Who else falls asleep to this guy's videos? Not because they are bad...in fact I love them and watch every single one but his voice is so damn soothing and calming that I can't help fall asleep to it😅
@ right? Especially the age of quite a few of said freighters. A collection of them have been on the lakes for roughly 60-70 years. Think of how many crews have come and gone. Just amazing.
I consider myself fortunate to have been born & raised in Michigan The Lakes are awe inspiring; Michigan & Superior in particular but they’re all huge, even Erie & Ontario
Such a terrifying video. The frozen duck hunters preceded the marine tragedies. I am at a loss for words. So many heroes went down w the ships.🚢. We will never know of all the individual struggles on Lake Michigan.
I live in Denmark and have never been to the US (probably never will, either ) I'm really fascinated by the stories of these great lakes freighters! Thank you for making and sharing them, with us :)
I’ll tell ya what… growing up in the Great Lakes region (nw Ohio) my family was lucky enough to have a nice boat and we’d go out a few times a year for walleye on Erie and nothing makes you pucker quicker than storm clouds forming out of no where when you’re 20 plus miles out into the lake. Had a few close calls over the years. It’s crazy how quickly it can go from flat calm to 6-10 foot waves in a matter of minutes.
I am so thankful for Big Old Boats for producing these very well made videos. I am binge watching them now as I try to recover from a bad chest cold. I especially like the Great Lakes Shipwrecks videos as I am going to retire there in a year, near the Keneewaw Peninsula. They put you into the shoes of these men earning a living on the lakes, which you add a very personal touch to . The stories of the men who perished stand as a testament of their hard work and that their lives were not wasted. Thank you.
Fun fact from growing up within waloimg distance from the shore of Ontario in Oswego NY: a great warm, dry summer is almost always rewarded with a nasty hard cold snowy winter. If summer sucks and is wet and cool, winter will prob be mild.
I've really enjoyed the compilation videos, especially because they are great lakes related. I can turn on the videos and listen while I work for long periods of time. Thank you!
Amazing quality and photos you got here brother. Its always a pleasure to watching and re-watching your stories of the great lakes ship wrecks. I personally cant seem to get enough of them.
For me, I absolutely love the aesthetic of the older lake freighters. I know, its not needed now, and honestly its almost certainly a safety hazard, but the look really is so iconic.
Thank you for this wonderful story about greed on the great Lakes despite the Gales of November. This was very well done, and I learned much . RIP , the many men lost in these disasters 👏
I really enjoy all your videos, especially enjoy the ones covering the Great Lakes I have gained a real interest in the Great Lakes maritime history thanks to you.
Shoot, just a couple months back a teen boy off California's coast was saved by an ice chest cause his family crab boat capsized and sank. He was the only survivor. All oceans are dangerous, but the Pacific is so much calmer than the Atlantic. Yet it's "good" season still destroyed a family
Awesome! A good morning to all! I wanted to show support so I went through the comments and gave them all a like 👍🏽. Thank you so much! The photos of these vessels are amazing. Thanks to you they are not forgotten. 🌹⚓ Salute!
Two of my grandma's brothers died in the Armitstice Day storm, just feet from home. They set up a guide rope from the barn to the front door but still didn't make it.
@maryeckel9682 It was, she talked about it until the day she died. That was an amazing storm that ruined many families when they lost their livestock (which was basically their life savings). Terrible, terrible storm.
Wow, they were lost DESPITE a guide rope?! Unless the barn was a long way away from the house, I suppose that thing must have been an insanely-cold and windy storm! Where I am is set to get an 'Alberta Clipper' with a good amount of lake-effect snow and plenty of wind, sooo this story reminds me to be sure to bring a real jacket when I drive tomorrow!
@EShirako Yes, it was very cold, and the snow was so wet and so deep. They had to use guide ropes during the dust storms as well and lost many cattle, their nostrils and noses would be packed with dirt. People just couldn't catch a break back then, it was probably worse for them than the pioneers. Probably the most interesting American period.
My great great great great (perhaps one more great) grandfather died in what I believe was the storm of the 1940s, but on Lake Superior. I can’t remember the name of the ship but it’s at the bottom still to this day.
If it's that many greats I wouldn't be shocked if it was more great storms of the 1900s-1910s, or even the earliest known ones in the 1880s, really. Either way, sorry for your family loss. He clearly laid a lineage though and that's the biggest success a man can have
People think that the Great Lakes are not as serious as the Oceans. But Oh those people are Wrong. The Great Lakes are just as, if not more serious than the oceans Also, think of all those Beautiful lake freighters, lost to the lakes, and all those lives lost for No Reason.
At least it really was not for no reason. They did set out with a goal. And a monumental one given the great north's devastating winters. Unfortunately they just couldn't complete it cause the treachery of our inland oceans.
One thing that I have always enjoyed is a good story, a good storytelling, and a good storyteller. I have come to thoroughly enjoy this channel and yes of course I have subscribed and yes I do give thumbs up. I love the research, and I love the approach that reverence that you give and the obvious due diligence that you put into your research. But the respect that you show most of all is definitely most resounding and it is truly is a wonderful thing here and I just after listening to this one as well as your video on the storm of 1913, the storm of 1940, the one about the Kamloops ET cetera. I have just fallen in love with this channel and I just wanted to say thank you. When you put the human factor in with this that in itself gives this all the credo it can be Lent. This isn't just simply a channel about boats, but it's also about the human struggle and human perseverance and it's also about a way of life that you have somehow shown me and with the imagery that you put in with it I have just fallen in love with
Great Channel! Love the content, even though I'm not very nautical. Infantry rather than the navy. The Hibou was wrecked in a storm on Georgian Bay, off Vale's Point. My Great Granddad was the fireman and, along with the ship's cook, went down with the ship, as the steward drowned after entering the icy waters. My Greet Grandmohter was tending WWI wounded when she heard of the tragedy as the cry went out for volunteers to help rescue survivors. She is mentioned in a poem that was composed by the Poet Laureate of Canada at the time which is contained in our National Archive. It would please me a great deal if you could post the story of The Hibou on your channel. Wishing you peace, health and success. Thank you.
