Travel with us to Duluth MN. on October 10, 2016 to watch some ships! This was our first time visiting Duluth's Canal Park and the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge... and it didn't disappoint!
First, we explore the Midwest Energy Resources Co. (MERC) Superior Terminal logistics as they load the Paul R. Tregurtha with over 63,000 tons of coal.
Next we relocate to Canal Park at dusk to see the following pass through the Duluth Shipping Canal:
- Paul R. Tregurtha - departing MERC with a load of coal.
- American Century - destined for MERC to load coal.
- Fuldaborg - destined for CHS No. 1 to load grain.
The magnitude and volume of the shipping activity in and out of the Twin Ports is staggering. Ore, coal, grain, and other minerals are shipped to and from this area daily and we show a brief segment of what to expect. This may have been our first visit to Canal Park and Duluth Harbor, but it certainly will not be our last!
