The bulk freighter Kom departed Duluth on a pleasant December evening.

Response to "Coffee Fund" donations

To all of my friends who have donated to the coffee/camera fund this year - a big thanks you. Watching the big boats, people, weather, and other activity on the harbor cams has become rather addicting to myself as well as others.  While I started duluthharborcam.com to be able to watch the boats myself, I now get much more pleasure knowing that there are more then 400 people watching live each time one of the massive hulks makes its way through the canal.

This site is not a chore, but a gift and my hope is to keep providing memories and reflections of when you were here or will be here. The technology involved to do the streaming cameras didn't even exist 5 years ago, so, we are fortunate indeed.

There are lot's of folks that make this possible, including the Great Lakes Aquarium, Pier B, Army Corps of Engineers and everyone else who helps out.  While this is not a money making venture, the payoff is great and I look forward to more upgrades and improvements as time and finances permit.

December is a great boat watching month - Enjoy!

Camera Updates!

Summary of changes to camera configurations.

The Bridgecam has been upgraded to live streaming and is now showing Bentleyville.  This camera will remain in place with this view Bayfront Park.

The Harborcam is now upgraded to live streaming, however, it is an older camera and will be replaced when I save up the $2000 it cost to change it out.

So, all six cameras are now streaming live!  I have wanted this for a long time hope to keep them all running through the winter.

Please let me know if and when you see errors or have other request, these cameras are as much yours as they are mine, and I consider myself the maintenance guy for duluthharborcam.com and hope to provide the best view of the best place on earth.

Enjoy the views!

Covered in ice from a trip down Lake Superior, the black hull of the Algoma Montrealais shimmered white in the bright morning light of another beautiful winter day!
