⚓️Most Impressive Ship 2023? Ship 'Maxima' departs Duluth, MN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- The 452 foot ship Maxima from the Netherlands is an incredibly sleek and modern looking vessel! This has to be the most amazing/impressive ship to stop in Duluth this year for sure. The design reminds me of a modern version of an old school great lakes freighter. Take at look how beautiful the coloring is on the entire vessel. It's very new too! Built in 2021. What a stunning ship!
More information about the ship Maxima: www.wagenborg....

This ship is an excellent exercise in parsimony and efficiency. It was built at Groningen, inside the sea dikes, and is the maximum size that would fit through the canals and locks to get to the ocean. Helm and crew are up front, efficiently using the point end, and the holds are two plumb, straight, and level "boxes." To me, it looks like a "Bolger Box," small craft designs that are simple and remarkable capable. Engine of only 4,000 horsepower is in the stern where it occupies the space where the hull rises, and there is a sleek box keel for the ducted propeller. It's double hulled and is rated for ice conditions. The bow is a modified X-bow that rises to the waves instead of ramming into them. Ballast water goes into the double hull and not the cargo hold. It was built in parts and then assembled in a very efficient construction process. Note that it was built in the Netherlands and is registered there, not operating under some flag of convenience. I think it is a truly marvelous design. Start with a clean sheet of paper, and a design like this could be adapted as a sail auxiliary.
What an A+ comment! Well thought out and full of information! I’m pinning this to the top for others to enjoy! Please come back again friend. I post a ship video almost everyday. 👍⛴️👋
This is one of my new favorite channels on YT now. Never know what you are gonna learn around this place.
@ginantonicts5721 what an awesome comment to receive. It’s only about a month and a half until I’m going to get out there live and showing you what’s going on with the ships when they start to move my friend. I look forward to chatting with you moving forward.
You speak parsimony and efficiency. How parsimonious? Its hard to imagine a ship of these duties being built frugally. Housing the crew up front seems smart and cost conscious. Why hasn't that always been done instead of adding another super structure?
@knowsmebyname that’s very nice of you to say. I just have such a fun time out there learning about the ships and talking about them.
The Dutch build insanely powerful and well engineered ships. It makes perfect sense seeing their vessels in the Great Lakes. What a visual treat.
Sure is sharp looking
@knowsmebyname it’s definitely a beautiful boat for sure. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to watch the video and leave a comment. Take a look at this link. This is my favorite ship video of the past season. There was tons of sea smoke on Lake Superior. It was unbelievably cold too! th-cam.com/video/mKzamgCa6zw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b9s-KKJx4XzauwOV (th-cam.com/video/mKzamgCa6zw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b9s-KKJx4XzauwOV)
@@vibewithmike that was awesome.
@knowsmebyname I’m glad you enjoyed
Another beautiful ship from that beautiful country🤗
Dolly, I hope it makes many trips back
So sleek! No huge ladders to climb to the pilot house! (Not a fan of heights). Love the whole design. Blessings to all who board her. Very cool.
This modern design really has me impressed
I really love this channel Mike. So nice to see all the beautiful views of Duluth and the lake and the ships. Thank you for these videos.
Rose, I really appreciate your comment. What a nice thing to say. Bless you!👍⛴️
What a beautiful young lady, and a salty, to boot! She glides so gracefully through the canal and out into the lake. Safe journey back home. ❤🎉
This is one of the most beautiful ships out there. Did you see the video from today? th-cam.com/video/vQdMUOjEnY0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_CZqHPfgIZG4MXws
Hi Mike, thank you for your wonderful and educating video of this beautiful vessel 😃 our son is currently sailing on the Edenborg (also a Wagenborg vessel) as a cadet on his first internship for 6 months (until january 2024). The Edenborg arrived at Duluth on august 12 th and left on august 16 th for Spain, La Coruna.
Looking on the live camera's we spotted our son on deck as the vessel left the harbor. He and we ourselves enjoyed the enthousiasm of all the people waving the captain and crew goodbye from the Duluth pier.
