6 years later and I'm over here saying "come on, come ON, COME ON just make it!!!!!!!!"

Shout out to those submerged diesels bringing it home for a win!

And, that's why, ladies and gentleman, he's the captain.

That's the maritime equivalent of "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing"!

I am totally impressed. That boat was actively sinking, and she would have been very difficult to maneuver. She came in so smooth and evenly, you could believe it was all intentional. Super good job to the crew!

quick thinking for the captain.. great job....

That's his living he did everything he could do to save it, bless him and his family

That was awesome, I have never seen anything like that in my life. Great video

Glad the boat made it. Who wants to see a man's boat and livelihood lost in front of his fellow fishermen.

glad to see all safe, lost friends on the 1987 sinking of the Lobster boat 'Reliance' out of Newport, Rhode Island

Beautiful maneuver, hats off to the captain and his crew!

Look at her pushing on...old girl!

Amazing Job By The Skipper And Crew! He comes ripping into the harbor and never misses a beat getting to the ramp!

im actually crying after seeing this...what an amazing job omg this is just such a great video..

"where's he going..... The bottom" made me laugh!

Hats off to the Captain with nerves of steel who kept calm and brought home the bacon !

Amazing that the engine was still running! What a great save!

Damn fine job to run it aground, lightly, at a boat launch. Fully saved with no panic. Good men aboard.

Here i am, 7 years since the video was published and i'm still silently yelling "GET HER ON THE RAMP". ---w---

A couple of years ago my engine room filled up with water on my 36 ft. gillnetter , just between the Dundas Islands and Port Simpson B.C. ..my john Deere engine was completely under water ..my turbo for my air was above the rear of the engine ..so it gave my deck hand time to try to get it pumped out. After using a 5 gallon pail ..my deckhand had four other bilge pumps that I was too lazy to throw away ..all worked that day..my gillnetter came close to rolling over.. We got her pumped out and made it home under our own power ...yeah , those guys were lucky the bull works never gave way.

wow. he did the only thing he could've ramming it onto the boat ramp. good job and nerves of steal!

that's quick thinking

That was immediately my thought.......... ground it...... as best you can. Some one didn't want to lose their boat. Good man.

Atta boy Capt... nice landing

Great captain

I kept saying "find a beach. Skipper!" He did one better and stuffed her on a launch ramp!

Wow. Great thinking and lucky he was close enough to docking that he could make it before she went down.

Wow!!!!! Glad everything worked out the crew is fine and the boat well she deserves an overhaul for that job well done 💪💪

Great job, Captain! Never give up!

One Bad Ass Captain at the helm of that boat. 😁👍

Reminds me of the "Orca" when Jaws jumped on it and ate Quint

That may be one of the most heroic things I've ever seen!

Who else has forgotten to put the plug in at boat ramp ? But hey I remember to load the kids and sandwiches.

great job , this capitan is amazing!!!

Thankfully the made it.

He caught so many fish it practically sank him.

Hey, he got it back to the dock. Could've ended a lot worse.

I just love this video . Absolutely remarkable

Good work Captain...

Only a few steps away from the French Creek Pub! He'll probably need one or ten after this!

Yay thanks for the stress load right before the holiday weekend

Wow...amazing job!! That boat looked like she had some get up and go left in her!! She might behold, but she sure is cute with her front end out of the water like that

Nicely done captain. Nicely done....

She sank at her mooring in Steveston BC this winter and is hauled out at the Trites road boat yard now. Not sure if it will be saved or sent to the wrecker

Great work...bòat can be better assessed when the tide goes out under the vessel, though may damage some structures. Wonder if he had catch on board? And wonder further if there were emergency high capacity pumps operating or on board.

Even when sinking, she never gave up and made it back home! Atta girl!

Pretty smart move on the captain's part very cool.

Great job getting it to the ramp!!!

Nice work Cappy great save!!

Nice work from a fellow tow boat Capt

Quick thinking by the captain great job great driving perfect plan save his boat 🇺🇸

when Herring fight back....to be continued.....!!! ;-)

Nice! Great work by the skipper 👍

That sinking feeling. Literally!

Now thats a captain who loves his boat👍🏾

Incredible... Good job Skipper!

Nicely done Cap.

The stern was underwater the whole time! It’s a miracle he made it to the ramp. The engine room must have been watertight (???) amazing luck.

Good work skipper!

Now that was a smart captain..Kept it from totally si king by running it on. Ground...bravo

❤i worked on boats like that coming home fully loaded with shrimp and from long lining i miss those day's ❤❤❤😂❤

Great job captain!!!!

Was he getting that "sinking feeling"

Now that's true captain skills right there ! Bravo !

Nice job Captain!!

good thinking! rear plank(s) popped off no doubt, so if fish on he made it by a whisker! :)

did someone forget to put the drain plug in?

Awesome! He beached his sinking ship on the boat ramp!

That's overloading an old boat and lots of fresh water around.. I worked on this boat when it was a dragger in the 60s.... I was also stationed at French Creek as an engineer on the Cape Cockburn. Best job ever!

Never give up. Love it.

an awesome piece of seamanship!

Great Job Skipper 👌🏼

just in time!

Good job capt.!!!!

Excellent work fast thinking captain

i wonder how many prayers he did before getting home

Good job Skip landing boat on boat launch. Happy to hear crew is safe.

The herring boat I worked had a live fish tank. Live fish would be brailed from the "catch net" into the tank, then placed live in pens upon returning to the marina. When we "pumped down" the live tank, our ass end was barely out of the water. Glad these folks saved the boat!

Good thinking on the captains part glad everything was good in the end

Damn good Captain 👌

I would like to hear the Lowrider song being played as the boat is coming into the harbor

“We’re taking on a little water captain, are you still gonna send it?” “What are ya silly, of course I’m gonna send it!”

Man loves his boat.

That must have been a fun trip back home.🤯

Damn, good job capt

Sangue freddo! Bravissimo!

An old saying in power boating--about a diesel engine is "if it starts and runs, it WILL get you home". Switching gears, what is the number one reason a boat takes on water like this? AND what WAS the reason this one took on water?

Guy standing on the side of it just looking into his phone. Gangsta yeah!😎

Congrats !

Yeah, but did they save the load of roe herring?

Gotta love a happy ending 😉

Nice save

good job, sir. you did the best you could do under the circumstances!

Wondering what caused it to start sinking

Good job skipper! You kept her from becoming a hazard to navigation by pushing it to that boat ramp.

That was sweet actually. Saved it.

That’s some good Captaining right there.

For boaters, what is the most likely cause of her taking on that much water? Second, I agree with those that praise the Captain, ground her, don't let her sink--but most likely the action would have been needed if preventive maintenance had been taken in the first place.

Great job!

this was better than the jack sparrow scene in pirates of the carribean
