⚓️Sky Erupts: Lightning & Rain Clash with Crane Ship in Duluth!

You lucky dog. Tou got rain. I was hoping we get some rain. Cool ship by the way.
Nice video Mike, I’ll be heading up to Alpena, MI today to camp out and watch ships pass by. Should be a relaxing time.
I would have been running for cover in terror at the first clap of thunder 😬. You said the ship height was 147 feet and the bridge raised to 135 feet. How did it fit under? Why didn't the bridge dude blow the horn in answer to the ships horn? Why is there an inbound current? Are there tides on the lakes?
"Project cargo" from the CCP. Sounds perfectly fine.
Sweet video Mike. I love these unique salties. This one sort of reminded me of the Scandinavian ships with the angles and high superstructure. At least, I think it was the Scandinavian ships I was thinking of. Anyway, awesome video as always and here's what I found on 'project cargo': I googled "project cargo" and google AI says it is "large, heavy, high value or critical (to the project they are intended for) pieces of equipment. Also commonly referred to as Heavy Lift.
The Challenger video is awesome. The huge cranes were something. First container ship I've watched go thru the Duluth Harbor. You be safe with that t-storm in the area. I had a strike close to me but more on that later. Thanks for the great video. Be safe as always.
I've been keeping track of all vessels around Duluth & in the Saginaw Bay now that I've moved into the bay here... I'll say this vessel is amazing. Salties always look so magnificent and extraordinary, I think its also the fact that.. Atleast for me, I imagine what the ship had to endure out in the ocean just to get here into the great lakes. Tonight its 50°F in the Saginaw Bay in Bay City MI tonight. Tomorrow were suppose to see up to 5-10 foot waves out in the bay here as well.. Not to mention tonight 20knot winds. The Algoma Buffalo & Intrepid is down this way. Though the Buffalo looks like its headed out of the bay tonight.

Wonderful, Mike! Interesting ship and my kind of weather <3
I love rain! Best weather to sleep in. How have you been? I hope you had a great week so far!👍⛴️
So, I has to ask! Have you ever driven across the Aerial Lift Bridge and go BEEEEEEEEEEP Beep Beep with you horn? Enquiring minds want to know! 🚢📯😁
I actually have heard many people do that. I haven’t done it myself.
I love thunderstorm evenings!! This was a wonderful video, thanks for the car ride over the arial lift bridge! A very beefy looking ship for sure with those cranes! Do you think that was the captain outside waving up at the top of the super structure?
Hey friend! How are you doing? There’s a good chance. I will be out there live streaming this weekend. The weather looks like it’ll be fantastic. It’s a time of year here in Minnesota where we can keep the windows open. How’s everything for you? What’s the temperature like right now. I did notice the waving when I watched the playback. He definitely was out there waving.
I’m a retired Coast Guard Officer and I was stationed in Duluth back in 2004. I used to watch these ships coming in and out all the time. Glad I found this channel.
Thank you for your service! It means a lot to me and many others. It’s people like you that served our country that allows me to make videos like this, and others to do what they want too. Thank you!🙏🇺🇸 Do you have any cool stories or experiences during your service in Duluth?
@@revnation_auto We tease you Coasties as Active Duty Enlisted Sailors. Yet, only in gist. I respect The United States Coast Guard Sailors. Bravo Zulu shipmates. Your careers are so exciting.
I think it’s so cool to see the Coast Guard vessels. I really think it’s cool when they break ice. They also put their life on the line. They step up to the plate when anybody needs help and they are in trouble. Big-time respect for the Coast Guard.
Hey boat friend cool video thanks Mike
Mike, I’m glad that you enjoyed this video my friend
Hi Mike! Ed and Marnie from Temecula, Ca. We are now in Iowa but really enjoyed this live broadcast. Thank you for this so we can stay involved with our hobby we love!!!
Hey friends! My friends from California. How’s the weather there in Iowa? I bet it’s cool? It really cooled down in Minnesota and it’s been actually lovely. Having the temperature the way it is right now now. I plan on being on the boat this weekend and possibly will be doing a live stream from the boat.
