CGC Alder is first boat through the Duluth Shipping Canal - 03/12/2015
As usual, the CGC Alder pushed under the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge and out through the Shipping Canal as a preliminary run for the shipping opener that will be coming up soon.
Good to hear the boats again.

Aerial Lift Bridge Control Room
While the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge is photographed from nearly every angle, not many folks know what it looks like inside the control room that sits midway in the center of the lift span.
From this control room, Bridge Operators monitor weather, boat traffic, road traffic, people on the ground and the instrumentation to operator the bridge. It's and interesting job, and certainly the best office view in town.
Click HERE or on the image to step in and take a 360 view of the control room where the Bridge Operators work.

3/11/2015--12:00 Canal Cam upgrade complete - let me know if you have any issues with it.
The view should be clearer and I will tweak the audio once there are boats moving.
Thanks again to everyone that donated for the new camera and I hope you enjoy the view.

FYI,
The Canal Cam will be down today for several hours as I change it out to an upgraded model.
I apologize in advance if it takes longer -- there are usually some glitches to work through.
