I don’t live near the Great Lakes Region, however I am Fascinated by the OreBoats of the Great Lakes. Their Design is unique, and in my opinion, better looking than regular ocean going ships & other vessels with standard designs.

i wonder if you took a steam engineer from when the bigboy was produced and took them back in time to when this loco was produced would they feel like this loco was slow or would they be ok with it cause of what they were used to

Great and very informative video. Pretty ambitious to lengthen her so much. Of note: 'last victory class ship to operate in the world....' Commercially... There are several in preservation that still operate, going on short excursion voyages.

In the end, Great Lake ships from the SS R. J. Hacket of 1869 all the way to the Algosoo of 1974 have Great Designs. The Pilot House Forward & Engine Cabins Aft arrangement is superior to the current common All Cabins Aft.

Thanks for the documentaries. These are gems of history documentations of Cleveland Ohio. Keep up the good work.

“Unsinkable” “Safest ship afloat” ⬆️ red flag words

I rode streetcars under the Detroit Superior/Bridge (I'll never refer to it by any other name) and it was always a fascinating experience.

Hmmmmmm The Flying Scotsman will have something to say about this.😂

When Chicago and Detroit were invented, Cleveland was bound to fail. Canadian cities Toronto, etc. were coming on hot and a dowdy Ohio city fell by the wayside. Mobsters still sucked on the corpse but Cleveland became "the mistake on the lake".

Thank you for this well researched and documented video about the story of the Pere Marquette 18. The second mate, Walter Brown, was my great-grandfather. At the time the Pere Marquette sunk, and my great-grandfather died, his wife had a 4 year old son, also named Walter who was my grandfather and a 3 week old daughter. She waited for him on the Ludington pier that morning but of course he never returned. I have heard about this story from my mother since I was a child and did more research on it myself, reading several books and online articles, when I got into studying my familiy's ancestry. And, I've shared it with my own children. My son has especially taken and interest in his great-great grandfather Brown's story. Thank you again for telling this story. Linda Avery

Very well done! I live in the Cleveland area--so much history - many of our kids are not learning this in our schools :(

An outstanding work. Thank you to these film makers and documentary writers. Well done.

Another example of the craftmanship of a hardworking era. Applause fo these hardy old girls!

Aliens 👽 definitely

There’s water getting in the boat . That’s knot good

Oh. Tom Johnson was a Democrat/progressive. Interesting history

These are cool machines for sure, but time marches on.

Sad day for U.S. ore mining.

Unless it’s older then the city of trou it’s not true about being the first

Too bad. Unfortunately I don't have enough space in my garden to set it up.

Can we do anything?

Disgraceful.

Where was the Edward l.Reyerson getting unloaded when it was put into service around 2007 or around that time? It needs dockside gear. So does the Sherwin although I doubt it will ever see service again.

I guess it's just me, but it seems a little eerie to take a piece of equipment that was involved in so many people dying and not just destroy it and forget about it.

You should do a documentary on the flour mill in the flats. It closed in 2020. The way they explained it was a mix of covid and a small railcar bridge that brought the wheat in that would cost $750,000 to update. 1635 Merwin avenue. We made white flour for Orlando which has a bakery in Cleveland among many others nearby. As well as animal feed for farms. They used to deliver the wheat by large ship in the early 1900s. Last flour mill along the Cuyahoga river. I was glad to be a part of it. They still have rings on one of the buildings where you would tie up your horse.

Typical Government action these days ! Where’s the Accountability?

Pretty amazing they took on another 30 workers during the depression.

I wished a track stopped there instead of stopping by the browns stadium

They would have likely had a preservation order/grade listing in the UK 🇬🇧 (industrial heritage is often protected as "cultural heritage, so it's sad to see America's forgetfulness 😢)

Just discovered your channel, and it was interesting to find out that this crash happened in Steuben County, where I just moved. Looks like my regional history research has begun!

My dad, uncles and grandfather all worked for Sherwin Williams, just down the block from this "castle"... At least that's what I thought it was when I was a kid in the early 70s... I was in and out of that beautiful building countless times, whenever I "went to work" at the old Sherwin Williams Building just beyond the castle. Speaking of the old Sherwin Williams Building, wow, was that ever a beautiful structure! I remember well the front doors and their ornate grates... One giant door had a wrought iron monkey in a tree on it, the monkey was reaching for a cicada bug in another wrought iron tree on the other massive door. I've always wondered what ever happened to those magnificent pieces of artwork... If I didn't know any better, I'd bet they were just razed into the ground along with the rest of that majestic building. If I remember correctly, I think I was told that those particular doors and many other interior appointments in the old Sherwin Williams Building, were made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. And remembering the "castle" Train Station... Even as late as 1973-75, I remember all of the original woodwork in the building still being incredibly presentable. I wonder what it's like today?

There is so much history in Cleveland. I heard they had a rather busy interurban rail way in its day!

At least one could have been saved. They could have transported it to a park someplace as history. This is how we treat America!

So sad, they didn't keep their word to preserve them.

we will miss them when they are gone and wonder why

The steel industry they served thrived on scrapping too, so they're returning to the system they helped construct.

I was a teen in the 80's and would ride my bike down Wilson Mills to go shopping there, and kill time, on Saturdays.

I used to work ao Colonial Flower Shoppe in the Terminal!

The Farquen--Lee--Chinese Scrap Merchants,- have put a bid on this,--these are the same Scrappers,--who operate in the Pacific,-pulling world-war two wrecks out of the deep,-& have absolutely NO respect for "grave-yards"--you can file "respect" under "How Much" and "Tough-Luck"--these will soon be Chinese-Electric cars !!

My Grandfather and his 3 brothers all worked on the Pere Marquette .God save the Badger!

It would be awesome to see one in person. Here in Central CA there are a few bucket links from the gold dredged that chewed up the rivers in search of gold. Not on the same scale though

Its frustrating. People want to save things but no one wants to pay for it.

If I had the money to buy and maintain it I would make it my home .

There are late 30s and 40s movies that the Hulett were was in, the movie character operated it in the control room that was twenty feet above the bucket with the controls and the operator moved up and down with the bucket . You changed the workers when the retracted to dump bucket into rail cars . I forget the name of the movie lots of actual work shots actors had to learn to operate machine..

I'm in the UK and found out about Hulett unloaders a few years ago and was fascinated by them. Sad to hear they are to be scrapped. One should be saved for posterity, huge thing to move and reassemble though.
