the USCG regulations there was no speed limits anywhere. Just the slowest safe speed possible. Sometimes that can be 10 knots depending on wind speeds and currents.
Wow this is an incredible visualization of the displacement caused by big ships. Super fascinating, thanks for sharing!
"There's a 1000 footer going by"

Johnny Dominguez 1,013 feet to be exact: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Paul_R._Tregurtha
First, there is not an 8 knot limit there. The regulations have remained at 10.5 knots. Second, nobody is going up that river at 13 knots since maybe the Cliffs Victory in the 1970s (which pulled a wake through Sans Souci and is the reason there is a speed restriction in the first place).
Scott S 8 knot Upriver / Land Relative. 10.5 knots minus the current = relativistic travel of 8 knot +/- 1 knot. We use this measurement when calculating ship speeds from a static vantage point. Unless you are saying it is 10.5 knot land-relative, which would be about 12 knot water relative given the speed of the current in that part.
Scott S oh - since you are the first actual industry person to comment (thank you) -- you may find it interesting that one Pilot stated that the ships logged traveling at a higher rate of speed than allowed were all using retrofitted "Sperry Marine Visionmaster" navigation systems.
I am guessing his thought is that there may have been a bug in how these system calibrated their overall velocity, which was leading to incorrect rates of travel.
I am unsure on the validity of that premise... as I don't know how common Sperry Marine products are in domestic vessels... but it'd be interesting if that was the true cause.

Unrelated to topic, this video was recommended, I clicked out of curiosity and instantly felt nostalgic. I haven't been to my home in decades but recognized the scenery near the Great Lakes. 😭
You wanted to live on the water. Shiposaurus says "here ya go."
They HAVE lived on the water for years until ships started speeding. READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION, STUPID.
Maloy7800 eat shit, fuck the poor. Trump 2020
My thoughts exactly. How long they been shipping through there? And you wanted to live there. Obviously it's been modified around the area so....
Maloy7800 correction the house itself has been there for years.. those ships were passing through before he moved there..and have been for many years.
joynthis I wonder if they have beer on the sun?
"this canal back here will drain ALL the way down" Canal drains about a foot down.
oldUmanUshea If you heard that you should have also heard him say that the ship going by wasn't as bad as usual.
Xavier Sequeira He says 1000 footers do it and that is a 1000 footer passing by. why film a "gentle" one then?
Because go fuck yourself.
oldUmanUshea how was he supposed to know this would be a gentle one. He hit record before the canal started to drain. Why would he stop? It still got the point across. He'd have to stop recording and wait for another one.
Dont listen to these a-holes. The uploader does have the responsibility to upload a good film. He doesn't have to re-do the monologue each time -- he can just record several of these and then play the video of the good one over him talking in this one.This is like you're doing a magic trick or stunt and you upload a failed attempt. You don't do it.
I remember watching this 10 years ago when it first went viral. Time flies.
Man I'd love to live there. You're so blessed.
Wow! That's crazy! That ship was like 1/4 mile away and it did that.
Reminds me of people that move by a highway and THEN demand a noise barrier. :/
did you read the description? There a houses bult in 1850 and is still owned by the family...
"
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood."
@@kerstas10 now honestly how many of those homes from 1850 are still standing do ya think???id say maybe a couple.and remember what homes were even like back thena couple of rooms.some may have been lucky enough and rich enough to have 2 level.just common sense.think about it
Most houses were there before the highway.
@@deannederhoff If you had common sense you would have realised his point was that people have lived there since before cargo ships existed you limp fucking noodle.
Saw this happen in Venice when cruise ships were still allowed inside the city. Inner canals started rushing like mountain streams. Couldn't believe my eyes. Imagine the damage to underwater structures holding the city up
I’m from South Asia and living in the Middle East and the TH-cam algorithm decided its a good time for me to see this 10 years later. Well, here I am...
That house across from you is actually really close to the water
Reminds me of the news stories about people that build a new home near an airport, then they complain about the noise.
tbirdracefan In the description...they are going twice the allowed speed limit and no longer beong enforced. If planes suddenly started coming in half as low after someone built their home, they'd have some grounds to complain, too.
tbirdracefan point being , lol ; right it's their own fault for buying that property. don't complain about it when you knew of it ! But here's the thing I don't understand . I'm sure theirs a solution to this like a floodgate. or something !
...half as high! ;-)
$50 bet "ThisAccountisNeverUsed " has no friends
Patrick - You are correct, I did not read the description.
I know it sucks to have property damage, but as a landlocked lover of large ships, I'm so envious of someone living right there, where you get to watch the ships come and go, and have small boat access right in your backyard!
TH-cam algorithm gives me this 10 year old video. It was fascinating. I do not understand how the ship's displacement caused that however.
Big ship push water up like when u sit in bath= water being pushed to shore
Bro... you get to watch lakers go by. Don’t complain, ask for salutes!
Charge admission to your water park. I noticed your neighbors had piling, good move.
If you want to see this area's location today, paste these coordinates into google maps. 42° 33' 14.0587" N, 82° 35' 23.96" W
The video shows that the land on the other side of the bridge is water-level. Now, it's completely underwater.
check again its not underwater
@@timverrecchia1654 sry, I meant the small patch of land in between the 2 bridges
1:39 left side
That seems like it's a real cool and unique area.
And the TH-cam algorithm brought me to another gem!
You live in a beautiful area and we all feel real bad about that.
Looks like a perfect spot for a flood plain in fairness.
Beautiful!? Thousands foot cargo ships outside your front door, deadly canal out back?Imagine if a kid or a pet fell in there real beautiful
@@billlee1724 don't let irrational fear blind you to the beauty of life
"all my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away"
Just like starving kids in Africa don't make my debt any less stressful to me
@@billlee1724 stfu
This is a very good camera quality for something from 2011
The way he talks about this makes me think that it happens everyday
It was probably happening multiple times per day.
Makes you feel nothing for the people who suffer earthquakes etc when you see destruction like this eh? I think the grass might even have gotten wet...
Why do have to turn this into a victim contest? Youre probably an sjw leftist, right? So by your logic, nobody should complain about anything unless they have it the worst in the world, right? Fuck outa here.
Steve Inczedi
Ouch....
😎👍😂😂😂
My god you don't like it, don't move there. If you moved to the desert you would cry about the sun. Stupid people, you can only control you. You don't like it move
Oh man, I saw this video like a year ago and I was still thinking about it. And this damn TH-cam algorithm brings me back there. The best thing happened today ^^
Citizens and property owners: "You're destroying my land with zero regard to mine or my future generations well being"
Evergreen (And every other shipping company in some regard) : "I literally can not express to you in words how much I do not care. Here, have some of these waves. Hope you dont have a basement."
Glad this issue was dealt with
