Six Pack Saturday -- Six arrivals in Duluth 12/14/2024

[@rogwarrior1018]

I stayed the distance just to see the Alpena. Watching her come in through the snow and the mist...perfect. She is the prettiest ship on the Lakes and to her horn is a true treat. I love this little steamship that "can". I love watching the monster ships come in but the Alpena is my absolute favorite.

[@unyieldingcreek1]

What delightful to watch them all come in, especially the Alpena.

This has truly been the best day of many months for ship traffic .many ships, a couple of beauties, interesting weather conditions throughout the day. Wind, snow, sea smoke and alot of ship watchers. Great to see your video, Paul. Merry Christmas.😊

Lots of hardy spectators braving the cold weather to watch this amazing parade of ships. That's the Minnesota spirit.

What an awesome day to be in Duluth! My family of 4 all said we wished we were there today. Thanks for all the footage! The Two-fer was awesome! ❤

[@Happycamper144]

So cool. Love these giant ladies!❤

[@michellemanson4320]

What a day! I was at the canal to see the two-fer and saw some of the others from a distance. Made up for a year of missing out on ships every time I went north

[@johnbeck8812]

Well one of the ships gave us a master salute

[@jamesnelson6980]

Great video, DHC! A nice parade of lakers, and, of course, saving the best for last! Merry Christmas and Happy New year to DHC, and my fellow boat nerds from Green Bay! 31:18

Seeing these big boats is what America is all about.We are a great Industrial nation.

[@chrisbrady-t1u]

[@RandomDudeOne]

Wow, the crowds showing up even in the dead of winter.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Love the 1000footers

[@peterlavelle-n2r]

I sailed aboard the James r. Barker as client customer in 1989... Detroit Edison to superior, WI for coal. Outstanding voyage and crew.

[@bradr2142]

I liked and subscribe.

[@robertpapps3618]

Wow!

[@kathymsw]

Hi I think it would be great to hear about the workers who built and operate these ships! How many, etc.

[@brianmoore6724]

Heading down here one early July day after a Huskies game instead of waiting for the next day when I had nothing to do I was rewarded with getting to see the Paul R. Tregurtha come in. I'd watched a doc on it and had no idea any ship was coming in much less that one. I was blown away. They did not do the announcements that they did in this video and that I've seen in others. Perhaps that's just a weekend thing. I don't remember what day of the week I was there. It was July 7th or something if I remember correctly. It was a cool place to visit. I wouldn't be out there, well 26F if it's not too windy maybe I would) but not the other days even though the smoke on the water videos were really cool

[@CAPNMAC82]

Wow, blowing snow and they have not lit up the lighthouses.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

I winder how far out to sea the bridge horns can be heard

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Burns Harbor didn't get a bridge salute

[@ManxAndy]

That’s because she didn’t complete a salute to start with, due to her horns being iced up…👍

[@tommcgeethree]

It's getting late in the season. I pray they get their ships loaded up and safely delivered. 👍

[@ajbaumgart4774]

I'm suprised the ships are still going and not in winter lay up yet

[@michaeltaylor8835]

All the ships got sugar icing on them

[@chrisbrady-t1u]

should be named ''Lollipop" after the great Shirley Temple song of that name.

[@longrider42]

Is it odd that there is no ice on the lake yet?

[@RandomDudeOne]

No, it's early yet.

[@leslie-up7qs]
