"Triple Screw Towboat Ballet at Cairo, Illinois: Convergence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers"
Hideous Horsepower of Three Triple Screw Towboats: Craig E. Philip, Joseph Roy Dee, and the Marquette Mariner
Video shot at Fort Defiance State Park, situated at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Observe the striking contrast in water clarity, with the Ohio River appearing noticeably cleaner on this particular day. While the ambient noise prevented me from capturing audio, the majestic sight of these powerful vessels more than makes up for it. Enjoy the serene beauty and industrial might on display!

Watch the impressive triple screw towboat, "American Pillar," as it pushes 28 mostly empty barges northbound Mississippi River at Thebes, Illinois. Apologies for the occasional shaky footage; I was trying to capture an approaching train in the shot. Stick around until the 2:05 mark for the train's appearance! The audio was recorded from shore.

Captured on a rainy April day, this video shows the Cairo pushing 25 empty barges northbound at Cape Rock Park in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

The Beau Blessey passing the Joe Page Bridge in Hardin Illinois with the swallows just swarming the drone. The swallows make the flight so stressful I just know one is going to get me some day. The phone is recording from the car window near a Purple Martin house and swallows all over.

Ray A. Eckstein pushing 18 northbound Mississippi River at Cap Girardeau Missouri. The audio is from shore and the concrete floodwall kinda screws up the audio for whatever reason.

Просмотров 4,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
This one was pretty far from shore which makes the audio faint and the video was short due to rain. Kinda cool how they keep underway while taking on stores. The boat, one of ACBL’s largest boats on the Lower Mississippi, is a triple-screw towboat built in 1977 by the Nashville Bridge Company, and originally called the Miss Kae D. It was rebuilt in 2010. It is 195 feet by 54 feet and runs on th...

The rain let up for a while so I was able to get this one. I said the name of the boat before I put the phone down to prove it is audio from this boat as well as remember which boat it was lol. The only audio surprise is at 1:06 where the skipper blows the horn for some kids at Cape Rock Park The boat you can see ahead of this one is the Ray A Eckstein.

The Artco towboat New Dawn northbound Mississippi River mile 231 to 232 passing Two Branch Marina and Criminal Island. Audio recorded from shore with cell phone. Kind of amazing how fast the ice can come and go. Just a week ago this area was iced over. www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Portals/48/docs/Nav/NavigationCharts/UMR_new/Chart_118.pdf
Missouri River Ice at the confluence with the Mississippi
Просмотров 8397 месяцев назад
While the Mississippi Rivers ice is being held up by lock and dam 26 the Missouri dumps all its ice into the Mississippi just north of the Chain of Rocks. Bonus footage at the end of the video is the towboat Gerald Majors of the Canal Barge Company approaching lock and dam 26 at Alton, which may have gone unpublished due to lack of enough video and no good audio.

We've had a mild winter so far this season but the ice came fast with these brutal cold temps. Temp was 1 with wind chill of -10 -17C wc -23C this morning. At the very start you can briefly see on the top right 3 eagles and a large nest along with a fox on the ice at Two Branch Island. The audio is from my cell phone on shore. Thanks for watching!

The size of the pilot house !!
Where is this filmed at? I’ve lived on the Miss River all my life never heard of this place
Grand tower Illinois north of Cape and south of Chester www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Portals/48/docs/Nav/NavigationCharts/UMR_new/Chart_142.pdf
Great Video Bowzer can you teach out to me when you can?
I watch tow boats go by this exact spot all the time
This is my dream job as soon as I graduate I’m gonna try and get a job on the boat my dad and grandpa both worked on the boat growing up in grand tower Illinois always seeing boats just made me excited
i worked on this boat in the 90s
Interior, please
It looks like the ferry from the wild west on roblox
1:10 I hear a train
I work for altar I worked on the Jeffrey G I was on the Phyllis when it crashed into the lock song Darbar head and the port head and the thunder string I stopped in lock before it crashed in the lower gate I’d like to have that video
Why do all these videos have some gay ass fucking music I know your pilots think so highly of yourself I was a first mate for 22 years on the boat until I wasn’t able to pass a physical and I never heard any fucking music like that playing on the boat
I never knew they had an ice crusher boat
This is a really cool concept you just flying drones around getting pictures of the river and boats and stuff this is really cool I'm a subscriber now
Thats a really cool drone, I see its not affected much by the wind. Do you have a link where you bought it
Back when I worked on the “Rivers” we only pushed fuel barges. Only 4 of them at a time, but they were larger barges than the dry cargo barges that it pushes now. That was a while back, 1975-76.
You just got a sub!!!
Man I just love them cruisin' it's just cool and relaxing
Beautiful morning. Thank you!
They probably can't dredge it because it is Federally protected. Not sure which President...Grant maybe?
I hear Big Dan is getting a new name
I miss watching the tows at Hannibal.
I wonder what the St. Louis Mississippi river level was on the day of this video? I'm guessing it was a very low level. When we would kayak down the Mississippi we would line up with the water tower on the Illinois side of the river. This would lead us to the top of the main trough of water flowing over the chain of rocks. If the river level was low enough then at the bottom there would be some huge standing waves that you would ride over. I'm not really sure what river level is too low for that route to be safe. At high river levels the river flattens out and the tongue is less distinct. On the Missouri side of the river there were said to be some very dangerous pour-overs that were keepers. People have drowned there. The safest approach was to portage on the Illinois side and walk down the gravel bar.
Check this out it was really low in the minus on the gauge hope the link works waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/07010000/#parameterCode=00065&period=P365D&showMedian=false
@@BowzerTowboats Looks like the river level was around -2.6ft on the day of this video.
THATS MY BOAT lol im on it right now and was interested to see what videos there was of her
Is that 12,000 HP Total?
Very cool.👍
What are the dimensions of barges on the Mississippi, and what is the average draft?
unreal machine
Wish I was introduced to the line haul side so I'd have some cool stories and experiences. But now I like going home everyday after my long days. Been decking with Inland the past eight years out of dupo Ill. / St. Louis. Can't see myself doing nothing else, I love it
There's nothing like the sound of big diesel engines and splashing water.
what this cargo coal iron trash lid
why the hell you push not tow?they enclosed cover low clearance that heavy carrying what ?
GRA 8 ONE, AS ALWAYS. THANX
You have some great videos sir.😄 It's hard to believe that water is so low and yet how high some of the water has been.
I wonder what kind of diesel engine is available here?
XCELLENT !!!!!!
GRA 8 ONE AS USUAL. TANK A U BERRY BERRY MACH
why is the exhaust so prevalent on the tow
love it when you add the classical music to the videos
👍💯👍
That boat looks like it is at full power. Bet it drinks up some fuel.
I'm sure all the flooding upstream in MN and IA is contributing to an extra muddy appearance to the Mississippi
Just like a well kept lady, tall, nice appearance from the front and a nice rear end.
I really enjoyed this video. As a young man who was raised along the Mississippi between Grand Tower and Chester the barge traffic brought back lots of memories. Also, you could not have picked a better waltz to be timed to the dual radar antennas making their sweeps. All of it was very enjoyable! Thanks.
Very nice kept boat with a nice front awning
There’s some hard working boats. Great job, Bowzer.
These are video love letters to our river. Thanks so much, Mr. Bowser!
As always good stuff.
Nice, I bet you are seeing some water down there by now? Sure has been raining here in iowa
Just awesome as always. That's my river...💓 Thanks Bowzer! 👍🇺🇸
excellent
