This video showcases the ships in winter layup in the Ohio ports on Lake Erie.
We start in Toledo, then head to Cleveland, and then Ashtabula before finishing up in Conneaut.
It also includes part of an interview I did with famed boat photographer and publisher of Know Your Ships, Roger LeLievre on the fascination surrounding the boats of the Great Lakes.
Click here to see the companion video that has 1.5 hours of footage of the boats with no narration, only the sound of water and birds:
