freighter passing by at Neebish Beach phenomenon

- This 'phenomenon' is actually caused by the Venturi Effect: wrangellnarrowsdotcom.files.w...
It is not a wake, nor is it displacement.
Neebish Island is a very small island on the St. Mary's Sriver halfway between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Lake Huron.
I don't know what type of boat the yellow one is.
The little boy with the arm floaties is pure joy!! 😊
I lifted my feet onto the couch as I watched this. You know... just in case...
Geez you missed the wave lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha I like that. 😄
I get that 😁😁😁
THAT won't save you...
seeing that kid having so much fun with the waves made me very happy, reminded me about my childhood, like one comment said, simpler times
Yeah, really miss it
You are NEVER too old, to have a happy childhood.
Whenever I see the comment 'simpler times' it makes me want to cry
@@RameyRocks .
Appearantly you have never heard of Michael Jackson....
The yellow boat is a true classic. Judging by its design, I'm guessing it's late 70s to early 80s, yet it looks like new.
Looks like my dads old 84 run-about tho I don't see the fins on the back like what was on my dad's..lol
Yea I really want to get an older 1 like that and restore it. They look so simple and beautiful 😍
@@Nojomojo1 I guess I missed an opportunity. I bought a 78 for $2000 with the hopes of fixing it up. $5000 later, I finally gave up on it. I should've saved it for you.
@@gop4usa12 the cost to restore is exactly why I haven't bought into one yet 😅 I bet she was a beaut. Time and money are precious commodities lately however. My current project is setting my truck up for overland style camping 🏕
One of the best days in your life is buying a Boat!! The greatest day is when you Sell it!!!!!!
Couldn't help but think as the guy is waving,,, " Forrest Gump " when he sees Lt Dan. "That's my boat"
haha yeah I see that
chris call YES! That's exactly what I saw, hahah!
chris call yes man I cried it was a sad part his shrimping boat wow so sad
iZZyBVaPn
I gru up atin' swimp
chris call i knew i had seen thar before lol
That child laughing and playing in the waves is so cute. That laughter is contagious... I started chuckling too.
The kid is loving the wave while the grown ups panicked 😂😂😂
I experienced that once on the Mississippi river. I was on a large backwater lake, about a mile long by half mile wide, that was only about 18" deep though out there entire area. I was moving along in a little 12' fishing boat with a 7.5hp outboard that I had to have lifted into shallow drive to keep it out of the mud. As the barge approached, all the water started draining out of the area. At first I was going sideways with the water but then it got too shallow and the boat set on the bottom and I shut off the motor. The entire 'lake' became a huge mud flat with puddles. There were large fish flapping around. It was a fast moving section of river and the barge was very long so the two tugs were really working but not moving very fast as they were going up river. Wr got out and walked around a little bit, looking at fish. Finally, after about 5 minutes, it was almost past us and we saw a big wave moving in towards us, it was basically a 2' tall mass of water moving into the area. It didn't start as an inch across the area that got deeper, it came as a wave. In front of the wave was mud and behind the wave was what looked like a lake. As it passed by us, it violently lifted us up and shoved us as it floated the boat again. It was really weird.
What happened to the fish?
@@bigtridentguy I'm not sure, we didn't stay in touch. Once the water came back they swam away and I never saw them again.
I had some friends describe the same thing while skiing on the Chesapeake-Albemarle canal. They were skiing in the opposite direction of a barge and tug. The guy skiing said he saw the boat stand on end as the wake of the tug hit it. He said he was momentarily staring at the floor of the boat. Then the boat crashed back down into the water. They then realized that the deck and the hull had separated at the rub rail. They were just riveted together.
National lottery
Pls how does the barge cause this
Wow. Just gives a concrete indication of how massive these ships really are. They are so long and wide and have such a deep draft.
THATS WHAT SHE SAID . . . . .
@@ericperkins3078😂😂😂
I really love this because it shows how much fun you can have from just the simplest things in life. Thank you. Jamie
The incredible effect those freighters have on a smaller body of water, and shows how much they actually displace. great video of it though.
Awesome captain for honking the horn
Today he'd be on the phone and not paying attention
Cash Only in that case, he’d be sailing on a very different material.

Hi hookup]
It was warning.
LOL at 1:53 ...that kid's having a fantastic time just bouncing around in the water-- damn the waves!
Being under water when a big freighter goes by is even cooler. The sound and vibrations are crazy.
