Ship through the Soo locks in HD 6-9-09
Loading...
Uploaded by pvreditor on Jul 12, 2009
On June 9, 2009, I observed this ship passing through the MacArthur Lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The entire process of traversing the lock takes about 20-25 minutes, and this video compresses it down to about three and a half minutes. The ship is the Robert S. Pierson, a Great Lakes freighter. As the ship was in the lock, an observer asked a crew member what the ship was carrying, and was told that the cargo was coal. The land you see across the river is Canada.
I shot this with my Canon Vixia HF11 AVCHD camcorder.

Thank you for this excellent footage!
Living in Sault Ste Marie/Ontario/Canada (the other side of St. Mary's River) ~ and having been through the Locks (on a Tug & Barge Unit) many times, during my liaison with a Tugboat Captain ~ your film helps me to show my friends and family in Europe just how amazing these locks are!
Kind regards!

@ltuomela I've found that on YouTube, there are lots of people who enjoy a good clear video of just about any process or procedure. Yeah, this is not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for some people. Thanks for stopping by!
