Kiel Canal Transit Movie (IRL)

LiveGoat · 09-22-09, 04:30 PM

Hope this isn't a redundant post but here's a cool video of a time elapsed transit through the Kiel Canal. Pretty cool stuff. After many virtual transits in SH3 it's nice to see the real thing:

Cool. I've made that same trip a few times. (Sitting right here in Dallas). It had some interesting little bits of info. And those ferry captains have nads, don't they?

Thanks for posting that. I thought it was worth the watch.

The Kiel canal still interesting even today...
Thanks for sharing with us!

Most interesting--Thanks!

It reminded me how different is life on a river. (canal, in this case)

Neat stuff!

Some of the ships overtaking (or trying to) looked like slow-motion race cars.

That was pretty cool, wouldn't wanna be in a small sailboat there with all these huge ships plowing on through

Interesting vid.

How about those ferries sprinting between the big ships!

Whoah, major dejavu!! Must be because of the same drunk helmsman I had on board.

Do you know when this video was taken, I may be in a position to intercept.....

Nice vid. Can't say I've done the in game run as I hadn't discovered SH3Commander's time compression tools and couldn't get the TC high enough to skip the boring bits.
