Boat Whistles
I started recording some of the boat whistles in the fall of 2011, and hope to get many more. Of course, it is not guaranteed that a boat will whistle its whistle…it is at the captain’s discretion.
The Lee A. Tregurtha arrived Duluth today (April 4, 2012) for her 2nd visit to the Twin Ports in 2012. She will be loading iron ore pellets at the CN dock in West Duluth. Listen to her boat whistle as she came under the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge.

The John J. Boland came into port around 2 am on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 to load coal at Midwest Energy in Superior. She left around 3:30 in the afternoon (above) for Marquette, Michigan. Listen as she sounded a salute to the bridge, and to those of us greeting her.

The Paul R. Tregurtha, at 1,013 feet long, is the largest boat on the Great Lakes. She is here approaching the Duluth ship canal on her way to the Midwest Energy Resources coal dock to load 64,000 tons of coal for Detroit Edison power plants in Monroe and St. Clair, Michigan. Listen as she sounded a salute to the bridge, and to those of us greeting her.