At this quiet time of year, some people revisit Charles Dickens, but I'm happy with this. Repeating these shows give support to the families and remind the companies not to push into these storms.
I live on the NW shore of Kelleys Island facing Perry's Monument on Put In Bay. I can't imagine winds like that here! I experienced 62 mph gusts out of the NW last week and it was scary! Hope that type of weather stays away for a long, long time!
All your videos are terrific. Really enjoyable. Two quick points on section on the No. 2 loss. There are two common repeated historical errors. The men on the Black later recanted sighting the No. 2 outside Conneaut harbor. Captain Murdock Rowan of the No.1 also disavowed searching for the No.2 having abandoned his trip and sheltering at Port Rowan. Fantastic video.
Came here to say that. Glad I was not the only one to know this. I would honestly love to look into that and see what’s the real science behind that mindset
"Brick dust" in the east in the Atlantic often is a possible indication of incoming n tropical weather as it moves east to west (in general) and if you see it westward it's moving away from you
"November Witch"... there's a good little piece on the Fitzgerald sinking by Caitlin Doughty, can't remember the exact video. Also, thanks for such a great vid! Genuine and intelligent, and a real human voice is appreciated!
Good story telling. Thx. If ship owners were held legally accountable and had to bare total financial liability for the fates of their ships and crews, these wrecks wouldn't have happened.
Take this with a grain of salt. Back then if you didn't work, you didn't eat. Granted yes, corporate greed played a roll. People then didn't have the options like today. Even the crew members "greed" could be factored in to some degree too. Not to mention that after years and years of runs with little to no problems can create a bit of an "invincibility complex" in not only Captains, but crew as well.
The number of times we hear of ships put out on water for one final run and more than likely to return shows that the owners just learn from past losses. Profit over the lifes of the crews.
My friends call me the 6 Lakes tragedy, because I puked so much that 6 tiny lakes formed on the way to the bathroom! I’m lying obviously, I don’t have friends. I watch hour long videos about boats in youtube.
Great video as always, educational entertaining, only thing I'd add is the picture you used as an example for the Daniel j Morrell was not the michipicoten it was in fact the Townsend sinking during its scrap tow in the Atlantic, but still it is a great example of what it'd looked like since it's her sister
I believe that the owners of the shipping lines in 1913 did not care about the safety of their vessels and the officers and men ; all they cared about was the bottom line. They cared about profit In making the last run of the season, because of that, many boats were lost along with their crews. Case in point: two boats stand out as an example of this: the Charles S. Price and the Regina lost in Lake Huron. Frankly, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes at judgment time: They will be on a one way.trip to the lake of fire. I would like your input about this issue.
Recurring trend. Greedy owners (who don’t have to sail themselves) pressuring captains/crews to make one last run to make a bit more money. Safety be damned.
Any run in November is pure money. Lots of money. Any run in November is full of Danger. Lots of Danger. The owners aren't on those boats. They dangle $$ in front of these guys and they "knows a guy that knows a guy" so that IF the witch claims the ship, they can count on any investigation being shown NOT to be the Company's fault.
So one witness said the whistle was so close, it sounded like it was on shore, but couldn't see anything in the storm, yet the woman could clearly see the marker lights to the point she could tell the direction. Pretty sure she's full of it and the ship was never there.
6:37 is that definitely right? 65F is 18C (mild and pleasant) whilst 10F is -12C (very dangerously cold). Did it really change that much so quickly? That's frightening! :O
One accident with a car ferry, but it seems that car ferries did not has that many accidents? Compared to the transport ships were quite a few sunk during the decades?
I can almost guarantee before this century is done - and possibly before the decade’s end - a “one last run before the season ends” will result in another ship sinking.
I keep seeing you in these comment sections with totally uninformed and grim predictions. Since the Fitz there hasn’t been a significant casualty and total loss of a ship. Safety standards and USCG Port States are more frequent and have stringent requirements. If you don’t know anything about the industry, don’t speculate that there’s going to be a disaster. It’s almost like you want it to happen by reading your other comments, for “more content.” It’s sick. These are people’s lives and livelihoods. Enjoy the documentary and stop.
@@thomas1910 I know human nature. I also recognize a prejudice against the past when I see it. Saying I want an accident to happen is just psychological projection on your part. Also, go look up the _USS Michipicoten._
Who else falls asleep to this guy's videos? Not because they are bad...in fact I love them and watch every single one but his voice is so damn soothing and calming that I can't help fall asleep to it😅
2nd night I’m listening to this. Perfectly interesting and calming.
Using this to fight pre-surgery pain. And it works.
I could too
except for the damn incessant advertisements
I made it half way through last night, fighting to stay awake because his videos are so good. Back at it this morning to finish it up 👍
I just commented using those same words. Calm and soothing.
The stories of the lakes and the freighters that traversed and continue to traverse them will always be fascinating to me.
@@garbagebanditdayz819 It's amazing that we have something like that in our continent, landlocked.
@ right? Especially the age of quite a few of said freighters. A collection of them have been on the lakes for roughly 60-70 years. Think of how many crews have come and gone. Just amazing.
You need to traverse your way to a thesaurus
You got me there, pal.
I consider myself fortunate to have been born & raised in Michigan
The Lakes are awe inspiring; Michigan & Superior in particular but they’re all huge, even Erie & Ontario
One last run. So many of these stories start that way.
Famous last words!
Famous last words!
If there was a great lakes shipwreck bingo, it'd be the free space.
The stories *end* that way... they had a long and industrious history before their final run
Seems most of the accidents happened because the ships sailed to late in the year! It seems most accidents happened in november, but very few earlier!
Such a terrifying video. The frozen duck hunters preceded the marine tragedies. I am at a loss for words. So many heroes went down w the ships.🚢. We will never know of all the individual struggles on Lake Michigan.

