This channel is focused on Great Lakes ship traffic videos, primarily recorded at Duluth, Superior, and Two Harbors in both daylight and nighttime settings. I attempt to show multiple angles of vessels with an emphasis on ambient sounds. No narration or music is included so you can enjoy the natural sounds. Occasionally I will include radio traffic from the ships to add an extra dimension to the audio.
Videos are generally uploaded 3-4 times per week, usually in the afternoon (CST). Details about each ship are provided in the video descriptions, along with information about their cargoes and their journey (if that information is available).
