Big Ed Takes on a Load of Taconite

It is no small feat to load 70000 tons of taconite into a 1000 foot boat, but, the Edwin H Gott handled it in stride as it loaded at the CN Ore Docks in Duluth this afternoon.

NEW! Harborwatch Alerts

Harbor Watch Alerts (Updated)

I am republishing this with updated info now that I have experimented a bit. These alerts are  intended for those fanatical folks who, like me, really like watching the harborcams.

If you would like an email or text message when there is imminent or important harbor activity to watch on the duluthhaborcam.com  website, email me denny.ohara@gmail.com and let me know whether you want email or text notifications. For text notifications, I will need your mobile phone number.

Alerts will be sent out for the following reasons, when I notice activity and when I am available to send an the alert:

• Large boats entering the Duluth Shipping Canal
• Harbor activity of particular interest
• Weather events of particular interest
• Harbor events such as regattas, races, etc
• Alerts will not be sent for routine traffic between 10PM and 5AM

Thanks,
Dennis

P.S. Once I have entered your email or text # you will get a confirmation request that you must acknowledge.

Long Boats and Long Shadows

Slow going today as captains and tugs try to maneuver the 1000 foot American Century and Indiana Harbor through thick ice in the Duluth Harbor. Imagine trying to turn a boat the length of three football fields through an ice pack!
With a warming trend in the works, the harbor ice will be loosening its grip on the boats this week.
