Awesome views. Thanks so much Dennis.
ReplyDeleteJoan D.
The cruise on the Wenonah is not to be missed.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will be able to run in 2019
Not sure if first comment worked. Thanks for getting the camera up and running. Thanks to all who donated. It is always exciting to be able to see what's happening up north.

Thanks for all you do, Dennis!! Grammie Pat, West St. Paul, MN 55118
ReplyDeleteDennis,
ReplyDeleteYet another reason to "tune in" from the confines of our home in Cedar Falls, IA! How on earth can you keep teasing us like this?
Thanks for a great new view! I know I'll enjoy this one as much as I have all the others. Thanks for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denny...Another great project completed. Great camera placement for wave watching on a windy day like today. The color of the water is aw sum. A+
ReplyDeleteNot being able to see the sun today,which direction does the camera face when it is not panning?
ReplyDeleteSouthwest
DeleteGreat CAM!!! Beautiful picture quality and views! Thanks Dennis!
DeleteOh man! How can I get anything done when I am addicted to all these great webcams! LOL! I just checked the the Silver Bay cam just as it was panning and saw some great waves crashing. This will be a great addition. Thanks Den!!
ReplyDeleteSure as hell Mary,today 4/11/19, which should be one of the coolest days to checkout the cams to watch the storm and ALL the cams are down. Dennis needs to get some schooling on how to operate those things!!
DeleteMost likely a wireless connection that does not work well in snow/rainy weather
DeleteThe cameras didn't appear to be down, they were taking a long time to load, or not loading. That makes me think the weather brought increased traffic that couldn't be supported. I was disappointed when I couldn't see, but I know running this isn't free, and appreciated when I could get through!
DeleteLove that this camera is up and running! Great view of the lake when I can't see it in person. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDennis,
ReplyDeleteWonderful addition to an already great site! Thank you for sharing.

The harbor master is one busy person up to this point I see.
ReplyDeleteLooks great down here in Buford GA!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dennis for all of your hard work! I love the view.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for getting this camera up! Am loving the view of the waves crashing today and the seagulls wheeling about. Can't wait for summer!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Wicked looking up there! Grew up in Owatonna, now live in Louisville.
ReplyDeleteSilver Bay Marina was a great addition. Good job Dennis.
ReplyDeleteMidland,Michigan
sorry the north shoar of the lake is in canada the south shore in usa so how can silver bay be on the north shore ?????????????
DeleteThe north shore extends from Duluth, Minn. up to Two Harbors, Silver Bay, Grand Marais, and just north of Grand Portage, (all in Minnesota) at which point it becomes Ontario, Canada, all the way to the locks at Sault Ste Marie. The south shore extends from Superior, Wis. to Port Wing, Bayfield, Washburn, all in Wisconsin, to the Michigan border in the Upper Peninsula and then to the locks at Sault Ste Marie. The north shore is in Minnesota and Ontario and the south shore is in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Deletethe wind, the waves, wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Dennis. Love the new cam from N.J
ReplyDeleteYou are the best for locations of your web cams
ReplyDeleteThanks
Is this marina accessible to the general public? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes it is - there are some nice picnic areas and boat launch
DeleteSpectacular views
ReplyDeleteSpectacular Views. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnother great web cam in one of my favorite North Shore towns!! Thank you Dennis for all your work!!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching The American Century getting loaded in Silver Bay as I type this.I'm very curious as to why some of it has steam arising from it as it's being loaded and a question I really hope can be answered which is "how do they weigh and determine the amount of pellets being loaded on board"?? Thank you!
ReplyDeletethanks for all your answers!!HA!!
DeleteHow often does the Silver Bay cam go into pan mode? Think what you do here is great. Only problem I have is that I can't quit watching all that goes on. Thanks Dennis.
ReplyDeleteEvery 5 - 10 min, unless there is a boat coming or going.
Deletevery cool,,h le white loading up
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Dennis! The new Silver Bay cam!!! This morning is beautiful!! Thank you for all you do!! Keeps me sane!
ReplyDeletesilver bay cam does not work
ReplyDeleteLove watching this camera. The panorama is terrific. Another snow storm.
ReplyDeleteLove watching all of the cams on this site. One of these days I'm going to get to the Duluth area for a vacation to go sight seeing. Must a nice area in the summer but I don't think I can do winter there...
ReplyDeleteSure would be nice to see the ore boats loading instead of staring at a bunch of empty boat docks!
ReplyDeletefinally moving. maybe the boland might be seen??
ReplyDeletewhomever works this cam must only like the marina. not the boat loading area. so why really have a cam if one can only see the marina most of the time. seeing the boats or the lake would be better than seeing the marina any day!!!
ReplyDeleteTrue story!