Dear Mike. I missed your videos for several weeks and is my error. Nice to see you out on a rainy stormy day there in a Duluth, MN. Happy you kept safe and had no gold plated golf clubs with you [a joke i tell my friends here in Arizona during monsoon season]. 14 Knts open water. Can you imagine at 14 Knts through the channel and the wake she'd toss up. She still made good speed through the shipping channel at 8 Knts? Her bow construction screams blue water operation. Mike thank you for braving the foul weather. You ever visit my home State of Hawai'i? I actually looked into visiting Duluth, MN. Pray i can. Lots to visit and affordable. Bravo Zulu Mike!
That is one place I have not been! I want to make it to Hawaii. The beautiful culture, the food, the scenery. I’ve heard so many great things about it. Which island did you live on?
@@vibewithmike E`komo Mai, Mike, Welcome to this place. I was born, raised and graduated on the Island of Oahu. My dad is from Maui in Spreckelsville. I graduated from JB Castle High School in Kanehohe. Mike I took the NCL inter Islands cruise and enjoyed myself. The off coast and in port experiences are worth the cost. Imagine a 1/4 miles off shore experience from an active lava flow?! Overall is no more than 1 or 2 Island visit in costs. Oh...please visit Da `Aina of my home State of Hawai'i, Da 50th. Mahalo Shipmate Mike.
@byronharano2391 i’ve watched so many videos about Hawaii. I really love that place. I really want to visit. Check this out. ruclips.net/video/4N8bT-f9BJw/видео.htmlsi=Tvjrf21fy54bYR1i
Capt Mike ... always a great ride with you! Thanks for the bridge drive, too. That is a really nice, interesting ship ... huge cranes!! Thanks, too, for braving the elements to make this one ... stay safe, warm, and dry!!
I really enjoy those big ships that have the cranes on it. They’re definitely is a variety of ships that come through Duluth. I plan on possibly doing a live stream this weekend.
Thanks Mike! I was born in Duluth in 1951 but live in Vancouver, WA, now. A friend out here told me how intrigued she and her husband are with your posts. Then I told her that I know Canal Park well. I will be back there in late September for a wedding and will definitely go down and take some pics there. She’ll think I’m a rockstar…or something.
That is great to hear! You are arriving in Duluth at the right time. I want you to be prepared for the ships. Here are the two tools that I use to determine when the ships will be arriving or departing in Duluth. Keep in mind, there is no sure thing because of weather, speed of loading/unloading, etc. However, if you use all three of these together, it’ll really help you know what’s going on. Here are those tools. #1 This is updated by Duluth Harbor Cams, this one can be accurate too, however, it’s all about when it gets updated as well. They do a good job. harborlookout.com/ships#0 #2 This will help you determine exactly where the ship is in live time. It’s extremely accurate. The app I use is called “MarineTraffic” and it has a blue ship for the logo. You will really enjoy it! You can research vessel names and follow ships all over the world. You can download it on your Android or Apple phone.
The vibe with Mike, his old-time and real-deal roving reporter style, makes his channel a joy to watch. At 1:29, I appreciated the ride over the lift bridge into the town proper, which gave a glimpse of the city and the enthusiastic crowd.
Anytime I get to think about Arizona. It’s a good thing! I’m a sucker for the Phoenix area. I love Scottsdale, Glendale that whole area. Thank you so much for taking time out of your evening to say something really fun and positive.
Clear 77°? Bossier City Louisiana
That’s literally perfect weather there in Louisiana⛴️👍
@@vibewithmike upper 50s Sunday morning
@michaelstamper3096 OK, definitely jacket weather
I was a little scared with the lightning for all of the people our there!
There was a decent amount of lightning in the area with the ship, but everything seemed OK though
Love it.. Love the train; love the ship, love the ship parade; love the knowledge you impart. Thank you!
What a nice comment! Did you see this ship tonight? ruclips.net/video/R4gBinxuE28/видео.htmlsi=jR3RK2pcIB2Edvv7
Thank you. I have enjoyed your video. I live in Michigan & have been up to the Soo once. I am from Tacoma, WA originally, driving right by Puget Sound daily to work. Miss the open waters where I live now. Just loved this. I will check out your other videos. 😊
Penny, I really want to get to the locks at Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. So many people have been there and told me how wonderful it is to see the ships that close. I really have to get there. How many ships did you see while at the locks?
