History - Tiffany Window (Three Ships)

Duluth has always had a deep nautical heritage. There are many displays of this with one of them being the Tiffany stained glass windows in the First Presbyterian Church located in the heart of Duluth. Build in 1869, the building is a display of craftsmanship and beauty established long ago.

Mariners have always relied on God in the storms of the sea and the storms of life.

Waves and Wind!

While the waves were a nice size (4-6Ft) yesterday, once the Gales of November arrive in a few weeks, it is not unusual to have twice that size.  This photo from last November is a good example of what to expect.

One of the unusual phenomena that occurs during the worst storms is that people love to flock to the lake shore to experience the power of Lake Superior as soon as they hear on the radio to stay away.

Go figure! I thinks it's built into everyone!
