Thank you for this, I love watching what we usually don’t get to see..the Paul R Tregurtha is my second fave ship, the James R Barker being first (it’s all about the horns)😊 I hope you weren’t too cold filming and you went to Grandma’s for something hot after! I was there in August (from TX) and the change is just humbling ☃️💨
You're very welcome and thanks for viewing! It was pretty cold but it was worth it! Love watching this type of action! Glad I could share with folks who appreciate it! 😊❤️
I just can't imagine how many times I saw Ryerson, Sykes, Big Joe and others while working at Inland Steel during my college years. It was always a treat. Working there had a large part in forming me as the engineer I am today. Great learning, great memories, and the first hand experience of seeing the worlds most expensive rat trap....priceless!
No the ice does not effect the hull but they do put bubbler hoses around the stern to prevent ice from forming around the propellers because ice will damage them
I posted a video 5 days ago called Tugboat Missouri sweeps dock for Indiana Harbor. This video will give you an idea how they do it. They will do right between the dock and ship and do this maneuver
IT WOULD BE SO KOOL TO BE ABLE TO CUT OF THE MAIN HOUSE OF OF THIS AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN HOUSE .. ON THE COSTAL LINE. SHIPED BY BARG.... AND KEEP THE NAME OF THE SHIP IT SAT UP ON....
YOU KNOW THEY ARE ALSO DOIGN IT TO BIG TUBS THE OLD ONES THEY ARE SO KOOL LOOKING... IT IS ALL BUILT MADE TO BET EVERY THING.. BEEN THOUGH HELL ON HIGH SEAS... I THINK MORE PEOPLE SHOULD DO THE SAME BUT IT IS NOW SAID THAT THEY ARE BEEN SCRAPED OVER SEAS IN 3RD WORLD AREAS. OF THIS WORLD @@julibell1138
What a treat. I have been watching them since I was 3 years old. I enjoy all of it. Even the ice crunching around the ships. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome and I appreciate you watching!
Wow, look at that ice. Im sure capt and crew looking forward to a well deserved winter rest. See you in March.❤
I love watching the tugs at work. Great video ❤
Thank you so much!
Great to see you I'm Joe... That's was awesome and fun watching the tugs break the ice for the p.r.t. so awesome and fun 😊😊😊
Hi Joe@ what a fun time! Great to see you! Love them tugs!

I saw the Tregurtha coming into Fraser from my work. Fascinating watching it!
The lines of that tug are extraordinary.
I wish they would bring back the Ryerson such a pretty boat
i agree
It is probably the prettiest ship along with the Sykes. I pray it has a positive future and we can again see arrivals and departures! departures.

Also fun to watch PRT back under the Blatnik bridge this morning.
I missed that but wanted to be at Fraser anyways!
I worked for 6 months at Québec port and i saw many big boats 😅its was greats😊
Good stuff. Thanks.
Thank you!
REALLY AWESOME !❤
Thank you so much!
I see the Ryerson. ❤
Delayed question. Will someone be on that ship. Or tie down go home weeks ? Lots of repairs?
I would assume since she's at the Shipyard she will need alil work but if not she will have a ship keeper for the Winter
What is the reason that certain ships overwinter in certain yards?
Depends what woek they need and whose the best and cheapest!
What is the name of the grey ship sitting there?
Manitoulin
Hi, does the freezing ice around the ship bend the hull?
No the ice does not effect the hull but they do put bubbler hoses around the stern to prevent ice from forming around the propellers because ice will damage them
I know nothing. 😂Was the function of the tugs to break up the ice for the ship?
Yes, they break it up and try and sweep it from the dock
What about the ice between side of boat and the dock? Do they somehow get rid of i

COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD-but your camera works sux--why would I want to watch this crap
Then don't watch it....pretty simple 🌞😊
