The American Century is a big beautiful behemoth. Love watching her. Thanks, Paul!
Boy! The American Century is coming in like she's late to a party, or is going to miss her load if she isn't in the slip in time. A beautiful video of a "footer" making waves in the canal. Thanks for sharing your catch, Paul.
A nice ship and a great salute
It sure is!
Very nicely captured.
Eastbound and down; loaded-up and truckin!
In 1995 and I was on vacation in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I remember seeing the Columbia Star 🌟, and sailing in Oglebay/Norton Company Colors. She's waiting to lock Upbound and go through the Poe Lock. I took a picture 📸 📷 of the Columbia Star 🌟. I am glad that she's still sailing in American Steamship Company Colors and renamed the American Century. And to this very day and I still have the picture of the Columbia Star 🌟 in Oglebay/Norton Company Colors. Just, remember that her SALUTES 🫡 ARE VERY LOUD AND CLEAR SALUTES 🫡. 4:02
Awesome, I have pictures of them in the Twin Ports as well from back then!
Coming in hot 🔥 piloting that ship like he stole it ! Love the stern shot as she's coming around to port. Nice work Paul 👏🏼
Absolutely came in with authority!
The American Century definitely has one of the loudest if not the loudest salute on the Great Lakes. They have the volume turned up to 11...🔊📣⚓
They definitely have a loud one for sure!
Agree!
Geez are the cops chasing it? Well we got that A+ horn so it's all good.
🤣 maybe the Coasties were?