William Wilson I've had that happen, except it was directly above me. Scariest moment of my life. Those vibrations were more like thuds and thumps, the turbines and pumps intakes were so fucking loud, I could feel and hear the propellers, and I couldn't see anything when the prop wash came in.
@@willrc5731 What were you doing down there?
@@danlightened Attaching drugs to the ships hull.
@@macman975 excellent my good man, excellent...lmao! 🤣
The noise pollution from large ships and high frequency sonar testing is having detrimental effects on sea life. Look it up. Researchers are doing their best to address it. Pretty amazing. A good Ted talk on it as well. Cheers
There are so many weird phenomena that you would never think of happening until they do.
Just think how much deeper the oceans would be if there were no sea sponges...
Whisper it’s a joke referring to sponges soak up water.
Whisper do you actually not know what a cliff is
@Dave Smith So Dave, do you know that the pool on the Titanic still has water in it? Explain that! 😀
@@chiefpontiac1800 But its a bit cold and wants to crush me to death
A little wet humor.
Builder: how long do you want this boat to be?
Owner: *YES*
@@keithclark486 yes like, I want it to be as long as possible.
Funny, by definition that was technically a barge being pushed by a tug. It's called the Presque Isle.
Just so it will fit in the lock dumbarse !!!
It's the "Windowlicker" limo, in boat form.
Spaceballs intro but with this boat
Grew up on Wellsley Island every summer. We used to sit on the sun porch and watch the lakers go by in the evenings. I remember fishing in our boat and one of them passing by. The wake is incredible. Back in the 1950's there were far fewer pleasure boats and they were a lot smaller. we had a 16 foot boat with a 75 hp motor. At the time, that was the largest outboard made. I was in Alexandria Bay last summer and there is a 600 foot laker sunk just a few hundred feet from shore. I was going to dive on it but didn't have the time.
let me know if you want to dive
I grew up in Club Island, next door. We were sheltered from the shipping channel, but whenever we encountered a freighter on the way over to A-Bay, he'd run our 20' Lancer right up to it, scaring the heck out of us kids.
c moore, thats interesting, we used to go to some private property off wellsley island (going thru t.i. state park) to stay and vaca on the "spectacle islands", my wife's family (Running) owned those 2 really small islands, we went diving off there many times, never did see the water drop or rise like that, we did see large wake's from some tourist boats but the water level never rose or fell like that.
That is the Presque Isle. A 1000ft Integrated Tug Barge freighter. The only one of her kind. The tug is purpose built for that barge and that barge only. A masterpeice in modern engineering. She is also a formidable ice breaker when she seperates from the barge.
I have never seen anything like this before. This is absolutely amazing.
I recently discovered these behemoths. I have never in my life seen ships/tankers this large. There's a gentleman with a YT channel who regularly videotapes them passing through a channel on the Great Lakes.

@@taekwondotime You are right. Never thought of it before.
@@taekwondotime Yep. POS
all It means is Trump is full of shit 1000%.
As kids, we used to swim in the Mississippi River in New Orleans. When full tankers were traveling up river is did the same thing but with much more effect. It’s a miracle none of us drowned.
Seen some of the barges around St. Paul Minn do this on the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, but that ship makes it look more impressive then they did.
I was a kid growing up in St.Rose on Crespo Ave and we used to ride our bikes on the levee and swim in the river. It was dangerous and dirty but we didn't care. Best days of my life.
Further up river and on the tributaries you get the same effect when a big raft of barges goes by.
@@travisyayes6343 We used to set trot lines when the river rose to the levee in the spring. We had neighborhood fish fries with the giant catfish lol Again, how am I alive?? The Coast Guard (or whomever) once hailed us on the loud speaker and somehow knew our names, told us to go back to the levee and wait for them. "Yes sir!" And we were gone. We also made bonfires back there and made the fat levee board cops chase us on foot. Good times!
@ Wakeywhodat, if you swam in the Mississippi River in New Orleans, it’s a miracle you didn’t get toxic shock, or eaten by a bull shark.
Very cool. I used to be stationed up there in SSM. I was lucky enough to get to ride on one of these bulk carriers once a year through the St. Mary's. Beautiful area. I miss it!
My daughter lives at Port Aransas Texas and was telling me about it. I said there’s no way, but she took me and showed me. It’s just incredible.
