    Everything about this video is beautiful. The water, sky, ship, salute, and bagpipes. Glad you got it all. Perfection!

      OMG that's what I was thinking, When my kid was learning the trumpet I so wish we had a ship like this for him to practice. LOL

    This is one of my top ships to see in person. Almost got the opportunity the last time I was in Duluth, but I had to leave a few hours before it arrived, because the drive home is a minimum on 9 hours.

    I have sung this song in church,& I've been to Duluth twice,the first time,it took about 3 seconds to fall in love with it.What a cool,indescribable vibe it has.The recent passing of Gordon Lightfoot only adds to the poignancy.Thank you for this video.God bless.

    The fact you can hear the pipes over everything is insane. He's a good piper too, it's a difficult instrument to master! I bet his crew mates told him to bugger off to the deck with that lol

    My first thought was; "Good bye forever".
    Im not Irish, but Ive only heard that played at funerals. (On bagpipes, on t.v.)
    So I associate it that way. Sorry.
    I hope Im wrong and they come back, and that wasn,t an omen for that trip.😢,
