Yesterday my brother was in Port Huron, MI, and went down to the river. He took some video with my camera of a freighter passing by. I uploaded it to YouTube. Hope you like it. :)

She's a good looker...nothing like we see in the north east of England.

This is the lady my son is currently serving as third officer aboard and is in dry dock for ten days in Hong Kong.

He's promised not to zig zag if he spots a periscope :DL

That would be the Frontenac (http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/frontenac.htm). She's loaded, in that video.

It's only 17 808 GRT, tho. There are much bigger lake boats around, and much, much bigger deep sea boats out there.

There might be bigger out there, but I still try and work out the renown that sinking her would be awarded!:hmmm:
