This is a different kind of video.
It’s focused on the winter layup of cargo ships of the Great Lakes and why it’s needed.
**CORRECTION**
I mistakenly say the M/V James R. Barker was the first thousand foot vessel.
The M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first.
The Barker was the first to be wholly constructed on the Great Lakes.
my apologies for the mistake.
***
You will see plenty of ships on Lake Erie and hear from Eric Peace.
Peace is the VP of the Lake Carriers’ Association.

Peace talks about the maintenance of the ships and the importance of the Great Lakes shipping.
The second half of the video is ships and the sound of gulls.
