John G Munson on the Move

So how do you move a boat that is more then 760 feet long that weights over 17,000 tons?

Very carefully - using two big tugs!

The John G Munson was towed from the Port Terminal to Fraser Shipyard today in order to undergo routine inspections and upgrades.

Two Heritage Marine tugs, the Helen H and Nels J,  pulled the Munson for 1.5 miles though the icy waters of St. Louis Bay using mariner skills that made the job look easy.

Superior Sunrise!

This morning sunrise over Lake Superior was spectacular and one of the many reasons Duluth is such a special place.
