“Those Great Lakes ore carriers sure are odd looking vessels.”

I get to see ‘em day in and day out from my office window overlooking the Duluth harbor. The 1000 footers are pretty impressive making their way throught the skinnly little breakwater opening into the harbor.....especially when the waves are hitting around 8 feet!

I just got off Google Earth and if you follow the Soo Locks and the channels you can see some pretty decent satellite photos of these large ships.
