At 7:02. HMCS Haida. Some of you will remember the Haida was docked inside Ontario Place in Toronto for decades. You could takes tours of the ship back then. My friend's brother was stationed to a sister ship of the Haida during WWII.
I live in Buffalo and every time I cross the bridge on the QEW, I look and wonder of what Buffalo must have been like during its age of shipping. Gone are the big industries like Bethlehem Steel, Republic steel and all those grain elevators that are empty. Thankful for General Mills and ADM still operating. A comment below about not swimming and drinking the water was a definite problem here back then. Great video to share. Thanks.
I have visions in my head of Buffalo being similar to that of Liverpool and Manchester back in the 60's before shipping stopped going up the Manchester Ship Canal. A lot of the old buildings in Buffalo remind me of both cities in it's current look
Steel "coils". Used to make innumerable number of different products. If a steel product is not cast or forged(or extruded maybe?), it started life in a steel coil and was stamped or roll formed, or some other process I'm not familiar with. And yes there are things like thick plate, beams or rail that might fit into that category. Nice video. Lots of interesting ships. Busy harbor.
Great video,my shop is right next to the Fed Nav dock where the Barnacle was docked. This is an offloading dock where the mostly imported steel comes in. Its the steel that hurts Canada steel, mostly from Asia. I have lots of content of this dock and Ontario shipyards but it is nice to see your quality content from the water.
Hey Nice footage Appreciate the Picture quality What are you using to record any ND filters ? I’m on lake st Clair We get some ships around Detroit River also Massive!!
On the lake around 22-25km/h (14-16mph) from what I've witnessed on Lake Erie and speeds on Marine Traffic. Though I think the overall top speed is 15/16 knots about 30kmh
I've seen several Federal Ships anchored in the Harbour before, I think it was towards the end of the season before they all head out to the St Lawrence and Atlantic for the winter

Nice video thanks for posting. I live in Burlington Ontario and as a ship lover I really enjoyed this video
Thanks Paul, it was a great day to get the footage. Light breeze,.
Hamiltonian here, nice to see the harbour from your point of view though the ships do look banged up. Warning! Do not drink or swim in the water.

Thanks for the additional info.
John, you must be in the metal working industry.

Valletta is Malta. Nice video. I live in Hamilton.
I completely forget to look that up.
Thanks for that info
Hey
Nice footage
Appreciate the Picture quality
What are you using to record any ND filters ?
I’m on lake st Clair
We get some ships around Detroit River also
Massive!!
I'm using GO Pro 10, no filters. Just a little correction in editing.
Now that Clevland-Cliffs owns Stelco in Hamilton, I'm wondering how many more will show
There were 3 Algoma Equinox class ships there today including Bear
good job
Thank you very much
Wonderful video
How fast do those ships go eh
Thx

Did ya notice Florence is missing her life boat
What? I'll have to go back and look. Wow. Well spotted
❤
Valetta Malta !
Federal series of ships at 8:12. One day in Hamilton there were three Federal ships from the same Montreal company.
I've seen several Federal Ships anchored in the Harbour before, I think it was towards the end of the season before they all head out to the St Lawrence and Atlantic for the winter
That’s HMCS, not HMSC😂👍
Typo error lol honest
HMCS Haida. Took part in more sinkings than 99% of all ships on both sides during WW2.
Dofasco not stelco is what your looking at in the end.
Yes, I should of known that as I stated that in the video I did a year earlier.
So.much goes on when I do this and often the mind goes blank
