  1. My mother was from the Iron Range, my father from Duluth (London Street!). Many summers out in Hibbing and Cuz’s farm near Eveleth n Virginia. My grandfather filmed these ship along the canal. 1951. https://youtu.be/-Sxv8YFyMjg

  2. So cool to see the Tugboat circle the ship to clear the ice around it an to make it easier to come into port as well…

  3. Is the radio traffic from the very begining of the video from when the ship is further out? It would seem that the bridge should be completely raised before the ship is starting down the canal.

  4. Liked the shot of the back in docking. Also, those dedicated ship watchers. Twenty degrees and still quite a few show up.

  5. When I'm in Duluth I always want to see the ship's. Being in Duluth for winter, please make sure you dress really warm. Standing at Lake Superior will get chilly. The ship's come in slowly to the docking area. I love watching the ship's come in!
