At least on the Upper Mississippi,the boats that aren't used for harbor work go South for the winter out of the ice to keep working on the Lower and Ohio Rivers. Good video.

It's really nice to see that the Callaway is still on the water after all these years. My father worked on board the Callaway as a 'fireman' back in the 50s, I think not long after she collided with another ship. Thanks for taking the video and for sharing it. Maybe someday I will get to see her in person, so to speak.
