I know the focus is on the bulk carrier but that vertical lift is a great piece of design. It’s nice to see one working as my local bridge has been clamped shut and will never work again.
If you like these old boats like I do, that thumb nail would make a dandy picture to frame and hang on the wall. She's going to work and cutting the waves, beautiful.
@PaulScinocca It looks like Northeast wind, Paul, so they probably bounced around a little, unless they took the Northern trek to the Soo. I'd bet the Captain had that figured out before they left the dock. Happy Halloween, Paul!🎃🍺
the "bull nose" is less efficient, but gives the ship more cargo hauling space. The inefficiency is offset by the profit on the larger cargo capacity, I hear.
Wow, this really captures it, classic style ship, fully loaded, rough seas, great view, thanks
WOW another rough and high canal. the Clarke was slicing through the waves. Thanks Paul
Yes it was a bit choppy that day!

It sure is! Check out this up close "tour" of the workings of the bridge th-cam.com/video/l9JRUYM_CiI/w-d-xo.html
@@PaulScinoccaThanks for that, I shall check this out 👍
She's a beauty, plowing through the waves of the canal! I can't think of anything more beautiful than a laker heading out onto the lake. Thanks, Paul.
I agree, the lakers are quite beautiful!

Thanks!
Look at the currant running through the bridge area😮
Formidable current pushing into the channel. Beautiful images. Thank you. Godspeed ship and crew!
Great windy departure of the Philip R Clarke. Definitely must of been a bad hair day...⚓📣🌬
Had to cinch the ball cap a little tighter to my head on this one!
Thanks. Winter is coming. Impressed with the stability in those waves.
It's hard to beat a classic!!! Nice work Paul 👏🏼
Outbound & DOWN, through the rollers......Awesome---as always, Sir !
Safe trip.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Great shot with those turbulent waves!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great video with big waves!!
Thanks! It was a bit choppy that day.
@@PaulScinocca Yes, all shipspotters love that! Paul.🤩
Might be a bumpy ride across to the Soo tonight. Safe trip, Clarke!
I wonder if they found larger swells further into the lake.

Thanks...Awesome.
You're Welcome!
Great Video
Those big old waves bouncing along the free board look like they're having a good time.
LOL, it sure does.
Wow she's heavy and sitting low.!!
Loaded to the line for sure!
Was there a major reason they quit with the V bow and went to the snub nose bow on the new boats? Fuel efficiency, cargo space or what?
I’ve wondered the same thing.

Question: What is the duration of the bridge being elevated?
135'
Do these bulkers pitch and roll in open water? They seem to glide without any such movement in the approach.
The container ship that took out the bridge was piloted by a captain that owned a Mustang…this Captain owns a Toyota…🤣🤣.
Dramamine and ginger ale onboard, enjoy the ride ! 😂
It's a bit bumpy out there!
Dramatic footage. Could have sworn I felt some spray on my face🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
LOL!! Thanks Greg.
