Duluth Harbor Boat Traffic for Monday 12/31/2012

Happy "Nautical" New Year!
Thank you for watching the Duluth Harbor Traffic in 2012 and looking forward to 2013. With two weeks left in this shipping season, there should be some great scenery to end the season.
The  big event of 2013 will be the Tall Ship Festival in July --- Always something to watch.

I hope to keep upgrading and improving the cameras in 2012 in order to provide the view in town.

" Hard Water" Ice Boat Commander

CAP T TOM MACKAY a long time resident of Park Point sent in this picture of him out for a sail on the Duluth Harbor " Hard Water".

------------------
Ahoy Denny. As you stated I have lived on the Point for a long time, 1944, with the first two days of my life spent up-town at St. Lukes. This is a photo of my Mom on my Dads Iceboat around 1939, just so you can see how this sport got in my blood. The other photo is of my first Iceboat the "Sputnic" named after a current event back a few years ago. A misspell of Spitnik.
