CSL Assiniboine backs through the Duluth Shipping Canal 08/11/2014


How do you back a 730 ft Laker through the Duluth Shipping Canal? Very Carefully!

After coming into Duluth to refuel, the CSL CSL Assiniboine captain chose to back his boat back out into the lake rather then turn around.  On the scanner he stated that he would like to try something different.  --crazy Canadians

The CSL Assiniboine sailed to the superior Entry where it is waiting it's turn to load at the BN  Docks.