Thanks! Kinda missed you lately.
You are such a nice person to support this channel! You really are! I definitely will put this towards upgrading some microphones that I need to get and another camera stabilizer. You are a very nice person. Thank you so much. Serious, thank you so much for being part of this channel.⛴️👋👍🙏
looks like a lot of fat people in Duluth..
Another thanks for driving us over the bridge. I'm going to research lightning strikes on ships. They are the tallest metal objects in the vast seas so they must be designed to take strikes regularly.
Bill, thank you for the nice comment tonight. It was my pleasure showing you what it’s like going over the bridge. Also, regarding the lightning strikes on the bridge, I heard they have multiple high points that ground any electrical current.
Thanks Mike, I ❤ your voice and dedication to Duluth I live in New York City and enjoy everything that you do on this channel ⚓️👍✔️
Hey friend! How was your evening going? Thank you for taking time to check out this video. I’m sure you saw this before but not too long ago. I was in New York City and I was at my favorite spot on the roof in Brooklyn. I always go to this place when I’m in New York City. It has the best view of the downtown skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. ruclips.net/video/lqGPbUI_Ygc/видео.html
AMAZING lightening shots!
It definitely was wild to be recording the bridge and see that lightning streak across the screen. It was actually really cool. It was the first time I’ve ever recorded ships and had lightning in a video like this.
Thanks for this. LOVE LOVE Duluth!
Robert!!!!!! I really appreciate you stopping after watching the video to leave a nice comment like this. You definitely definitely are a nice person. Thank you so much for being so positive.
Great boat. One day I'll be in Duluth.....
I loved the ride across the bridge. And, that you captured the lightening in the video.
Kathy, did you notice how unique that noises coming from the tires as I go over that metal bridge?
Captured the drama!!! Had a bit of frost for overnight. Just to remind us.
Oh my goodness! We both know the real frost is coming soon in the Midwest
Cool looking ship. A new one for me. Containers on board. Thanks for braving the rain.
I really enjoy seeing some of these oceangoing ships because they had so much character and a very unique look to the Duluth Harbor. I also like seeing those big cranes on the ship. It was so fun watching the ship and that weather.👍⛴️
Hi Mike! That's a really cool ship! It looks a little small at first but going past shows the power and grace. A real workhorse. Good job dodging the lightning! Stay safe❤❤❤
Susan! Let me first tell you, thank you! Thank you for being a channel member. Thank you for supporting the channel. It was really fun recording that storm with the lightning and thunder with a ship. That’s the first time I was able to get lightning recorded with a ship. I’m gonna be doing live streams coming up so get ready my friend👍⛴️
Hi from Grand Rapids Michigan
Hey Mary! How’s everything there in Michigan today? Is the weather as beautiful as it is in Duluth today? I know it was raining in the video because it was a few weeks back. I like this time of year where it’s a little cooler and you can keep the windows open. Thanks for watching the ship.👍⛴️

@maryreed5820 that’ll work, think of what it’s coming in the next few months. Serious, thank you for taking time out of your night to leave a comment. It’s very nice of you. I wish you a fantastic weekend, my friend.⛴️👍
Thanks! Again for a GREAT video always appreciated what you do !
Jeremy! What a nice person you are! Thank you so much for supporting this channel. I have a lot of fun things in the mix coming up for all of us. If things work out with the schedule, I’ll be doing a video from one of the ships this weekend. From the deck by the way! It’s really nice of you to support the channel like this. Serious, have a wonderful Friday, you really put a smile on my face. I promise I’ll have your back when it comes to these videos moving forward.👍⛴️
Just want to say thank you for taking the time and being out in the elements to bring us the ship videos. Always so interesting and love being back in Duluth. Many thanks.
Amy, I think it’s really cool that you took time out of your night to leave a positive comment like this. Thank you so much. You are a very nice person and I hope you keep coming back and being part of this channel!👍⛴️

Mike---we arrived in Duluth from NW Missouri this afternoon, Fri. Sept.7th. Will be here until Wed. Hope to see you while we are here, hanging out around the lift bridge. Great evening out here right now---6:30 pm.
