The American Integrity came into port this afternoon to go over to Midwest Energy Resources in Superior to get another load of coal. In the background, you see the John G. Munson at her dock at the Port Authority for winter layup. She came in on December 26th. You see the Great Lakes tug North Carolina just off the bow of the Integrity. While the Integrity stopped at Murphy Fuel, the North Carolina went just beyond the Munson in the area known as the turning basin. That’s where the American Integrity would go next, making a quarter turn so she could back up to the dock at Midwest Energy. That is how most of the big boats go to Midwest. They are then facing in the right direction when it is time to leave. The tug broke up the ice in the turning basin and then cleared the track to Midwest and did some ice breaking close by the Midwest dock.

nice post. thanks.
I loved the old home page with the shipping reports of who is coming and going and also the camera from the Lift Bridge. This page is bland and only handles one item. I am in Ohio, but go to the camera several times a day. Hope this is not permanent.
Yeh Paul; i waited until the tug was horizontal so folks would now it was a tug and not a black spot in the picture
Awesom.