I love your channel en will certainly visit it from now !
Have a nice day! Greetings from Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Wenny! Thank you so much for the wonderful. I have something very exciting to tell you. I have a video that will be posted in the next week of your son’s vessel when it was loading in Duluth. I recorded that video from my boat on the water right next to his ship a few days before it departed. I think you’ll find it very interesting. I really respect your son a lot for choosing a career on the sea! He most definitely will have amazing stories. Does the crew ever get to come off the ship to go into Duluth or do they have to stay on there when docked? Please subscribe to the channel and come back, I would love to chat with you more! All the best to you my friend.🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱👍👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Hello Mike, to see a video of the loading of the Edenborg will be absolutely great! We are looking forward to that one 😃 yes our son did get a (very) short shore leave in Duluth when docked. Of course I subscribed to your amazing channel! Till next time on the chat 😊
@wennyruijten8773 tell your son to reach out to me the next time he’s in Duluth. I have an email address on my TH-cam account. It would be nice to take him to lunch. Have a wonderful day Wenny!
Hi Mike, thank you so much you for your kind invitation to take our son for lunch! We will pass the message to him. Have a lovely day over there in Duluth 😊
@wennyruijten8773 keep your eye out for the video. It will be at the very start of next week.
Her lines are so clean and modern, she seems small and toy-like until you see one of her crew. Glad she got the full salute from the Lift Bridge on her outbound meeting! Amazing ship - I hope we see more of her kind. Blessings & Joy to her Captain & crew wherever they are currently! 😊💜
This is seriously one of the most beautiful ships in the world I believe. I love this ship. It looks cool. I even love the really bright red.
Modern, sleek, stylish. What a beautiful ship. Love to see her tied up along side the Munson. Classics, both of them.
Definitely a cool looking ship and I wish it would come to Duluth again
Thanks for catching this ship for sure! Indeed she's a futuristic beauty! I will definitely be watching for her now on. 🌈Safe travels to them.
Joan, what a great description, futuristic, exactly, have a wonderful Friday night!
Very cool 😎 design. Sleek and that bow looks sharp. Hope she comes back again on the Great Lakes.
I hope this ship comes back very soon
Thank you so much Mike!!! Beautiful ship!!! Happy weekend! ❤
Pam, makes me very happy hearing that you enjoyed this video
Great capture on this good looking vessel Mike. Love the bright colors of the ship and the sky in this video.
Corey, how’s it going! The weekend is finally here.
What a beauty! Thanks for your coverage. Love following your stories.
Thank you very much Joel, have a great Friday
What a beauty Mike, Thank you so much for sharing this. Your videos and info are wonderful. Thanks
Mark, thank you so much my friend. I hope you’re having a wonderful Friday night.
An absolute beauty. This one was special. Thank you for showing off so many amazing boats and Duluth
Thanks Stuart, all of us boat friends have a lot of fun with these ships. ⛴️⛴️⛴️
Deze boot is gebouwd bij niestern Delfzijl in Holland 👍
bedankt mijn Vriend!
Thanks, Mike, what a treat!
Looks like a futuristic "what if" of a classic forward pilothouse laker. I like it!
I hope they keeping making this style! Did you see this cruise ship video? th-cam.com/video/BG72SlO7Z4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DFKdZQJn2JouRofD
That Lady sure shows her colors very well. Thanks again Mike for your outstanding professional work for us.
Brand new, 2021
Wow! I'm a novice but thought forward pilot houses were a thing of the past. Great catch!
It’s one of the most beautiful ships out there. Did you see this video? th-cam.com/video/cQ3gCuHfg2c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HNNLukvPp5eLOO1B
Wow, what a beautiful ship! Thanks Mike! Have a lovely weekend! 🤗
Happy Saturday Ellan. I hope all is well with you!👍⛴️
Very cool structured vessel Love watching these! thanks
Really well engineered Elizabeth
Beautiful ship, thanks for sharing this with us, Mike!
Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate you taking a minute to drop a comment. It means a lot to me. Have a great Friday night.
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm on the topic 🙂
I too am mesmerized by most things related to the Great Lakes.
As a Michigander who loves the lakes AND Nederland, this checks all my boxes. 😊