I have a feeling you will be seeing my boat in the canal over the next few days. Look for that blue boat with the blue flag. I’m so happy you made it to Duluth. You have marvelous weather as well. Did you know there’s a ship leaving right now? Bridge is up right now. 6:37 central time.
Where was the bridge response? Did I miss it??
@StephanieBenner-tj3xd when I listen back to the video I didn’t hear it either. I can’t believe that I edited that out. I don’t think I did, but there’s a possibility.
Hey Mike - you do such a great job with these videos. A little oops is bound to happen once in a while! 😉
@StephanieBenner-tj3xd have a great night.
I wonder if the lift bridge operator gets nervous when all that lightning is going on?
I heard that the lift bridge actually has a grounding system if it does get struck by lightning. That electrical current will go right to the ground. However, I really like your question about this to get us all thinking. It absolutely can’t be fun being in that small little house on a metals object when there’s lightning.👍⛴️
Hello Mike Gerald from WV. want to thank you again for all you do. I should have moved there than to these wonderful mountains. Again thank you and have a great night
Hey Gerald! If you ever do move from West Virginia, we will welcome you here with open arms in Duluth👍⛴️
Thanks for braving the thunderstorm to bring us a really neat video! Cool when you drove across the bridge. Like the extras like showing the weather! Little kid came out in you as you splashed thru the puddles!
Absolutely, the kid came out in me with those weatherproof boots and a big puddle. I knew I had to jump in it. I will take all of this rain over a lot of snow though. So I was OK and I stayed pretty dry.👍⛴️
Oh, you're like a happy little duck walking through the puddles in your galoshes! And how about that lightning! 🌩 Happy Friday! 😅
The lightning and thunder was pretty cool during the ship arrival! I had those waterproof boots on, so I had to walk through that big puddle
The sun shining through in the east in the evening is pretty interesting! Loved all the water reflection too. Nice crowd as well! Great video, boat friend!
@DressyBessie I love seeing how things look in the reflection of water
7:52 I liked this shot in the video
I’m glad that you enjoyed the video my friend
Nice catch- not real keen on people standing in water with lightening in the area-be safe!
This definitely was a fun ship to record
I can’t say it enough. Another fun interesting great video. Thank you and most importantly your and your efforts are very appreciated
Thank you so much for the positive comment on a Friday night. I look forward to live streaming and ships possibly this weekend.
Thanks Mike, I did not know about the Inbound/Outbound current lights!!! This brings rain or shine to a different level (Although I would see it too lol) The BBC Challenger was a different type of ship I have never seen, Thanks for sharing!!!
Hey pal! There you are! I know you love the ships like I do. Yes, there’s the red, yellow, and green lights. I always look up to see if they are illuminated. I’m really glad that you enjoyed this video. It’s such a powerful cool looking ship.
This was really fun!! Sure wish you would send some rain my way. We are so dry!
I have to tell you, Peg, I actually stayed pretty dry because I had all that rain gear on recording the ship⛴️👍
Great Video Mike of Unique Salty. Sure sits high. Thanks for braving the weather and bring us another great view of ship. Have a great Weekend. 👍⚓
It definitely was a unique ship! I like these ocean going ships. They make it fun to watch because of those big cranes.👍⛴️
Mike, outstanding Video, was that a first on the channel you driving over the Bridge? During my time in the USA Niagara Falls was the most north western point I made it driving from Boston, and realizing that you are another 900 miles or 1450 km away from Niagara Falls, man! Other places I have been to after leaving the USA like Excelsior Springs in Missouri are only 570 miles or 910 Km away. It just reminded me of the size of the USA. All the best!
Absolutely fantastic comment! I really enjoyed this one. I know other people will enjoy it as well. Thank you for putting the time in and giving us something. Fun to read. You have a great Friday night. You deserve it. Thank you for watching the ship, my friend.
Note the three flags: US of course for local port, Red and White (Hotel-Pilot Aboard), Yellow- (Quebec, Health Issue aboard or other similar meanings)
I’m glad that you pointed this out Jerry! I’m gonna remember that flag moving forward