My family had vacationed at Port Aransas since the late 60's, and my sister has lived there 20 years. Charlie's Pasture, just west of the Ferry's, use to be beach, just like this video is and we would be on the beach looking for shells - watching for the big ships to come - for 2 reasons. #1 - when the ships suck the water out off the beach, we would run around real fast collecting shells that were revealed by the water pulling away. #2 - you dont want to get caught off guard when the water comes rushing back in!! If you aren't paying attention to what is around your feet, the water will push you around, slam you into whatever is on the ocean bottom, shells, broken glass, concrete blocks, etc. One time, as the water was rushing back in, it was carrying an old crab trap set-up which came wrapping around my legs, scratching me (salt water burns!) and almost took my feet out from under me! I recovered and we carried on. In my opinion, the City ruined one of the best shell collecting places when they put in bulkhead all the way around to the marina. No more walking that little stretch of beach for shells. Two small areas seem to pile up with shells, which we live to check out a couple of times a day for new or uncovered shells. But - always pay attention for those big ships - they are SILENT moving through the water!!. Will be there sucking water out before you know it!
@@lisamanrique1770 Wow good info for sure. My friend Boondocking with Dennis videos in that area. I worked the Hurricane Harvey disaster there. Great folks.
The moment the wave approaches still has us all sitting on the edge of our seats in excitement !
Brings back memories of my teenage years. Dad kept his sail boat docked in Lake Erie. Use to go to this beach and marveled at the freighters going by sucking the water out from under our feet!
2010: a much simpler time....
Mike Haggar that's crazy I'm 18 and I thought 2010 was simpler but that's cuz I was 11. adults view 2010 as harder (because stock market crash) but this shows how perspective changes based on age something I didn't really think of
To me the 90s were simple times. The cold war was over and 911 didnt happen yet.
you sound like me in 1988 speaking about 1980.. so whatever.
It hasn't even been a decade yet.
2010, 2000, 1980, 1950 what's the difference?The world just gets more complex master your life and you will enjoy the ride.
Life's simple pleasures are the best.
What's funny is the contrast between the little kid having a great time in the waves and the boat owners stressing about their "pleasure craft". Whether it's a boat or an RV, pleasure craft are only pleasurable about 10% of the time.

For a video that came out more than 6 years ago, I'm wondering why almost all the comments are from the last 48 hours.
Because Trump won.
Christopher C It's because of you tube new math algorithm for the videos. we now are sent old vids that are not current or that they think we would be interested in. if you watch you tubers. .. they have been complaing about how there views have gone down in the last 6 months
Mr Kenn Huh that's interesting. Hadn't heard of that before, but it makes sense
Lol yeah true. We used to have this happen all the time at a summer camp down on the Eastern Shore by the Chesapeake
TH-cam replays???
I actually watched this 10 years ago and here it is back in my recommendations.
When we were kids we used to wait until the ships went by and swim in with the waves they made, oh the joys of being a kid
I scuba dived on a 600 footer the anchor chain links are 6 foot tall each. I don't think people really realize how massive these ships are
That tug and barge actually has 10 foot chain links. Dude whatever 😂
Boat so long I feel like it just made it through 2020
Let’s hope we all make it through!
It took 10 years to sail.
Venturi effect as the ship passes (water speeds up to the aft, lowers pressure) followed by hydraulic jump as water suddenly slows down and must therefore rise.
That makes sense. I was wondering what physics were causing this.
also Bernoulli's Principle.
You would think that the water displaced by the massive hull would result in an increase in water level, but it does the opposite. Venturi effect ?
Lonnie Sayler please let that be sarcasm this is the most common effect of a shipsnproppeller it aimple sucks water from front pushes it back and a this freighter propably has a proppeller of about 8 meters give or take so the effect is larger and another thing how the hell did you think the water was going to rise up the ship is already in the water plus it is not a box of water the water comes from sea probably a lock inbetween so the water can come and go as the authorities want it to go
truelly a example of people not having a clue what a ship is and still they think they can play captain nope people might as well say that about cars you need knowledge to be safe in traffic same goes for the waterways
Bert Kooijmans Bert, be nice. Not everyone understands this phenomenon. No need to be a smart ass.
My step-father had a beach house on the Chesapeake Bay just west of Cape Henry. They were on the beach one day in the 70s or 80s as an aircraft carrier was scrambled to sea faster than he had ever seen before. The water level dropped several feet. He got his kids off the beach and up into the dunes. The wave that returned flooded the entire beach up to the dune line.
Yeah that would do it, Nimitz Class carriers displace around 100k tons
The do's and don't's of "how to secure your boat" Do: Boat A has 2 ropes stays controlled next to the shore with the owners safe on dry land.
