    I agree foreverspring. I'd that they didn't answer back. How rude. That was a short visit too. Lol

    It's rather embarrassing that the Bridge did not respond to the VanEnkevort's salute, whatever the reason. Surely the operator(s) had to hear it. It sounded loud enough.

    Great video today Paul, and interesting commentary about seagulls. I grew up in St. Petersburg, FL and have seen a few gulls in my day, along with pelicans and other shore birds. Been here near St. Louis now since 1970 and have always been amazed at the number of gulls up and down the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. We have a son in Astoria OR and another in Charleston SC so have visited both coasts and have seen them on both coasts. We have been to all the great lakes and have seen them there too. They do get around. But a master's salue from the PRT is hard to beat and you don't see many video of these beasts backing up. Thanks for the video.

    I think they are opportunists, they are catching what the ship props kick up in the shallow canal. Normally, I see them abort the ship just out of the canal.

    All I know, public info, is their Lease expires in under 2 years, I also heard they were planning on shutting down the 2 coal plants. We will see if they shut or not. If they do, that is a lot of ship traffic that will end in the Twin Ports. Last season that dock had a total of80 ship visits.

    Against a beautiful sky and a North Shore backdrop, the Hon James L Oberstar, looking like the hard working "laker" that she is, slides through the Duluth Canal, under the Aerial Bridge and into the Duluth Superior harbor. I call her a great example of the "Appearances be damned, there's work to be done!" ethic of these great ships!

    I’m thinking that’s comparable to a small plane like a Cessna or Beechcraft being near the flight path of a jumbo jet. Or someone driving a little Smart car being alongside a huge semi truck. They all have their place and can share their travel routes. Disasters can happen when operators get careless.