My wife's side of the family owns a campground in Mackinaw City, Michigan on the shores of Lake Huron, just about two miles from the Mackinac Bridge. I just love being there, watching the convergence of freighters near the Straits.
@FDTF45 I have not been to Lake Huron and I definitely want to get there someday. I’ve seen beautiful videos and pictures of the area.
Bruh, I really enjoy all your videos; great catch perfect narration.
You know what, it makes me really happy to read your comment and know that you stopped for a minute to say this. All the best to you brother!
Of course a beautiful day in Deluth. Fabulous looking ship...⛴️👍. Greets from Vancouver...🇨🇦
I hope everything is great in Vancouver! A wonderful city. Wonderful people. Everybody I’ve met from Vancouver has been awesome.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@vibewithmike Generally all's good. Harbour has been busy..quite a few ships anchored Burrard Inlet and waiting to come in just west of Stanley Park. Lot of grain ships right now....👍🇨🇦⛴️🇺🇸
Wow i really like that gray and red color scheme it gives the ship a good look 🤩⛴
This is definitely a change up from all the other vessels that I see here in Duluth
They are Bringing the Style Back. NICE.
This ship was in Duluth the last time I was there. I kept hoping she would leave while we were there but she didn’t.
You saw one of the rarest ships in Duluth. I really wish we were able to see it this year. It still has not arrived. I don’t know if it will arrive, but we will see. That is a rare bird of a ship. Also, did you see the tour on the thousand foot ship? th-cam.com/video/mvaC5q6cDNg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_6P-rygpu7gm65F7
It’s a beautiful ship, sleek and modern design but the older ships are still my favorites
I agree with everything that you just said. I feel the same way. It’s really cool to see the same type of design built in the last few years from the Lakers that we’ve been seeing for 50+ years. Thanks for taking time out of your Saturday to write a comment. And watch a video. All the best to you. Did you see my favorite video of the season? You’ll see all of the sea smoke on lake superior th-cam.com/video/mKzamgCa6zw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6x1lTK4e0caXJOoa
Nice looking vessel
I agree Peter!👍⛴️
What a difference from empty to full!!! She's a beauty.
Super clean and modern design, tough to beat
@@vibewithmikeThe 360° glass bridge with the hood (bow) is so sexy...
Serious, the designer should get an award.
Thank you!

Very interesting. But also sleek. Not a self unloader. Enjoyed the video Mike and BE SAFE OUT THERE!
Thanks Henry! Great hearing from you and happy Friday night!
Great videography, Mike. She's a beauty fer sure ! Stay dry and warm out there !

