Skill and professionalism is the only way to describe the Captain and crew's ability to maneuver a 1000 footer during an emergency...
-
The people running these ships are amazing. The Captain turns that 1000 footer like a drift car to allow someone to get critical medical care in a timely manner. Lots of unsung heroes out there. Nice video and back story Paul. Thank you for posting.

I have to admit, I've wondered what would happen if there was an emergency and that bridge was up; happy to learn that emergency personnel, the bridge operators, and the ships' captains have it all worked out. Thank you for another informative video!
-
That was cool seeing the Indiana Harbor turning around in the lake. Nice radio chatter as well. THanks Paul always enjoy these
-
Oh wow! That's freaking long ship! Awesome!

I Was standing under the bridge 8/17/1988 when saltie Bijelo Polje lost her heading in the current and rammed the brand new canal wall. Laker Edward L. Ryerson was upbound in the same area as Indiana Harbor is here. She did basically the same maneuver as well, making a big loop out in the Lake before continuing into the canal, giving the saltie time to back into the harbor out of the way.

I was at Two Harbors Ore Docks on vacaton on 8/27/2011 and saw the Indiana Harbor pull in and load Taconite. It was a gorgeous late summer day and it was fascinating! A great ship and crew! Excellent video Paul - thank you!

As someone said, its a Working Boat, not a Pleasure Craft. Profit is the driving Factor. After coming out of the UK Royal Marines, I did 35 years in Ship Repair Yards and believe me it would cost a fortune to blast and paint that Hull. Its only surface Rust and the integrity of the Steel will be sound. Love these vids and love these mighty work horses of Ships.

Cutting a donut in the lake! Cool! Hope the emergency turned out well. Thanks, Paul.

Quite a crowd. Great piece.

Wow Paul this was amazing, thanks for being there to capture the amazing U-turn 👍👍great work by the Captain 😊⛵️⛵️⛵️
-
Very impressed, as always. Love the horn. Massive! 🤦🏻♀️♥️
-
last one we did this size down in FL with blasting and primer and paints cost roughly $450 a foot… and that was in 1995
-
Hank you for this wonderful Video
-
That ship is moving much faster than I would've thought was prudent. Not criticizing, merely expressing my surprise.
-
Thank you for this great video.
-
That was great Paul! Between the video and radio traffic! Hope all went well! Thanx for sharing 😊

❤ thanks for sharing watched this live and wondered what was up why they turned around. Thought maybe they were training new crew or a pleasure craft made them have to change course.👍🌞
