End of Season 2019 Update!

FYI,
With the arrival of the Hon James L Oberstar this morning the 2019 Shipping Season in Duluth has come to an end.
There will be two more boats arriving tomorrow in Superior.

I hope the Harbor Cams have provided a window to the Northland for you to view boats, weather, and people throughout the year.

Shipping will begin again in about 8 weeks.  All of the cameras will continue to operate during the off season so we can watch the ever changing sunrises and weather.

I will be working on some improvements to the internet services and other networking structures during the off season.

2020 Look Ahead
Projects -
1.Upgrade the network at Harbor Hub
2. Make network improvement at the Marine Museum and possibly upgrade the Canal Cam and use the existing Canal Cam to replace the Bridge Cam.
3. Continue to evaluate Youtube Streaming compared to Angelcam.

The cameras have taken a beating this year and I am very pleased with their performance. There will always be issues to fix, but, I very much enjoy doing this service.

Many thanks to all the viewers and supports throughout the season who have been so generous in support of the cams.

 Have a wonderful winter season!

 Den

    Thank you from Louisville, KY!! Getting to Duluth is on my bucket list! I'm from Southern MN and get up there once or twice a year. Only wish I could hear the announcements better when the ships come in and leave. Love their horns too.

    Thank you Den, for all you do. I watch the harbor cams from Los Angeles. I moved here from Minnesota so I can enjoy seeing the snow without having to drive in it.

    I have been watching ships come and go all summer and loved every bit of it, now, as I did last winter, watch as the ice fishing season goes full bore, I am so glad there are live cameras to watch, gets boring sometimes here in Grand Forks, thank you

    As always I'm sad to see the shipping season end but will continue to check out the webcams daily. Den thanks for your continued dedication to this website, you do a great job. I've been witnessing this site grow over the years as technology greatly improves and adding the youtube streaming is the best improvement. Have a safe winter and take time to enjoy the beauty of the northland in winter!

    Den, thank you so much from Mike and I. We look at the Duluth cams every day, now that we are semi-retired. We love being able to hear the audio, too. Duluth and the North Shore are my favorite places, no matter what season. Best always, Shari and Mike

    will the lift bridge raise at all during the port shutdown. Do they even staff the control house. Thanks for maintaining and keeping the cameras online. We really enjoy them.
