With bright sun and melting snow, the Mesabi Miner departed the port today (April 9, 2009) with coal for Detroit Edison. She often spends the winter in the Twin Ports, but this layup, she was in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. This was her second trip to the Twin Ports this year. The Marine Museum’s tug Bayfield is at the right foreground.

Well, I finally get to see the bow of the little landlocked tug; and also learn its name. For several years now I have been looking at its stern from the Duluth webcam. Being “landlocked” too in a wheelchair in Maryland, the webcam has given me many pleasurable moments during the season. Many thanks to whoever or whomever is responsible!
