Jim Almquist Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It was the twins birthday party today so no bog pics. When the kids went sliding I went on a photo shooting jaunt.We did have a Northern Hawk Owl fly by the house but I was too busy chowing and it was gone in a flash. When I got down to the break wall a 1000 foot was revving up and heading out with a full load of ore. All the pics were taken from the break wall. The ore docks were they fill up the ships.

eyeguy 54 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Nice! We love stopping in Duluth when we camp up that way in the fall to try and catch a ship coming into harbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARINERMAGNUM Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Nice job Jim. That's a big boat-where's the rod holders?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim43 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Great Shots Jim, but your ship is A little shorter then 1000ft Great resource to look up lakers to. BTW, my father worked on the ore boats in the early 50s for 3 years. Have some shots of him on the ships when they were building the Mackinaw Bridge. He passed under it while they built it.Regards,Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
