Duluth - Out Our Front Door (Old Log)

I love our visit to Duluth while there we stayed in a lake front hotel (they had parking room for our RV).  It was the only way to stay by the harbor so we could watch the ships come and go.  I learned that when you can see them just on the horizon they are 30 to 45 minutes out.

 

Below is a ship coming into the harbor just off the sea wall.

 

Below we see a ship passing the sea wall and turning into the harbor.  This port is only closed a couple months each year do to ice on the lakes.

This final photo below is a large Laker coming out of the harbor taking ore to Indiana.   These larger Lakers are so large they can only travel the upper three lakes.  They are over a thousand feet long.

 

We hope to go back to Duluth in the summer of 2015.
