Watch and listen as the Paul R Tregurtha pushes her way through the ice in the Soo Lock Canal. The Tregurtha is headed for Duluth and winter layup. 1-14-22
A beauty of a Laker ..... As she shows her strength pushing Through....hard working girl... Love the sound of her engines Humming along....and the crunch Of the ice....beautiful plume from Her stack.. wind whipped and looks Like a floating feather... Nice presentation...thanks!
She has exhaust scrubbers and they remove all the nasty black smoke pollution and leave the steam. Interlake has these on all their ships. No more pollution.
😲😜 probably the reason it hasnt been painted is the cost and it was done not to terribly long ago. Do you paint your car every year or when it gets a scratch?
@@jimlund5022 it's also freshwater so the rust action is far, far slower than in saltwater. I imagine they paint them every other or every 3rd year. It's a lot of lost money to have them out of action.

Spectacular video
Outstanding production.
Goodnight, beautiful! Rest for a while and I’ll see you March 25. I’m living in Silver Bay now and I’ll catch up with you in Duluth.
always astonishing awesome !!!
Have a journey in situe to really live that and measure the infinity of such area ...a dream !
Amazing!
Big ol' girl pushing her way through 🥶!
great video!!!
An empty ship makes the most noise?
wonder what kind of fuel they run on
Stupid question, but are these ocean going or just fresh water?
This one just operates on the great lakes.
There used to be a webcam here that we could watch, can’t seem to find it anymore
Not exactly something you'd use an oar to push away from the dock.
she was stuck in the ice before she went thru the locks, had to wait for a ice breaker to open a path
curious about the white exhaust
Probably crappy ignition of bunker fuel in extreme cold air temps ... ??
Vapor from the steam boilers ?
@@striper37 Thanks EG, never thought of that...hvy diesel would have been black smoke from working hard.
The ships have exhaust scrubbers, they're remove the dirt and pollution from the exhaust.

👍
Look at the ice snot on her bow.
How dignified.
The weather has really turned bad in Duluth-the PTR will have difficulties in docking, no doubt.
Our weather here changes rapidly. She’ll be just fine.
Hopefully the reason that she hasn’t been painted in a while is because she’s soon going to be scraped.?
Uhhh, nope. What an ignorant comment.
She's the Queen of the Lakes. She isn't going to be retired for many years to come. It's a working ship so scrapes are part of the territory.

They usually get painted during their mandatory 5 year Coast Guard inspection
