Classic Duluth Winter Shipping

When I think of the most beautiful Duluth winter scenes  involving shipping, cold, Lake Superior and sea smoke - this scene is it!

The 1000ft Mesabi Miner entered port this morning coming through the sea smoke on a beautiful winter morning in the Northland.  I hope you enjoy this scene as much as I do!

Algoma Montrealais -- Last Visit

I was informed by one of the viewers that this is the last visit to Duluth for the Algoma Montrealais before it is sent to the bone-yard. That made it worth a walk out on the old Interstate Bridge this morning in the below zero weather to get a last snapshot of the majestic boat as it was unloading at Holcim Cement.

Winter Shipping

Ice is forming quickly in the harbor and shipping is getting difficult.  There will be two ice breakers working in the harbor this week to help things out.
Here is the Arthur M Anderson arriving this morning.--- the beauty of boats, ice, wind, and water never gets tiring to photograph.

Camera Update

Update: 21:00 Wednesday-----Camera icing has cleared and the snow is moving out-----nice to see the harbor again.



Most of the cameras are now ice covered and unable to see.  There are small heaters in each one, however, as long as the snow falls and off-lake winds stay high, it will be difficult for the small camera heaters to melt the ice.

This is a classic winter storm for this time of year and once the skies clear, there should be some fantastic photo opportunities, either with the web cameras or out in the cold and snow.

By the weekend, there should be some cool views of ice covered boats arriving off Lake Superior.

I will turn the cameras back into place once the ice has melted off.

Stay warm,
Dennis

p.s. My wife won't let me use her hair blower to speed up the melting.
