Mesabi Miner stuck in ice off Duluth Piers
Just as it was about to enter the Duluth Harbor at 18:00 this evening, the 1000ft Mesabi miner became stuck in the ice. Help will be arriving soon.

Yesterday's satellite image shows just how much ice remains on Lake Superior certainly a challenge for the lakers and cutters.

duluthharborcam.com Update!
Hi folks,
Just a bit of an update:
duluthharborcam.com website- I have moved the thumbnail photos that linked to the snapshot cameras to text links on the right sidebar. I have also made some other minor format changes in order to simplify the site like moving the scanner and AIS to the left column.
Also, in the next few weeks, I will be moving the GLA camera to another location on the aquarium roof in order to provide a better view of the harbor and front area of the DECC.
Penny asked who maintains and pays for all this cameras? Well, I am able to cover some of the expenses so far by using the Google Ads that you see on the site. The simple fact is, I am blessed that technology now can enable myself and others to enjoy a very special place called Duluth and I will keep doing this as long as there is a + in my bank account.
Not everyone gets to see the thank-you emails that I often receive from folks that use these cameras as a tie-line to home, a place they would like to call home, or just a fond memory. That's why I do this. Also, of course, I just like watching the cameras myself.
I would like to acknowledge the following organizations and companies that graciously allow me to operate the cameras that you see on this website.
Pier B Resort Association - (Lafarge/Pier B camera)
Great Lakes Aquarium - (GLA cam)
Army Corps of Engineers/ LSMMA/Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center
If it wasn't for these fine folks, we wouldn't be able to see what we can see today!
The boats are on their way back and Spring has arrived!

New Camera Installation!
We have put a new camera online that offers a very closeup view of the lift bridge. The new camera is live streaming and is the 4th thumbnail down on the right hand column of this page.
As usual, I expect some glitches while I am finalizing setup, but, I do hope you enjoy the view. The boats will be back soon.