Always the final run....that proves to be final.😢

Two solid hours of expert narration. So full of information. I appreciate the film footage.

Thanks for the content
Well done sir!
Saul on and savor what we can - well said & great video Thanks God bless
When the boss asks you to do one last run before the end of the season just say NO!!!!!!!!

30,000 lives lost to the Great Lakes. So sad.
I have a physical copy of ghost ships of the Great Lakes that I bought I think a year or two ago. Funny to hear it brought up. It feels very niche.

My grandfather survived a ship sinking in that storm
12:06. 👽 Coming out the storm cloud
Grandpa was out duck hunting south of St. Paul that day. A few months later, he was killing Japanese in the Pacific
Its too bad about the oil can, it could maybe have been used to make a small fire to keep them warm
Recurring trend. Greedy owners (who don’t have to sail themselves) pressuring captains/crews to make one last run to make a bit more money. Safety be damned.
Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning!
I am totally lost...is this separate storms or separate events of same storm ?
Separate storms at different times on different Lakes.
Red sky in morning, mske a run for the stores before the weather sends you there
Is it just me or is the volume on this one a touch low?
Any run in November is pure money. Lots of money. Any run in November is full of Danger. Lots of Danger. The owners aren't on those boats. They dangle $$ in front of these guys and they "knows a guy that knows a guy" so that IF the witch claims the ship, they can count on any investigation being shown NOT to be the Company's fault.
Funny image of B-roll depicting Dennis Hale and his crewmate driving to Ontario @31:44. Clearly a logging road.

Second time watching this but a hour in i realized " that morning it was 42°F then it plummeted to just 10 degrees above freezing" so 42°?
Who knows? Mother Nature is very unpredictable and can be vicious.
NDE, you have to go back.... I nearly drown as a child. Not sure where I went but someone said those exact words to me and I coughed up water.
That Neckbeard was FIERCE, that guy would be given the Crown of the Incels if he were around today.
42 degrees and 10 above freezing is the same thing.