Stunning looking vessel 😍
Fun to look at vessel for sure
Ahh love this ship, I live in Delfzijl, home of (most) of the Wagenborg fleet :D she’s a real sleek beauty.
Keep up with these amazing videos Mike, always love when I see a new upload from you, much love ❤️
heel erg bedankt, mijn vriend. Ik ben van plan om de komende jaren uw prachtige land te bezoeken. Ik heb daar veel vrienden. Ik zou ook graag jouw stad bezoeken. vijf jaar lang heb je het DelSail-evenement! dat ziet er zo geweldig uit. Zoveel coole boten. Wees geen vreemde, kom terug voor meer scheepsvideo's. Het is een genoegen je te ontmoeten.
Great video Mike That Ship is Amazing Have A Great Friday Night And Weekend 😊
Anthony, you do the same my friend
This looks so fancy!!! Its a cool color scheme too! Thanks for sharing Mike! Hope you have a good one!
Johan, you got it admit, this is a good looking ship out here in Duluth. This really impressed me.
@@vibewithmike Yeah it absolutely is a beautiful ship!
I agree!
My sister went to school at UW Superior so I'd be up there a couple times a year. Miss seeing the ships! (Since her birthday is in October we got to experience the "haunted" William Irvine over in Duluth.
Took a harbor tour back in the early 2000s and saw the Millenium Falcon at the General Mills dock. Forgot who owned it but all their ships were "Millenium" and a bird.
Love the classic Laker look so much since I was a kid.
Another great video Boat Friend. I love all the data you share on each vessel.
Thanks Jim, I try my best to do research, I don’t get every fact, but I try to get most cool stuff.
Those forward pilot houses just look pretty good to me anyone else?
I wish they would keep making the style. The old-school Lakers are going to be retired at some point and then we will not have many of these left. I love this look. Did you see this video from yesterday? th-cam.com/video/UxSG09yZx7Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N9G66xYYrV4-e2Es
That's a nice looking vessel! Take care Mike,God Bless!!!😊
Thanks Lumpy! All the best to you my friend!
It does look like a laker, i have seen this vessel a few years now. And i didnt realise this until you said it.
I definitely agree with you, it does look like a Laker. It’s a beautiful looking ship. I hope you subscribe (it’s free) and come back to channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Thanks for sharing, Mike. Her salute is much higher pitched than some of the Lakers! Not like the Barker Bark! 😊
You are right, not as loud as the regular ships we see
The other ship in the class 'Egbert Wagenborg' called at Duluth, on 26 November 2022 to collect a full load for Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
The Egbert and the Maxima, the most beautiful ships out there
It has been about 10 years ago I stopped at Gram's. I was there in September and was disappointed not what I remembered.
Grandmas is the best, those onion rings are so awesome. Jeff, I’m hungry right now thinking of them. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to watch the video and leave a comment. Take a look at this link. This is my favorite ship video of the past season. There was tons of sea smoke on Lake Superior. It was unbelievably cold too! th-cam.com/video/mKzamgCa6zw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b9s-KKJx4XzauwOV
She is beautiful - thank you.
Oh wow. That's nice. That ship was built by Niestern-Sander in Farmsum (Delfzijl). That's 30 km from where I live. Cool to see. Didn't expect it to sail across the Great Lakes to Duluth. 👍👍
It was an absolute treat to see it! I cannot wait to see it again! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@vibewithmike Thank you for the video. I'm now subscribed so I'll check out the rest 😄.
@@EdwinMK79 I’m thrilled for our next conversation
she looks awesome - different style
Clare, this was honestly a great treat to see it
She's a beaut' and has a long trip ahead of her. Bon voyage.
Pete, did you see the tinted windows on the pilot house? That was cool.
It sure Is different! It's a cool looking ship!
Jack, I really enjoyed the ship
@Vibe with Mike ⚓️ yeah I did to, I've never seen one quite like that one. I didn't know they still put the piolet houses at the bow.
I’m glad they did. Many years of this vessel sailing for us to enjoy!
@@vibewithmike oh no doubt!
👍⛴️
❤ I was their 3 weeks ago. Got one leaving and one coming in. Then Grandma's.
That’s the perfect combination. What did you get a Grandma’s? I’m a big fan of their wild rice soup
What a beautiful ship! Thanks for the info. That line of cloud is a weather front.
Gill! Have an awesome Friday night and an even better weekend!
Thank you for posting. I read that there was a ship going to the Netherlands with a load from the re-opened elevator/terminal in Duluth. I did not know it was going to be such an impressive ship.
What an awesome vessel to be the one that takes that load! It’s a real statement ship!
Another unique visitor to Duluth 🚢
I hope to see this vessel back sometime soon
AHA! A *_NEW_* forward pilot ship!
I know, I love it! Keep them coming! Did you see this one from another day? th-cam.com/video/hGlUk_bds60/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HxP8DjmQSJVqI7BJ
A beautiful ship. Very unique in build. Like.

Wow what a beautiful ship 👍👍👍
What’s up Larry! Happy Friday brother!
Looks like she can take some heavy weather with that high bow, be fun to sail on her, thanks again hope to swing by in a few weeks🚤🤗
The weather should be great for you in a few weeks. Prime time for ships too.
Beautiful. My favorite color
The is one of the coolest looking ships out there Stephanie!
The ship looks so sleek...it looks brand new.❤
It sure does Lori! A true pleasure to watch go by me. Very impressed.
Another great video! To me it is almost hypnotizing. To see those big vessels slide past you with little to no sound.
Very nice! Thank you
Shawn, I wish this boat would come through every day
She's a BEAUTY !!! (So unlike the other rustbuckets of the Great Lakes.)