Deletehere we go again!!!!! does anybody know where the boats load, or is this camera specifically for the marina!!!! please whomever operates this cam use its capabilities and move it more. there is more than just the marina here. the boats do show up here as well!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteokfine I'm not sure I've heard as much complaining from anyone over a service that costs you nothing. Stop your complaining you whiner and enjoy the cams like everyone else.
ReplyDeleteSitting here, watching the waves and laughing at myself. Looking toward the ore dock, there's a post in the center of the picture. I realized I was moving my head, trying to see around it. Lol, guess I need to make a road trip to experience the real thing. Thanks for providing the cams!
ReplyDeleteok mr or mrs anonymous. do not tell me to stop whining. i like utilizing the cameras also but prefer watching the big boats not a marina. that is my opinion. i did not complain about you so do not tell me what to do or say. are you the boss????? again that is my right free or pay, to put my opinion out there. hey buddy ever hear of freedom of speech. and also you do not know me so DO NOT accuse of something you do not know about!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you opinion. I am often not available to turn the camera when a boat is arriving, so, my hope is that by auto panning the cam, we can see the big boats some of the time. Thanks, Den
DeleteDuluth and Two Harbors cams are where the freighter activity is more easily seen . Sault St Marie locks are another good location .
DeleteLots of boats on the following cams: Port Huron, MIchigan/Sarnia, Ontario; Marine City, Michigan; Algonac, Michigan. The Port Huron location has a cam ops It is at the southern end of Lake Huron and is the headwaters of the St. Clair river which flows into Lake St Clair and then to Lake Erie. Marine City has a cam ops which is excellent; lots of close up views with cam op comments about the boat/tug you are watching. Algonac is pretty much a pan of the ferry going between the U. S. and Canada but there is also some laker and saltie traffic. Search for StreamTime Live. The neat thing is that by use of the Marine Traffic link you can follow the boats that are upbound to Duluth/Superior/Two Harbors/Silver Bay and, of course, the downbound traffic as well.
Deletehahaha I love how this okfine person goes on a major whine when asked to stop whining. Love the cams just as they are, don't change a thing.
DeleteThis falls under the old saying that "no good deed goes unpunished".
DeleteThanks for the cams views! I lived in Duluth 3 years and took images for Lake Superior Magazine Issue back in Spring 1991. I don't miss the frigid Winters though. LOve the North Shore. Rory in Indiana
ReplyDeleteI agree, love all the cams. Those who won't volunteer there time, might consider appreciating the hundreds of hours Dennis donates. THANKS Dennis!!!
ReplyDeleteto mr dennis ohara. thanks for the explanation regarding the silver bay cam. my prior post was directed to mr or mrs anonymous and the commentary posted towards me. i have respect for people. but if you disrespect me i will respond in kind especially if i was not directing my commentary towards them, of which i wasnt. so i would expect the same kind of common courtesy towards me as i would towards them. mr or mrs anonymous unless you want the same commentary back to you do not call people names if you do not know them. remember folks as you state enjoy the cams and avoid the personal commentary.
ReplyDeletewhiner.. get a life
DeleteThe SB boat docks are some real money makers aren't they? I'll be excited when there are at least 25 boats docked there.
ReplyDeleteCam stares at the inner end of the marina for almost 10 minutes and then scans right by an ore freighter inbound. Think the vast majority of people want to look at the freighters, not an empty marina.
ReplyDeleteHere's a novel idea, install your own camera and you can control it. Problem solved you can see all the ships you want.
DeleteI would really like to know as a boat owner in Silver Bay how you would like it if I sat in front of your house and took a video of you and your family then posted it on line, this is what you are doing to the people that pay to have a slip in this marina, when you can zoom in on people enjoying their time off.
ReplyDeleteSorry you feel that way, I will make sure the camera isn't zoomed and that you and others are able to use the camera to check the weather and waves from home.
Delete1. there is no zoom option
Delete2. my home is on my private property, your boat is in the public marina so your comparison is disingenuous at best.
The cams are a wonderful public service.
As the camera scans we get about a 40 second look at an inbound freighter. But then the camera will stop for about 10 minutes to look at docked pleasure craft who no one cares to look at.
ReplyDeleteSure thing!
DeleteI check the cam several times a day and have never noticed them "zooming in" on a particular boat. There are not many boats loading but I enjoy looking at the entire area as well as the beautiful sailboats and cruisers.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you.
DeleteJune 18 - 1405 - PDT - I just watched this camera scan several times I like it seeing about a 180 degree view?

I see a weather station like Denny has at the Duluth piers.
