Today, the Mesabi Miner pushed through tight harbor ice with the help of the tug North Carolina, as it opened the 2013 Shipping Season.
The Miner negotiated a couple tight turns as it followed a narrow path opened by cutters and kept open by the tugs. Welcome to the 2013 Shipping Season!
Perhaps you could answer a question for me? On the harbor cam there is a dark round object that sticks up above the salt pile in the foreground.Is that the stack of the sunken tug Essayon?
You are correct. I turned the LaFarge cam this afternoon so that you can see it from a different angle. Here is a link to today's image. http://www.northernimages.com/Duluth/Harbor-and-Boats/Tugs/i-KFhvFfL/0/L/esayons032213-L.jpg