Don't: Boat B has no ropes, quickly floats out to deeper water with the owners clinging to the sides of the boat.
Concern C. Leave the little ones between or on boat while no parents close enough if boat B smashed kid between boats, while hitting boat A.
Issue # 3: Call me a paranoid parent! Relief # 1: Outcome of waves-
Otherwise in the end everyone's okay and the kids loved it ad are all safe. The beauty of hearing happy laughter from the cute kids is priceless!! Okay hit the like button on this video, say my peace and movin on! Cheers
Couldn't help but think "Holy shit, they're going to lose the yellow boat". It looked as if it was about to be swept away. Never forget to tie up the boat.
Another option would be if the one girl would have held onto it, like requested or ran over to help instead of just standing there. Possibly helpful.
The freighters aren't going to stop, so, put a second anchor out, that holds the boat in deeper water, with a spring line ran to the shore anchor, pull boat in with the spring line, when needed.
No problem with allowing the boat to beach for a moment. No need for a bunch of extra work.
Awww the kid is having so much fun!

This looks like North Beach, this is great footage of the surge. I grew up since 1962 spending summers on little Neebish, but only discovered this North Beach area about ten years ago. Thanks for posting this.
James Foley it is the North Beach. Most of it is now under water with the water so high.
I have seen freighters many times, have been to the locks. But never seen that phenomenon! Thanks for the video! Pretty cool.
'Neebish Beach Phenomenon' sounds like a college band.....
I’d buy their latest CD
Peter Clark, only if they keep the boat horn in.
Clarke, my apologies.
Wow! 10 years ago!
Awww the kid splashing around looked like they were having a great time!❤️
That little kid getting excited and splashing around was fucking adorable.
something you wouldn't think about is the boat landing on your foot when it gets picked up and comes back down... happened to me 😖
Yes, even small waves can smash the hull into the ground, and pinching anything that is under it.
The explanation of why this happens is counter-intuitive. You would think the water should rise as the ship passes by, and return to normal after it is gone. If the ship displaces a million gallons of water... where does it go?
The key is in the fact that the boat is already in the water, long before it passes by. It isn't displacing water now,, but as it passes by it leaves a void behind itself. Water rushes in to fill the void. THAT is why the water level drops momentarily.
It's actually pushing the water in front of the ship because as the ship moves through the water it is creating a forward moving wave that corrals the water with the energy the wave is creating. Because of the slow speed of the ship and its distance from the shoreline the wave is not very well defined for the human eye, but it would be like a diagonal line from the bow of the ship equally dispersed on the port and starboard sides to the shore. But if the ship suddenly stopped moving, the water would return with the ship in the same place because the wave would lose its energy that is corralling the water.
This video shows it the best th-cam.com/video/q2OQOAFq-hY/w-d-xo.html

i know. its science. but i still dont understand why the water goes out????
@@leonperry123 Look at it this way: as the ship moves forward water rushes to fill the space formerly occupied by the ship.
Thank you comments
now thats a fun time!! i needed to smile today! love the sound of childrens laughter!! sweet music to my ears!! thank you so much!!
I read this as “fighter passing by at Neebish Beach phenomenon” and seeing as how I’ve been watching low pass jet fly overs, I just had to see the jet that caused this phenomenon. Not a jet, not even a fast moving ship, but impressive none the less.
That woman was so scared. She nearly bolted twice.
I didn’t know ships could cause the water to recede
Though it's not really surprising if you think about what it takes to move such a massive object.
The ship is pushing a lot of water behind it, and that water has to come from somewhere. While it won't be noticeable on the open ocean, it is a different story in a shallow confined waterway like this.
@@rockyblacksmith I suppose you’re right 👍
@@rockyblacksmith why? If the ship displaces so much water!! You’d think the water would rise!
Does the same thing on the Ohio River when a barge comes through. So cool when I was a kid🙂
@@pamelasharp4766 big barge 👍
I took an impromptu trip up to the soo about a year and a half after this video was made. It was nighttime and I watched a boat lock heading downriver. I buzzed on down to Neebish to watch it pass by a little while later. It was still night. Pitch dark. I had never been there before. I watched the ship pass by, then to my surprise I listened as this huge wave approached me. Not what I was expecting!
That is so much fun to swim in. As a kid in Texas swimming in the lake we loved every boat that came by. The bigger, closer, and faster the better. I'm sharing this with my sister.
