  • With sea smoke billowing over the sides of the 1000 ft. American Century, she steamed into the Duluth-Superior Harbor as the crew deiced the deck on a below zero evening.

      Never heard the double salute an welcome before. Usually just one time three long an two short..
      I'm sure it's the great Paul the videographer. The filming is a beautiful
      sight to see. The cold water meeting the warmth of the bough is an amazing sight to see.
      My Dear Gramma would say no artist could paint that picture. Merry Christmas, Happy Days ahead we pray.

During more pleasant weather people who live in the Duluth area will stand along the sides of the ship channel to watch these huge ships come into the Duluth harbor. Often times the Ships Captain will give a salute with his ships horn. Merry Christmas everyone.

    For a minute, I was like... "deiced" What's "deiced"? ....Oh. :D These ships are breathtaking. Ever since I spent a week on the St. Lawrence seaway 14 years ago, the breathtaking size of these large vessels has held a place in my conscious that makes me appreciate them in a way I never could if I hadn't seen them with my own eyes. I saw one or two 800 footers, so adding another 200' to the visual is hard to fathom!