ReplyDeleteI looked on the marina website:

and found a link at the top of the page to that weather station:

It's good to see the Silver Bay cam panning around more
ReplyDeleteWhy are the flags at flying at half-mast?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the light show. Enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThis webcam remains my goto source for real-time info about lake safety conditions and storm waves. Plus, when it's not violently dramatic, it's breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for providing it!
ReplyDeleteWatching from Asheville NC Great cameras
ReplyDeleteWhat is the blue-hulled boat that sits at the Silver Bay Marina? Didn't see it move all summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's my boat and it logged just over 400 hours at sea this summer.
DeleteI love looking at your blue boat. Is the sailboat tied to it your also? Since everyone else has left for the season, are you going to stay there for the winter?
DeleteYes we have one line tied to us from the sailboat. We are stom tied directly to the concrete breakwall. Our winter storm lines are all rated at 265,000 pounds each. Our vessel weighs in at 119 tons dry weight and we have over 8 feet of boat underwater. We drydock the boat every 5 years for maintenance and as we are listed as a light class icebreaker we allow to boat to ice into the harbor for the winter.
DeleteThis cam seems to be "stop" and "start". It is not streaming well. FYI.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be having trouble with poor steaming also.
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone has taken control of the cam and locked up! Not panning now!
ReplyDeleteAll I'm getting is buffering.
ReplyDeletelookin good!
ReplyDeletenot panning anymore?
ReplyDeleteBig blue boat owner. I love looking at your boat. Is the sailboat yours also? Are you planning on staying at the Marina over the winter? It looks so empty now that everyone is gone. This is one of my favorite cams.
ReplyDeleteWe do winter in the water here at silver bay. The boat is heated all winter using a geothermal heat pump. We do not own the sailboat that is behind us. He is a good friend. It's very peaceful at the marina all winte. We are usually the only ones here other than a few brave tourists checking out the lake.
DeleteGood luck to you over the winter and hope the weather isn't too bad. I was raised in the Seattle area but have lived in Southern Oklahoma/North Texas for the last 35+ yrs so love looking at the water, boats and all the cams.
DeleteAre the two harbors cameras malfunctioning?
ReplyDeletedennis,is there any way you can point the silver bay cam to the ore docks only for the rest of the shipping season.thanks for all you do,great job.
ReplyDeleteDennis, please don't do that. I love that it pans from the docks to the marina, don't change a thing
DeleteNo rotate on SB Marina cam????
ReplyDeleteWhy has the Silver Bay Marina cam stopped moving?
ReplyDeleteIt used to pan back and forth, but now it's stuck looking at the ore docks, and you can't even see the marina?
Just throwing in my 2 cents regarding a preferred view here... not really all that interesting to watch a marina. Being able to see the waves and lake action as well as the ships outside the marina is what I come to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the cams and hard work.
be more patient, the cam pans back and forth. Some people prefer the marina view to see the sailboats and the like. They try to please everyone yet some just have to complain anyway
DeleteSome people are just trying to let some body know that maybe something isn't working, and some people are just sharing opinions...not necessarily complaining... so smile "anonymous".
DeleteWow, this is the first time I have read any of these comments - eeekk! This is a FREE and very much appreciated service for ship lovers (boatnerds). I mean, geeeezzzz.
ReplyDeleteThese cameras are great! Thank you for all your hard work. I love checking in on the wave action here, and as someone who docks here in the summer it’s nice to be able to check in on our sailboat when we are away as well. It’s one of the huge incentives for us to use this marina.
ReplyDeleteToday I see two boats at dock. Are they spending the winter there or just passing through? I thought it was late in the season to see them there/
ReplyDeleteI asked the owner of the blue boat/sailboat that question earlier and he replied on November 9. They are wintering there over the winter.
ReplyDeleteI check a number of cams daily and this one is my favorite of them all.
Please center or “home” the camera on the area where the bulk carriers are instead of the little harbor for private boats which is empty half the year. Waiting for the camera to pivot or scan the are where the action is, is hard.
ReplyDeleteI agree sir. They might as well shut it down for the winter!
Deleteplease ignore this comment, I find the "bulk carriers" to be the most boring. I enjoy the way they pan back and forth so we get the most viewing area possible and by all means please do not turn off this camera for the winter. What's wrong with you people complaining about this wonderful free service? Get your own cam setup if you just wanna bitch
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. If they are loading a boat, the angle is such that you can't see much of what is going on. I like the panning over the entire for the scenery.
DeleteI would love to take a cruise in that big blue boat.
ReplyDeleteMe too Ed!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeletePlease restore the Alternate View Option to All Webcam's In Service.
My2%, Jerry
Hi Jerry, Sorry, but, the $300/yr has become too expensive when Youtube is free. If someone wanted to sponsor an Alternate View, I could keep it, but, not affordable at this point.
