Mississagi Runs Aground In The Holland Canal

Got up to Holland at 11am on December 22nd and waiting for the Mississagi to come in. About 30 minutes later she is about 100ft from the end of the pier and I set up my tripod and camera, as she is coming in I see a lot if sand being pushed up. About right in the middle of the canal she starts to slow down very quick, about 5 minutes into recoding she stops. Looking at the back of the ship you can see all the sand being pushed up and the front of the ship is higher up. That means she run aground in the canal. I have never seen a ship run aground and it is crazy how fast they stop. Luckily for the ship, it was able to back up, hug the side of the canal and go on in.
This is one of 3 videos I got on this day, the next video will be the "Alpena Up Close And Personal" which was taken in Muskegon.
Also, be prepared for new videos from the Soo, I am going on a trip to watch ships come in before the locks close.
Hope you enjoy the video
