The Mesabi Miner departed Duluth this morning loaded with iron ore pellets. This massive ship is a sight as it navigates through the Duluth-Superior Harbor. It's always impressive to see such a gigantic vessel in action and think about how much cargo it can carry. The Mesabi Miner is a true workhorse of the Great Lakes and a testament to the engineering expertise that goes into creating such a magnificent vessel. As it sets sail, it reminds us of the importance of shipping in our economy and its vital role in transporting goods across North America. Safe travels to the crew of the Mesabi Miner!
