That was a great slide show. He has a lot of good pictures in there.
Looking at all those salties, they look like they would be hard to navigate around. They have a ton of crane booms and other structures sticking up in front of the wheel house. Looks like you'd have to steer with your head hanging out a side window so you could see.

Speaking of pictures of salties, Dennis O'Hara put this very snazzy slideshow of his photos up on his site. Really nice.

Sorry C_C, no pictures. It was after dark when she left.

There is another sign that winter has arrived in the Northland even if the snow hasn't. The final saltie of the 2011 shipping season left the Twin Ports on Monday night.
The Erieborg arrived very early Sunday morning to load beet pulp pellets at the General Mills elevator in Duluth. She'll be bringing that cargo to Morocco.
According to the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, laker traffic in the harbor will continue for about a month until the Sault Locks close on January 15.
