⚓️Ship's Emergency Turn: Algoma Conveyor Aborts in Duluth Fog!

The 740-foot ship "Algoma Conveyor" arrived from Lake Superior fully loaded with salt! Boat Friends, I have never recorded an emergency turn from a big ship in Duluth until today! The fog was very dense on Lake Superior, so I knew it would be a fun video to record of a ship in the fog. However, I didn't know it would turn into a potentially dangerous situation.  As the ship approached the Aerial Lift Bridge, I referred to the vessel as a "ghost ship" because it appeared out of nowhere from the fog. At that moment, I heard a transmission on my marine radio between the Aerial Lift Bridge and the captain of the ship. The bridge operator informed the ship that an emergency vehicle had to go over the bridge, so the ship was forced to abort the arrival and make an emergency turn back out to Lake Superior! This is because the bridge wouldn't be up in time for this ship! I recorded the emergency vehicle with its lights flashing and siren blaring going across the bridge. I also recorded the ship making the turn as it quickly aborted! The ship did eventually turn back around as you will see from different angles but it definitely was a dramatic situation for a few minutes during this video. The ship passed under the Aerial Lift Bridge surrounded by fog and provided a single loud horn blast, but not the standard captain's salute that we typically hear from ship horns. I was impressed by how fast the captain reacted to the emergency situation and how quick he turned that big ship at the last minute, especially with little visibility out on the lake due to fog.  This goes to the captain of the Algoma Conveyor! I want to say what a great job of being prepared for a situation like what occurred today. You made the turn quickly and in very bad conditions from a visibility standpoint. You are a true professional! You might say it was a standard situation but that is your years of experience on the water and proven leadership talking. You stayed very cool under pressure. Job well done my friend!