2020 TH-cam recommended. Here, watch a 10 year old video of a ship and a wave. We think you'd love it 🤔
Actually I did love it it 😂😂
Right? But it was fun.
same here
Mr. Si Señor 😂😂
I did
I experienced something very similar but more pronounced on the Mississippi River in the 50s from a passing tow boat, it sucked the water away because of the large propellers that at that time were open all around, since then regulations were enacted that required kort nozzles around the propellers to cut down on riverbank erosion, they still move a ton of water though. we had a houseboat and it was totally left dry on the beach and I thought it was way cool, then a couple of minutes later it all came back in a wave.
You can still see this effect on the Mississippi River from passing barges heading upriver, just not as pronounced as this. A barge running hard will drop the river level 1-2 feet.
I was once on a small boat in the lower Delaware River south of Phila, and a real Navy submarine passed by. For such a low river presence, it had an amazing wave, bounced us around a lot more than I expected!
love the little brown boy laughing and playing in the surf
Nice to see sensible people on the water for a change - great video Steve - thank you
This is basically like a tsunami works. It is a long wave length that draws the water out first and then sends it ashore.
Wow, I never would have thought it would suck out the water from the shore like that. thank you for sharing!
I was in the Thousand Islands in a Cove in my boat. A freighter was going by and my boat spun around the anchor line, now the back facing towards the freighter. After it went by my boat spun back around the anchor line back into the Cove. Why does that happen?
That kids havin so much fun over there 😁
I've seen this affect with large barges in the Intracoastal Waterway.
Sea Hog, Ingleside TX, 84
It took me a moment to understand the physics of what was taking place. Fascinating…
I think it's phenomenal how close to 500 people have no idea how a wake works!
Pretty shocking phenomenon. That tsunami was several inches high. I hope the kids were able to move past this.
We will never forget.
joynthis you mean wave lol
Really????
Sadly one life was lost, Kenny forever, right Cartman?
That's no tsunami, it's a wake.
That child is having so much fun!
Dang the captain of freighter appeared to back way off throttle when he noticed boaters on beach. Imagine that with freighter steaming wide open.. Amazing video brother
Amazing-I’ve never even thought of a big wave on the river like from freighter
How did this get recommended to me? Damned TH-cam algorithms...
EVA_Unit_4A woo Algorithm twins
same here
Same but, it is a great video!
Pretty damn crazy a freighter can do that! That takes some serious power if you think about it, the engines in that ship need to overcome that current in that venturi also as well! The water current is picking up at the pinch points and all around the ship to get through it. It's actually amazing how much it really ends up displacing before it goes by ya there! That's a very very cool video and awesome show of physics on a grand scale! Thanks for posting the video! Over here in NY we have some weird stuff happening on the Hudson River where smaller creeks empty into it up state where I am due to the fact the Hudson is tidal. BUT you take the cake on that! Lol!
Check this out. th-cam.com/video/8sEdgHH9F10/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing this. What an unusual phenomenon. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
Loved that little snippet of life, thanks from Manchester UK 🤗
The Venturi effect on the water behaves much like a tsunami. A tsunami does the same with the water being pulled back then comes rushing in again.
All the Venturi Effect States is that when a fluid reaches a restriction it's pressure is decreased with a proportional increase in the fluid's velocity...
Spent a week in a cabin close to the sue locks Michigan. The water thing is crazy. But was crazier when we pulled up beside boat while we where in a 16 foot boat. Their true size of ship almost can't believe they float.
Oh look, it's a little tiny wave, and then "Oh no, the boat's headed out to sea!"
Christopher C that's on the st. Mary's River in Michigan
Al Assmann Cool, never been up that way
An even greater effect when they make the turn by the Sugar Island ferry dock, much narrower .
The captain with the horn is just so wholesome
That kid was way stoked.
I've seen something similar on the gulf coast in Texas except surfers would surf the ship wake. Theoretically they could surf the same wake for several hours. Saw it on a surfing video I believe.
Thanks for posting. Reminds me of life along the coastline.
It's amazing how much water is displaced by a freighter, that just shows the sheer amount of weight it carries by the suckining of the water then sending it back to shore.
This needs to be on the Tv show Outrageous Acts of Science 🔬
we get the same phenomenon on the Mississippi river just no so extreme. I figured it was caused by the displacement of the ship and the props acting like a pump and "pulling" the water. Pretty cool, have fun guys
th-cam.com/video/8sEdgHH9F10/w-d-xo.html
Grew up on an island !