What an "updated" old style laker would look like! Smooth...
This ship belongs, as you can read, to the Wagenborg Shipping Company in the Netherlands. She is named after our queen Maxima.
Such a great ship
She is beautiful
I was wondering if the ship was named after your very elegant and beautiful queen-so thank you for confirming that. I am always glad to see photos of her-I love her wonderful smile and always fabulous fashions.
Hello Mike. Happy Friday night!!! I love the red color. Very smart. She DOES have very nice lines. I think her whistle suits her. A smaller vessel doesn't need a whistle like The Barker. Like everyone else, courious about the beet pellets. Safe journey to the Netherlands captain and crew!!! Thank you for recording this vessel for us. Hope you had a good day. Take care friend and hope to chat in the comments later. 🙋🚢
The red color on the ship really makes it
@@vibewithmike I totally agree.👍👍

It's interesting how sand get's deposited on the pier. It's deep.
That is a seriously nice ship! Thanks for sharing! Not something we see very often here in Tucson!
Thanx for the mussels.
Sweet ship, 1 screw pod.
Rolls some coal, Maxima!
Very cool looking boat!
It’s ahas such a cool modern design!
That is a unique ship! Thanks for sharing. I would love to take the ride to the east Coast. It would be fun to see.
Jeff, it’s sitting right now anchored in Duluth. I cannot wait for it to come in. I’m sitting on pins and needles brother.
@@vibewithmike it's back again? That's very cool.
@jeffrosen8237 yes, it’s sitting at a Anchor right now. I’m keeping my eye on it.
Sturdy-looking yet pleasant to the eye I guess one could say a streamlined Laker and a respectable paint scheme thats still clean. The bow with the streamlining still has much of the conventional look but the angle from slightly behind also resembles one of the later C&O car ferries. It's also a twist of fate that such a new vessel loaded at one of the oldest elevators on the Great Lakes. Here in Milwaukee several weeks ago we had the distinction of three cruise ships tied up here at once (one each at the museum, the Lake Ferry Express terminal and the Port of Milwaukee heavy-lift dock) We're also looking forward to the arrival of the first vessel to load at the DeLong grain handling facility which will ship spent distillers grain as well as corn and soybeans. Hopefully they can make up lost tonnage since last year's closure of the Nedira.elevator. great video 😊
Thanks for the heads up. Just after watching your video I checked out Marine Traffic. Lo and behold the 'Maxima' was heading down bound into the Fleming Channel (Belle Isle) across from me. Visibility and the angle of the sun none too good though.
Do you think you’ll be able to get out and check it out?
Well that was different ! Even had a pointy bow.
Norman, it was just pushing through the water with no issue
Love this ship. I would love to see around the engine room. Thank you for sharing
Joseph, I looked for a little while online for an engine room picture for you of this vessel. I couldn’t find it, however, here is the exact specs of the whole vessel. www.wagenborg.com/ships/maxima
@@vibewithmike Thank you
Excellent video mike
Rich! Thank you friend. It’s a wonderful ship. Happy Saturday.
Solid vid, thanks.
She's an adorable la petite , great lines and a sleek look for sure. Amazing she is 100' the lesser of the Valley Camp which I walked this past summer making her just under half the length of the lakes grandest. crazy enough the Paul R Tregutha pulls .5 knots ahead at double the size. I guess the Maxima is built for efficiency to cross the Atlantic though.

For sure! I grew up between Detroit, Tawas, and Brimley ( up) and have family that have done a lot of historical work in and around Superior. I love the maritime history of the lakes and to see such a new vessel sailing on them is great! Like I said she has such great lines on her, a welcome sight to a lot of the work horses still on the lakes since long before I was a thought. Thanks for the awesome footage. I look forward to more and hope to get out to Duluth one day to watch them make their way out. @@vibewithmike
@matthewthompsonr it’s a pleasure meeting you. I look forward to continuing our conversation. The ship definitely impressed the heck out of me. Beautiful looking vessel going under the bridge and I love the contrast of the different vessels that are moving around on the Great Lakes!⛴️👍🙏

Incredible!!!!! I know these ships have all kinds of weather gadgets, but I wonder how many Captains still look over at those flags for a wind check?
I know what you mean. I’m guessing a lot. Even when I go down to record a ship I always show your flag. That’s the real wind representation to me. Happy Friday.

Het is echt gaaf om iemand anders te ontmoeten die dezelfde passie heeft voor de zee en schepen zoals ik en de andere bootvrienden die er zijn.
