Raw Video: Ships Stuck in Icy St. Lawrence River

[wilmslowforlife]

someone has to go behind it and give it a push haha

[MrMaypole14]

As long as they have heat, food and bathrooms that would be fun!

[Batsenl]

Lets take a crouse.... @ minus 30 degrees lol

brrrrr

[rustohiski]

This is not a cruise ship, but a 1973 built ferry.

[zithium]

Why the fuck would you go on a cruise in a frozen river?

[BrownDog12311]

I love how the other ship @ 00:20 just goes past the ship thats stuck like "HAHA FUCKERS"!!!

[sulloollus]

i wanna know who the hell would take a thousand islands cruise in the middle of january?

[MrQuebec]

It is in MATANE not Mantane,

[Rimouski418]

Haha... I've worked on those two ships (Camille-Marcoux and CTMA Vacancier)

[onemustaskwhy]

this is the worst video ever!

[seanjasonwade]

I love working on the St Lawerence - in the summer!

Winter on the St. Lawerence can be brutal; especially up by Sept-Isles.

[superdavid002]

I mention the St. Lawrence Seaway in The History Song.

[zeekwolfe]

Shame on the St. Lawrence river for freezing in such a sold way. It just doesn't know how to cooperate with the global warming types.

[lpv1899]

I use to know a man from Matane.Hillaire Journeau was his name.He was working at the time for my father's uncle at Verreault navigation and started a ship business on his own afterwards.

[matapan50]

Thats unbelievable; does the St Lawrence R. freeze like this every year?

[blazingangel175]

Oh yeah, lots of rivers.

[matapan50]

Damn that is crazy. Here in Southern California it's a big deal when our rivers actually have water in them.

[smallvile1992]

yea, pretty much

[maxwell308]

yes

[Eaglets1]

Usually in january and february the ferry is closed and yes every winter it freeze up to a certain point.

[bagoge2]

lol its matane not mantane

[CoastGuardD]

Having worked on the Terry Fox I can tell you that the vessel was built for Arctic oil exploration.

The vessel actually at the end of the summer / fall season, the vessels systems would be winterized in the ice up North and left in the ice all winter in the Arctic. More or less turn off the lights and heat, lock the doors and leave her unattended until the Spring. In the Spring the Engineer's would arrive and get all of the ships systems up and running.

[thetrucidator]

The blue hulled ship is the NM Camille Marcoux which is perfectly designed for the area where it operates. The white ship is the CTMA Vacancier which is a large passenger ferry that operates between montreal and Iles de la Madeleine but in winter time it goes to Matane instead of montreal. The red one is the CCGS Terry Fox which is used as an icebreaker but was designed at the origin as a offshore supply boat. The Terry Fox is not an appropriate escort icebreaker.

[melmothd]

does that mean that the engines froze? How can the ice be so strong to keep the ship from going anywhere? can an expert please reply?

[jimmyc00l]

the ice is that thick that it stops the ship moving.

[dtaijo174]

It's gotta be all this Global warming! Kill everyone that's breathing!

[CheekyMonkey888]

This global warming is killing us, does Al Gore have a 1-800 number where we can call for his help, or should we just flash a light in the sky, maybe in the shape of a giant donut?

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Ironically some of them are shipping ice cubes.

[melmothd]

haha!

[santareina2000]

Um, AP I believe that's Matane, not Mantane.

[TraderNorton]

Load that ship full of niggers...and then sink the fucker.

[salemrush]

I am closing in on you

[TraderNorton]

lmao!!

[salemrush]

You are actually not a bad person, less than a man after all.

why don't you try and establish at least real honest cyber friends then work your way up to true friends and stop being a Neanderthal idiot?

We will forgive you and excuse you.

Plus the Chicks are hotter on the Love side than your Hateside.

Dig, Fool?!

[TraderNorton]

Fuck you and your petty "forgiveness"

Now go back to watching your ACLU videos....

[salemrush]

Well I guess then it's lick my balls you worm turd.

You're not a man. you're not a mouse.

You're a worm turd and a punk coward

[phonixwk79]
