Cool video of Great Lakes Freighter being loaded and passing under Duluth Bridge

[rogerwa]

I found this cool video of a a great lakes freighter taking on its load in a time laspe. You can see the bow thrusters doing their job and I am amazed at the fact that they just load and go.

For those familiar with the Duluth harbor it is cool to see this perspective of passing out into the big lake Superior.

Great video ... there's a lot of nuance that you catch at high speed. Very cool.

Neat video! Interesting hw you can actually see the trim of the ship change as she is being loaded.
Thank you.

Pretty neat...I wonder how fast that little speed boat(if that is what it was) was going that passed to the inside.

I saw that boat sneak through there. Maybe in real life speed it wasn't a big deal, but with the high speed, it seemed like a boob manouver.

Have been on Chinese container ships when my wife worked logistics for Target Corp way back. Had to take your shoes off before entering the living quarters.

Love it. We're up there all Summer on the South Shore. Heading up this weekend as a matter of fact.

Nice shot of the Bong Bridge.
