The Indiana Harbor celebrated New Year's Eve with a short jaunt on Lake
Superior |
 |
|
 |
| Sun, lots of water, and
cold temperatures have given us some beautiful sights this winter.
I took this picture from inside the World Headquarters office
of the Duluth Shipping News. |
|
|
 |
| The Algosteel left Duluth
on Wednesday for Superior! True. |
|
 |
 |
| Another typical Duluth day in December; lots of
sun and no ice in sight! The Mesabi Miner took advantage of
the conditions today to carry one more cargo down the lakes. |
|
 |
| The Oglebay Norton is taking a cargo of
coal, and lots of ice, into Lake Superior on Saturday afternoon.
|
|
| 
|
| Above, Christmas Eve descends upon Duluth.
|
|
 |
 |
| No ice on the lake on Wednesday, but it is creeping up on
the bridge from the bay. |
 |
|
 |
The Paul Tregurtha arrived in Duluth this morning, along with
the ice in the inner harbor. At the top, the Sundew meets the
Tregurtha in the inner harbor. |
|
 |
| On Monday, the inside harbor (above, right) had a thin coat
of ice on it, the other (above, left) inside harbor is clear,
as is the Lake. |
|
|
| Saturday morning
brought cold weather, no ice, more snow and sun, and no ships
at the DM & IR or Harvest States. |
| 
|
|
| 
|
| Friday
it happened. Snow arrived, and the Algobay left.
|
|
 |
| The
Joeseph L. Block cuts through the first glaze of ice to hit
the harbor. |
|
 |
| Another Wednesday
night at the bridge!
|
|
| 
|
The Walter J. McCarthy carries coal to Detroit
from Superior. It takes her about a week to make the round
trip. She arrived Sunday afternoon on her 42nd trip here this
year.
|
|
This was Saturday morning but
it could have been any morning during the last week, or perhaps
month. All this great weather is getting boring. Bring on the
slop!
 |
|
| 
|
The Aleksander Kolmpere is the first Estonian
ship here this year, perhaps ever. However, the captain and
about half the crew are Russian.
|
|
 The
45-foot tug Bayfield made her way to the Lake Superior Maritime
Visitor's Center today. Here, across the street from Dewitt-Seitz,
she was loaded onto a truck for the final trip. She will
spend the rest of her life in front of the Visitor's Center. |
|
| Wednesday
morning's first light found 4 salties waiting to load up before
their escape from the impending winter.
|
|
|
The United entered the Duluth harbor shortly after noon on Tuesday.
She was the last salty to arrive in Duluth this year.
Below, as the United arrived, there is no ice, few people, and
no more ships waiting. |
 |
|
|
| Monday, December 7, 1998 |
 |
| The Burns Harbor picked
a nice time (Monday afternoon) to make one of her infrequent
exits under the Lift Bridge. She picked up coal at Midwest
Energy. Usually, she sneaks in via the Superior entry, loads
taconite at Burlington Northern and disappears again.
|
|
| 
|
| Sunday
morning and five ships are at anchor waiting to load grain.
It is clearly the last push of the year.The Dobrush is at the far left, then the Lake
Champlain, the Alam Sejahtera, the Ithaki and the Olympic
Melody. |
 |
|
|
| 
|
| The Frontenac arrived over
the noon hour on Thursday, December 3, 1998

of Duluth Shipping News on Tuesday, November 9, 1998. |

The Davitaja entered
the Duluth harbor late Thursday afternoon. |

is?) a lake freighter that was rebuilt as a barge in 1989.They
are currently attached and now function as a unit. They (she)
entered the Duluth harbor early Saturday afternoon.

at sunset, Wednesday evening |
The Vechtborg

 Second
place isn't nearly so good. The Egert Wagenborg arrived in Duluth
last Thursday and left Friday night. She was the second Wagenborg
ship to come to Duluth in a week, and ever. There were no press
conferences but she still received attention from those who
saw her.The Wagenborg Shipping company was founded in 1898 by
Mr. Egbert Wagenborg. His greatgrandsons are now 4th generation-managing
directors. The MV Egbert Wagenborg was named after the company
founder on the occasion of the company's 100th birthday. |
|
The Oakglen made her first trip
to Duluth this week. Like home, the kitchen is the place
to get together. Above, Captain John Manner was visiting with
the kitchen staff this morning (Thursday). Chief Cook Glenna
Loughridge is in the center and second cook Jamie Scotney
is at left. Someone has to do the work, so I had to catch
porter Virginia Laffin elsewhere in the kitchen (insert) |
|
|
|
| Sunday morning brings another gray
day to Duluth; maybe snow tonight! |
|
| Saturday brought many people out;
almost like a July day. The Kinsman Independent is leaving port
with a load of wheat for Buffalo. |
|
| 
|
The Dutch ship Vechtborg
came into port on Friday morning. She stood out in an otherwise
grey harbor. Larger picture |
|
| 
|
 The
Lee Tregurtha left today (Thursday) with a surprising number
of people peeking through the gray sky. She was also carrying
on her deck three ships that were at anchor both before and
after she left. Under the self -unloader at the right is the
Vechtborg, a vessel from the Netherlands waiting for the Hallet
Dock. She carries a crew of only 11. Next, moving to the left
is the Iron B, which shortly after the Tregurtha left, came
into port herself (above). Then the Clipper Falcon is stationed
and to the left of the Tregurtha's bow is the Danis Koper. (At
least I think that's the order) |
|
| 
|
| Above the Sea Glory is finally coming
into port after a wait at anchor off the Duluth piers. You can
see the Iron B, the Vechtborg, the Danis Koper and the Clipper
Falcon out there still waiting. |
| 
|
| The Sea Glory makes the turn from
the Aerial Lift Bridge on her way to Harvest States. On the
right, you can faintly see the Pany R at Cargill and to the
left, the Apj Anjli at AGP. |
|
| 
|
| The Elton Hoyt 2nd left Duluth
on Monday afternoon. |
|
|
| At noon on Monday, October 12, Duluth
is dark. The Sea Glory, the Iron B
and the Vechtborg are at anchor waiting for
a berth to pick up grain. The Pany R (below

Agamemnon, below right, arrived on Tuesday to load spring wheat

was escorted into the Duluth harbor by a tug. She will be loading
barley at Cargil. The Canadian Enterprise, left, Duluth on Tuesday

High winds in Duluth since
Sunday have added the word windbound to our vacabulary. At left,
the Columbia Star was moved off the Port Terminal dock
this morning (Monday) by tugs. Below, they are turning her around
so she can back into the Midwest Energy coal dock. There are
6 ships at anchor off the Duluth pier and one waiting
inside. Above, some of the ships at anchor as of early Monday
afternoon. Others have moved further out. |
 |

rainy Saturday afternoon. She carried salt for

are waiting for one of those 3 ships to come in but not today.
The speck just to the right of the lighthouse is the Goviken,
the Aleksandr Nevskiy is in the center and the Kapitonas Stulpinas
is on the right. All three are waiting to load at the Concourse
grain terminal in Superior. |
