It's so easy to forget just how massive these ships are until you see them come home! WOW!
Indeed ! WOW Something that BIG Moving that close to where your standing !! IMPRESSIVE to say the least
Well done captain .I put the sound up full to hear the ice . in my back garden in Ireland ..at 22.15 ..the horn scared the s...t out of me and dogs in neighbouring houses 😅😅
@@bigvolvoa25d
Lol yes the Horn Blasts
Are indeed Loud !
I have been scared a few times too !
But I Adore those Huge Boats !!
Cheers !!
Thought it would never end...lol.
@@Wilett614 And to think the tree huggers of this world would have these gaints banned ,how would they think a 1004' ship fully laden can be moved by batteries.
You know it’s a big ship when it takes 4mins to pass you 😂
First trip to sea late 70s was up the Great Lakes on the MV Federal Clyde. I was only 16 and a galley boy. Now I’m nearly 60 and chief 👨🍳in the Merchant Navy. Sadly all the British ships and shipping companies have all gone. Miss the good old days of the cargo boats tramping around the world. Had some great runs ashore in some fantastic places. ❤️ my job & the 🌊🌊🌊 👨🍳👨🍳😉
Thank You for sharing your story!! Thanks for Watching!!
What has always amazed me, is the silence of the giant bow slipping thru the icy water. Welcome home and rest to the boat and personal
I loved the guy that said “ARE YOU GOING TO THROW US SOME CANDY”.
Great camera work. You made me and my buds day. Thanks for posting. Ships and trains...best toys in the world.
Glad you Enjoyed it!! Thanks for Watching!! More to come!
She spent last off season here in Erie at DonJon shipbuilding with the Presque Isle. I'm sure it's nice for them to really be home again.
THANK YOU!!! i just love watching. Those
folks are so brave.And you to be out getting this footage.
🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🙋♀️
Your Welcome!! Thanks For Watching
That was wonderful. At one point because of the movement of the ice along the ship it appeared as if you were moving along, but not quite as fast as the ship. Great optical illusion.
Thank You!! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come! Thanks for Watching
I noticed that as well even on my tablet screen.
Great to see and experience when we can’t in person, thanks for posting!
Your Welcome!! Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching!!
From the UK: This is on my bucket list of things to do when hopefully one day I can visit the wonderful land of the United States of America. Thanks for the film!
Your Welcome! Hope you can come over sometime!! Thanks for Watching!!
There are about 38 lakers as the ships are called on the great lakes.
So cool to see these massive beasts up close like this, literally right in front of you! 😳
Great ships, brave crews, necessary business. Thank you Mesabi Miner.
Yes...thanks indeed crew...God bless America...🇺🇲
What a great way to put it.
Thanks.. it was a cold lay up.
Gotta love the "horn"! One of the best sounds on earth! Great video. Up-close and personal. It's amazing how "steel" floats.
I need that on my car now
@@e.c.listening326 I have a different way of "tooting" my horn. Yeah,,,,, I'm a little stinker!
@@kenhurley4441 let your winds go free, wherever you may be 😄
Yes it has that "Pretty" sound. If you get a chance view it on a tv with a good sound system it sounds like you are there. Thanks for Watching!!
I jumped back twice before the end just to listen again lol
THANK you so much for this inspiring video!! I love how people were saying "Good morning!" It was probably below 0F but here all all these folks watching and waving. Cool. Very cool.
Your Welcome!! Yes it was quite cool that morning. Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for Watching!!😊
Great video. It really brings home the enormous size of these lake freighters. 1004 feet long! For comparison, a Nimitz Class carrier is 1092 feet.
Thank You!! Stay tuned for more video going though the bridges and finally the graving dock. Thanks for Watching!!
Didn't realise they were that huge
@@terrymoney9718 if memory serves me correctly the Stewart J. Cort was the first of the 1000footers.
And the King of all Seas the mighty "Sea wise giant" was 458 meters long.....time and a half this!!!
Try to imagine that monster!
@@levisalvini4110 That was one big Beast!!
DANG! That sure is one big fat canoe!
Great video. Love those great lake ships. I can't believe how big they are. Wish I lived close by to go see them.
Thank You!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!!!
where do you live?
@@brentj.peterson6070 Sturgeon Bay, WI
So elegant as she glides over the water.
Great video! Brings me back home to Wisconsin!
Thank You!! and Thanks for Watching!!
@Jeff Smith Your Welcome!! Thanks for Watching!!
So much for ice fishing that channel. 😄
I had the opportunity to work on her in dry dock,erie,pa in the early 90's..quite a site up on dry dock blocks,underneath her hull..unbelievable amount of steel from that perspective..!!!
Witht he river water moving gives the illusion that the shore is moving, pretty cool
What a giant, wow.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Yes they are giant, especially when you are next them. Thank You for Wathcing!!
I really enjoy watching the Great Lakes shipping in the Winter … from Southern Arizona! It reminds me of what the Real World is like 😎😁. I have roots in Northern Indiana, and spent some time around Lake Michigan, especially!
Thanks for Watching!!
Nice video!!, and an extra Great job, and Thank You for not recording vertically like the other people.
