1978, she loaded the first cargo of ore at DM&IR's new loading dock in Two Harbors, Minnesota.
In 1986, she became the first thousand footer to deliver coal in the Saginaw River.
She was the final vessel to arrive for lay-up at the Twin Ports in 2006.

You bet! thanks.
She’s one of my favorites. I love her name. Hopefully I will get a chance to see her. I had the honor of seeing the beautiful Arthur Anderson In Marquette Michigan yesterday. That was a surprise. ❤

Great video! Lots of folks in town for the marathon. Glad they could pack the canal to welcome the "Miner"!
That was exceptional. Beautiful day, huge crowd and a “footer” in the canal. How could you go wrong? Really loved this one.

It was, in normal weather during the afternoon and early evening, with it being officially "tourist season", there should be quite the crowds at the canal.
That dual tone sounds so good man, I wish they'd use both horns together more often.

Different uses, one for signaling ships ore other vessels, the other tone is generally used for their fog horn, I think. Guessing also having 2 horns also gives them a backup..
Wow, huge crowd on hand to welcome the Mesabi Minor. Great salute as well...⚓📣

Awesome videos but still not like being there, I wish there was a way to convey the massiveness of these mighty machines! Made a last minute trip to Duluth Thursday night, saw 5 boats in 13 hours! Caught the Mich. and the Barker Thursday night…awesome!
That's awesome kool 😊

Perfect day to boat-watch, nice to see the big crowd. Not a fan of so much narration but apparently most people see it differently.

I agree considering too much narration, as it is distracting somewhat😮😮😮
I wonder if Paul has to wear a disguise so not to be mobbed by the fans...🤔
