Drone films uniquely designed ferry boat docking
The Chi-Cheemaun in Ontario, Canada is a very unique ferry. The bow is designed to lift up, allowing the vehicles to drive inside to be ferried between Tobermory and Manitoulin Island. The 40km (24 mile) trip takes one hour, forty seven minutes. Powered by twin 3500 hp engines, the ship reaches an impressive speed of 23km/h (14mph).
At 111m long (364 feet) and 19m wide (62 feet), the Chi-Cheemaun has enough space for almost 600 passengers and 150 vehicles.
The name was carefully chosen as a tribute to the Ojibwe people, the largest community of Indigenous people in North America. The name means "Big Canoe". A trip on the Chi-Cheemaun is a memorable experience and a fitting way to see a truly beautiful area of North America.
The crystal clear waters of Tobermory are home to dozens of wooden shipwrecks that lay on the bottom as a haunting memory of more difficult times. Lake Huron was a hub of merchant trade and cargo shipping between Canada and the United States. But, without steel construction and the benefit of weather tracking technology, many of the wooden freighters ran aground during treacherous storms. Their beams are strewn about the rocky shoals. Scuba divers come here from all over the world to explore the mysterious and beautiful underwater ship graveyard. The stories and the physical evidence of the wrecks are as real now as they were more than 100 years ago when the ships sank to the bottom.
The Chi-Cheemaun has been serving the needs of travelers since 1974. Ironically, the ship suffered a catastrophic equipment fire on March 16th, 2020, as this video was under production. The fate of the ship has yet to be determined.