Thank You!! I agree! You don get the full perspective if it is not wide. I did not take the drone up until later. I did this with my phone tried to keep as steady as I could without a tripod. I will have some more video of the Miner coming up.
Have lots of video and pics to sort out. Thanks for Watching!!
@@DoorCountyDronebyMarkEvenson looking forward to it. Great to have found your site.
What an impressive ship !
Living about an hour to the South I think I'm going to make a trip up to sturgeon Bay to go look at these great ships.
i know very little about these ships but seeing them up close, taking in how GIGANTIC they are, fills me with a sense of awe. so majestic. they bring tears to my eyes...😳😪👏🤗
Yes you don't realize how big they are until you get right up to one. Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for Watching!!
Thanks for posting! Awesome to be that close 😲. Happy winter break to the Captain and crew!
Your Welcome!! Thanks for Watching!!
What an amazing sight! Thank you for posting your excellent video.
Your Welcome Mike!! Glad You Enjoyed!! Thank You for Watching!!😊
Super.Happy voyage, greetings from the Czech Republic.
Thanks for Watching!!
once as a young man while waterskiing on the St.Clair river, i went between a north and a southbound sip. man they looked huge!!
HOLY muffin that thing is a titan!!!
Welcome home. Good job
Thanks for Watching!!
I could watch these videos all day long...
Thank for Watching!!
3:37
Seeing that Port lamp brought back wonderful memories of serving on a Frigate in the ‘60s and enjoying every minute I was onboard👍👏
One of the experiences I will NEVER forget‼️
Thank You!! Glad it brought back memories for you!! Thanks for Watching!!
Lovely footage!! Her air horn has great bass and resonance... Many a cruise ship would be pleased if their horns sounded like that!!
Thank You!! Thanks for Watching!!
I can't believe how quiet they are. Great video
Yes they are! Thank You!! Thanks for Watching!!
That is a very tight canal, no margin for error
I saw the Mesabi Miner in the St. Clair River several years ago near the Bluewater Bridge. It is a massive ship and has a great crew! Glad all made it home safely for a well deserved rest! .🙂🙂
So cool I’d love to see this up close in person!!,
Its always interesting to me to see the water filling back in as they push through. I live near the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach in SoCal, and we get much larger ships than these, but being its open ocean and not an enclosed area you don't realize just how much water an object of that size displaces, even empty. It's really amazing to watch the water level drop, then flow back in behind it, almost like a mini Tsunami.
I seriously doubt you get much larger ships...this baby is 1000 feet long, you may get taller ships.
They don't come much bigger
Can't believe summer is already gone. Great video.
Thank You Mr31!! Thanks for Watching!!
Wow, what a beauty. Enjoy your rest guys. See you in the Spring.
It is absolutely amazing what man can create and destroy.
So quiet and graceful.
Yes She is! Thank You for Watching!!
Wow!! I love that view from the lighthouse! It's gotta be my favorite! If I lived there, I would be there all the time, awesome video! Thank you!
You're Welcome Jack Thanks for Watching!!😊
Great Camera Work! Thanks for doing the video's!
Your Welcome!! More to come soon! Thanks for Watching!!
That is just too cool! I love seeing them that close!
Nice video, Thanks so much!!!! That is one HUGE boat. WOW!😮
Your Welcome!! Thanks for Watching!!!
Ship!
Great video footage! Shows size well.
Thank You!!
Damn impressive.
Awesome video. Really felt like being there. She is the ship of my family's history of being iron ore miners. It is very nice that she was named in the honor of all those that pull the iron ore out of the ground to be shipped down to the smelters. Many thanks to the captain and crew for taking such good care of her. See you next season.
Glad you Enjoyed it!! Yes the name of the Miner is very fitting. Thanks for Watching!!
Seriously impressive 👍
I saw a few while living in Marquette Michigan. These ships are massive!
Man that is awesome!! Love to see more. Thanks for the video!
Thank You!! Yes there will be more to come soon, from the canal all the way into the graving dock. Thanks for Watching!!
Wow this is amazing thank you for sharing these
Thank You!! Glad you enoyed watching. There will be more on the Mesbi Miner coming soon. Thanks for Watching!!
Amazing, I could land a plane on that deck.
Thanks!
Super cool to watch!
that camera angle is so good it makes the people on land feel like they are moving and not the ship
Thank You, Yes it is amazing when you are that close!! Thanks for Watching!!
@Door County Drone by Mark Evenson © pleasure. Moving to MN USA later this year so looking forward to seeing them for myself
That is pretty. I like watching the ships glide by.
P.S., it's almost like waiting for a Navy ship coming back from deployment- I ought to know- Husband was in the Navy for twenty years.
Yes I'm sure all the crew are awainting for their familys. Thank You for Watching!!

Thanks I’m in Cleveland we get to see some big boats now and then
Thanks for Watching!!
Do the 1000 footers ever go into Lakes Erie or Ontario?
@@kevinduveneck1504 Yeah thousand footers get the Cleveland I’m pretty sure not sure about Ontario I have to do some looking at that
@@kevinduveneck1504they don’t go into Lake Ontario. They’re too big to go through the locks to get around Niagara Falls
Amazing is harder enter without tug and also the snow !!