DeleteI'd be nice if this camera would go back to panning instead of watching the leaves change color.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see more boats at the marina. Spring has sprung||
ReplyDeleteIf the Presque Isle is sailing as a US ship why was she sailing past Port Huron this morning under the Canadian flag?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the ship docked just to the right of the Silos and Pier B? I see people coming and going but no sign. Love these cameras. Gets me through the crazy days in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteYou might be referring to the former Coast Guard ship Sundew(WLB-404)? It used to be a museum ship there in Duluth but is in private hands now.
DeleteHow come the camera doesn't pan around any longer?
ReplyDeleteIs the Silver Bay Marina cam down? It's been a black screen since yesterday afternoon. On all our devices.
ReplyDeleteThe captain of the Presque Isle crashed the boat into the canal wall this morning. She sat out on the lake for a few hours and now is back in the harbor for maybe an inspection and repairs.
ReplyDeleteI see the camera is back on. Nice to see the leaves are still green since that's all you can look at.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the camera? It's frozen in one spot and hasn't moved in an hour and a half. Please fix.
ReplyDeleteJuly 3 at 2:10:43 on the live cam you can watch the deer graze at Two Harbors boat launch.
ReplyDeleteCamera is not live, it's from yesterday and it's not slowly turning to pan the view every 15 minutes as it should. It just jerks to another spot then sits there for a few minutes then jerks back.
ReplyDeleteWELCOME BACK BIG BLUE BOAT!
ReplyDeleteAnd here we are in the winter slip again. The boat is excited and waiting for summer to return.
DeleteYes, welcome back to your regular spot Blue Boat. Are you going to spend the winter there again?
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the fall colors on this camera.
ReplyDeleteCool watching the seasons change up here.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the blue hulled boat at the Silver Bay Marina? I always see cars parked it, but never any activity. Twice in the past week it looks like an 18 wheeler parked by it.
ReplyDeletePrivately owned and sits there all year. It has a concrete hull.
DeleteWe winter in silver bay and spend the winter months to perform maintenance on the big blue boat. Her dry weight is 119 tons and she is built completely from cortan steel. We work out of the marina and have a shop nearby to complete maintenance. Depending on what is happening for the day, you will see a semi truck sitting near the boat also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info -- very interesting.
DeleteI see your friend's sailboat is wintering there again this year. How does that hull withstand being incased in ice?
ReplyDeleteWhats up with the Silver Bay camara
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the camara
ReplyDeleteI like that the Silver Bay camera is stopped at the loading dock area. It's nice to be able to the ships come in and out.
ReplyDeleteIs the camara stuck
ReplyDeleteI don't like it totally stopped at the loading dock. There are very few ships that come in and you can't really see what is going on when they are there. I like to see the scenery of the whole area when it scans.
ReplyDeleteThink Spring Think Green
ReplyDeleteSpring is springing! See another boat keeping company with the Big Blue Boat and his sailboat friend. It's been a long winter.....
ReplyDeletesouth pier cam is the bridge tiping over ?????
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the horrible webcam? Thank you Dennis for all your help in ruining a good thing.
ReplyDeletemaybe you should put down the meth pipe and come back to reality where these cams are a wonderful free service that you weren't forced to come see. you whiner complainers on here should just stfu and get a life
DeleteDennis, many thanks for the coverage of Silver Bay, especially when the camera follows boats coming and going. I expect that extra trouble so we really appreciate it. On behalf of many of us, I apologize for those who don't appreciate what you do and only want more, more, more.
ReplyDeletehow long is wis point cam going to be out any idea?
ReplyDeleteshur miss wi point cam
ReplyDeleteI checked Friday, and they are still working on the power outage.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Big Blue Boat. Happy to see you in your winter spot. Is your sailboat friend going to join you?
ReplyDeleteDo you know how long before the Two Harbors cam is up again.
ReplyDeleteDen, thanks so much for all you do. I particularly like the view of Silver Bay which focusses on boats entering the harbor rather than on the marina. All very interesting to this land-locked New Mexican. I've learned a lot about lakers and how they function.
ReplyDeleteWats up with drummond island ferry? all foged up?
ReplyDeleteI've noticed lately the Silver Bay Cam is a little more blurry than before. Is it located behind another piece of glass ?
ReplyDeleteThe camera is in a dome of plexiglass. It might need cleaning.
DeleteWith the snow you can really see the blue in the waves, absolutely beautiful view of the lake and the waves. As close as you can get when you cannot be there. Greetings from Nebraska. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll of the cams video feed's are fuzzy. Could that be my connection? I'm downloading @ 998Kbps though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dennis I was always hoping you would show this view. Best view of the cameras.
ReplyDeleteIs the camera stuck? Hasn't move for a couple of days.
ReplyDelete
