      Watching the freighters at the Soo is wonderful. When I was there 6 years ago they had the viewing areas and some were enclosed by glass so it help to keep the wind off of you on cold days

    I’ve seen people walking their dogs but this looks like they’re walking a ship down the sidewalk lol She’s a beautiful gentle giant, a veteran serving many years on the lakes.

    The two guys with mooring ropes look like they're taking the freighter for a walk!!!

    They were two of the more beautiful boats to run the lakes.

    my cousin, sara murawski, is one of the two seen in this video, the day she was set to return home, she fell while boarding the ship to get one of her belongings that she had forgotten, she hit her head, was knocked out, and fell into the water, she passed away about three hours later, we had the funeral today.

      I thought that was her walking along the dock. How very sad so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she was loved by many friends and family.

    When you see this don’t you just wish they’d bring back the Ryerson?

      As I was viewing this all I could think of was the Ryerson!

    I wonder what engines power the thrusters, sounded like big detroit diesels of some kind
