I cannot BELIEVE they left in the storm! The Indiana Harbor Big Wave Duluth Departure
111,732
Published 2023-04-20
Info about this visit:
They arrived at the Duluth Entry April19, 2023 at 00:37 to load Iron Ore at CN. I was fast asleep.... They pulled into the CN dock 03:08 and began their loading.
They, Surprisingly departed the CN dock April 19, 08:00, heading for the Canal to depart, which they did at 19:02 with the iron ore pellets they loaded at CN, heading to Indiana Harbor, IN to deliver.
Currently at posting time they are slow steaming by the "horn" (near copper river) most likely protecting themselves from the wind and waves.
Be safe out there boys!

God bless and keep every freighter and crew safe and return them back home to their families. A lot of times we look at the amount of money these jobs pay. Railroad conductors, commercial jet pilots, and seamen. As a former truck driver people thought I made great money, which I did. But it was stressful, dangerous, and a lot of times lonely. I just wanted to be home with my family. God bless these group of men/women who make that sacrifice.

I hope the ship and her crew are safe...can't mess with Lake Superior.

Man, you gotta have total faith in both the ship and your shipmates and those responsible for locking everything down.

Safe travels to every ship, and sailor out on our Great Lakes. Very nice shots of the ship as it travels out bound.

Old USCG veteran here. Served on a 311 foot Ocean Station weather ship out of Portland , Maine mid '60's. Cutters on winter North Atlantic stations Bravo & Charlie off Greenland & Labrador frequently battled 30 ft waves with 50 ft rogue waves not uncommon. Coast guard crews used to say , "you have to go out but you don't have to come back."

The Captain of the Indiana Harbor must be confident with his ship and crew. Still found time for a departing salute as well...⚓📣