RIGHT❗👌 WATER DISPLACEMENT. I've seen H20 raise/ lower as much as 3 FEET.
What's really cool is in the WINTER months❗
it's fascinating how a human made piece of machinery can alter nature like that, thanks for sharing
That is the longest ship I have ever seen. Amazing.
Never have I seen such a thing. That one boat was flat out grounded. Wow. Good video. Thanks...
welcome!
Yeah amazing looks like my sister at a buffet soup section after she spoons up....
That was actually pretty cool. learn something new everday
It's called displacement. We have the same thing along the banks of the Columbia River, although our freighters aren't nearly that large, but they travel faster with a very noticeable bow wake. You can just watch them break two to three feet for a mile along the shoreline. It's like a mini tsunami.
LaughTooHard displacement is not the issue. It's mostly the power of the engine and a little bit the bow bulb.
I beg to differ. The water the ship displaces results in the lower water level in front of the ship, especially in the case of this video because the ships speed is so slow. As the ship passes the water level rises behind the ship because it's filling in the void left from the front of the ship. The bulbous bow has nothing to do with the equation due to the slow speed and it doesn't displace very much water because it's size is minuscule in relation to the entire ship. The example on the Columbia River doesn't fit this model since our ships are tiny in comparison to this ship. Our waves hitting the beach are much larger based upon wake, not overall displacement. Does that make sense? The engines RPM on a ship that size are virtually nothing compared to open water. At sea this ship would throw an enormous wake while at speed. It's complicated, but I've been around large ships, both in the river, and at sea. It's not a point worth wasting time on.
I am seeing this for the first time.
Amazing.
Never knew such a phenomenon existed
Not one life jacket was hurt in the making of this video.
Bob Kempf only person playing in the water is wearing a life jacket (at the end)
Yeah it was meant to be funny.
Bob Kempf gotcha, it's just that some people seem to think that if your standing in the water you should have a vest on...
Dan Koldenhoven I believe one must be wearing their life vest when the boat is underway... or at least have flotation pillows.
Faith Rada
Flotation Pillows? Like they used to have on Baywatch!?
that lady was on point she loves that boat
not enough to buy a bow line.
self initiative was impressive.
I have personally been thru the Panama Canal and seeing the super freighters and tankers up close is AMAZING. You cannot imagine the size of these ship and looking at a guy in the freighters crows nest is like looking up AT AN ANT. These boats are Amazing. RH
I had no clue a ship that size effected the rotation of the moon. Awesome video does this happens on all the 4th of July's. Dope af thanks.
Lol buddy
you need to get those meds back in use.
1000' Presque Isle tug/barge. One of the biggest on the Great Lakes.
didnt know those ships woild pull the wayer out like that even at such low speed. way cool
what my understanding is they create a pressure wave in front (pushing water ahead of them) and that pushes the water away from the shore creating a "low tide" along it's flanks....once the stern passes, the water behind rushes in to seek level......
Muskoka Mike thank you for the info
@@muskokamike127 I have literally been watching these videos for the past hour trying to figure out why this is happening. thank you sir. not all hero's wear capes
That’s so weird. You would think that it would do the exact opposite because of displacement
Exactly!
A friend of mine wife had an Aunt that lived on Little Neebish and located just down the shore from where the video was filmed, her name was Lois Mason, when she died she willed the place to my friends wife which sold it to a neighbor that is known as "Choppy", He tore the house and other out buildings down. My friend and his wife then purchased a house on Sugar Island their house faces Lake George and is located close to the nature preserve at the north east portion of the Island. I am very familiar with the exact place the video was filmed at,
The yellow and white tri hull is a classy looking girl. As a kid they were the rage and seems like over night folks were trashing the hulls and putting the gear on newer V hull boats. I remember about every time going to the landfill there would be one of those hulls laying alone and all its gear stripped from her.
The Presque Isle! I'd know that behemoth of a ship anywhere
I was fishing near the Gulf of Mexico in a little river or creek. A tanker went by out in the Gulf. The water stopped in the river/creek, started to rise, then the creek changed direction. After a while it stopped again, the water rose, and it went back to flowing the way it was before.
I used to see a similar effect when I worked on Ellis Island . There is a small inlet on the island left over from its immigrant processing days . When large cruise ships would pass by on their way in and out of NY Harbor there would be a very pronounced wave that surged up the inlet and crashed against the wall at the end . I worked there just before the age of the smart phone so I have no footage of the phenomenon to share .
