Harbor Views

Evenings are a particularly nice time to watch some boats and this evening was no exception. While I was on top of the Lafarge Plant this evening trying to figure out a power supply for the webcam, I snapped a few pictures.

Minnesota Sunset

It has been a fairly cool spring in the Northland, but, summer isn't far off.  Last evening was a good indication of the slowly advancing summer when the sunset on Caribou Lake North of Duluth sparked a glowing horizon that lit up the northern sky into beautiful a backdrop as a local fisherman enjoyed the setting.

On this day in Duluth in 1928, the beloved Steamship America wrecked at Isle Royale. The America left Grand Marais the previous evening for Isle Royale to drop off passengers at the Singer Hotel Dock on Washington Island before heading to Port Arthur (today’s Thunder Bay), Ontario. In the early morning hours of June 7, with the first mate at the helm, she struck a reef near Isle Royale’s Washington Harbor, skidding over the rocks four times and ripping a hole in her hull just below the engine room on the starboard side. The ship’s pumps couldn’t keep up with the water pouring in. The captain ordered the ship to steer for the north gap of Washington Harbor in an attempt to beach her, but it struck more rocks and stopped ninety feet from shore.
