Coast Guard

Alder goes out in the lake

March 13, 2013 by Kenneth Newhams 11 Comments

The Coast Guard cutter Alder covered all the bases today (March 13, 2013), first going under the Lift Bridge and to the edge of the ice sheet, about 5 1/2 miles out. The ship made quick work of the ice, easily breaking open a track and then coming back in to break up more ice in the Superior channel to the BN dock and then up the St. Louis River just beyond the winter moorings of the Mesabi Miner at Midwest Energy. We then went into Howard’s … [Read more...] about Alder goes out in the lake

Getting ready for the Munson

January 25, 2013 by Kenneth Newhams 14 Comments

The Alder returned to the Twin Ports early Friday morning (January 25, 2013) and went right to work clearing the path for the John G. Munson to take when she comes in, later today, to move to Fraser Shipyards for winter layup. Below, at 12:15 in the afternoon, the Munson finally came in (below) and officially closed the shipping season, we assume. … [Read more...] about Getting ready for the Munson

Mackinaw here; maybe Thunder Bay later

December 16, 2011 by Kenneth Newhams 2 Comments

The Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw has been in the Twin Ports for a couple weeks for bow thruster repairs at the Fraser Shipyards. She is currently (Friday, December 16, 2011) moored at the DECC (above) but is expected to depart in the next couple days to begin another season of ice breaking on the Great Lakes. The US Coast Guard cutter Thunder Bay departed their home port in Rockland, Maine to come to the Great Lakes to … [Read more...] about Mackinaw here; maybe Thunder Bay later

First ice and a breaker!

December 6, 2011 by Kenneth Newhams 19 Comments

That is the Coast Guard cutter Biscayne Bay docked behind the DECC. Coincidently (??), the first ice of the season is just in front of her. I am entertaining captions for the picture. She has been here many times to help us fight the ice. Go to the Biscayne Bay page to see more pictures of her life and times while in Duluth Superior and a video from some years back. … [Read more...] about First ice and a breaker!

No ice today, just wind and sleet and cold

November 26, 2011 by Kenneth Newhams 10 Comments

I know the weather is a little bad today but I wasn’t expecting to see the best ice breaker on the Great Lakes in town today (Saturday, November 26, 2011). The Canadian flagged Samuel Risley, usually here only when the ice is very bad, came to get a buoy that the Alder picked up for them. They are now docked behind the DECC, at least until Sunday and perhaps longer if the weather on the lake acts up, as is expected. … [Read more...] about No ice today, just wind and sleet and cold

Nice and warm; cold and ice coming

October 22, 2011 by Kenneth Newhams 3 Comments

The Alder looked like they had a  lot of folks on board enjoying the sun when they came into port on Saturday, October 22, 2011. They may have some sunny days from now until the end of the shipping season in mid-January, 2012 but the days won’t be so warm and the blue water will be replaced by lots of white. Listen to her celebrate her arrival nonetheless. … [Read more...] about Nice and warm; cold and ice coming

Alder breaks the ice on a new season

March 7, 2011 by Kenneth Newhams 7 Comments

The US Coast Guard cutter Alder broke away from her dock and seemed to have an easy time moving around the harbor. Here she is passing by the American Century at her winter layup dock at the Port Terminal. Note from the ship: We made it safely through the harbor finding different thicknesses anywhere from 6 inches plate ice to re-frozen brash up to about 30 inches in some spots. Alder made it all the way through the Superior Front Channel … [Read more...] about Alder breaks the ice on a new season
