Lee A. Tregurtha welcomed by crowd

September 28, 2008 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center will be 35 years old tomorrow. A birthday party yesterday was planned for outside but was moved inside because of the problematic weather. Outside might not have been good for birthday parties but it was great for boat watching at least around 6 last night. The Walter J. McCarthy Jr. departed around 5:40. After clearing the piers, it moved over to make way for the Lee A. Tregurtha to come in (above). The … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha welcomed by crowd

September 27, 2008 by Kenneth Newhams 1 Comment

The Tregurthas visit Duluth

July 17, 2008 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lee A. Tregurtha is due in port about 7 am this morning to load iron ore pellets. The Paul R. Tregurtha was here yesterday loading coal. It is named after the Vice-Chairman of the Board of the Interlake Steamship Company, the owner of the boat. His wife Lee gave her name to the Tregurtha that will be in port today. The Paul R. Tregurtha is a very regular visitor, coming about once a week, not so much the Lee A. It was here only twice in 2006 … [Read more...] about The Tregurthas visit Duluth

Lee A. Tregurtha here for coal

April 23, 2008 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lee A. Tregurtha came into port Tuesday afternoon to load coal at Midwest Energy Resources for Taconite Harbor. It likely departed for there very early this morning and is expected to leave there later today to load iron ore pellets at Two Harbors. It was followed at the coal dock by the Paul R. Tregurtha. It is loading coal for a Detroit Edison power plant at St. Clair, Michigan. The boats are named after Paul R. Tregurtha, vice chairman of … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha here for coal

Lee A. Tregurtha to load coal for Taconite Harbor

January 12, 2008 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The shipping season is slowly closing down. There were 3 boats that arrived on Friday for winter layup; the American Spirit, Indiana Harbor and the Canadian flagged Frontenac. A question often asked at the ship canal is: what's in that boat? Today the answer for the three above was; a lot of tired sailors going home after a long season. The Lee A. Tregurtha also arrived on Friday (above). It went over to load coal for Taconite Harbor. After that … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha to load coal for Taconite Harbor

Lee A. departs, passes Paul R. & James R.

January 6, 2007 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lee A. Tregurtha arrived a day earlier than I said here yesterday, and she departed Duluth a day earlier, leaving yesterday afternoon around 1:30 (above) and taking a load of taconite for a lower lakes port with it. It passed the Paul R. Tregurtha and the James R. Barker, two thousand footers, on the way out. All three boats are owned by Interlake Steamship Company in Cleveland. The Kaye E. Barker, another Interlake boat, will be loading … [Read more...] about Lee A. departs, passes Paul R. & James R.

Lee A. Tregurtha and North Pier Light

January 5, 2007 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

Until this spring, the Lee A. Tregurtha had been powered by the same steam turbine engine that was installed when it was built in 1942. When the last shipping season ended in January, 2006, it went to Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin to exchange that steam engine with a new diesel engine. A new controllable pitch propeller and pilot house control system now provide the captain with more direct control over his boat. The boat came out … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha and North Pier Light

Captain of Lee A. Tregurtha

May 5, 2005 by Kenneth Newhams 1 Comment

Captain James Nuzzo (above) has been Captain on the Lee A. Tregurtha since 1992. He has brought his boat here many times, along with his extremely loud, two tone whistle that he thinks is original equipment from 1942 when the boat was built. It is so loud he never uses it between 10 pm and 7 am. He is expected early afternoon, so it should be loud as ever. *submitted to the Duluth News Tribune for publication on 05-05-2005 … [Read more...] about Captain of Lee A. Tregurtha

Lee A. is first from beyond the Soo

March 27, 2005 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lee A. Tregurtha arrived Saturday afternoon at 4:01. It is the first boat to come to Duluth this season from the other side of the Soo Locks which opened early Friday morning. Although not a frequent visitor, it arrived for its only visit last season on December 31st. It did not waste any time getting here for the first visit this season. Besides being a very pretty boat, it has one of the best, loudest and oldest steam whistles on the Great … [Read more...] about Lee A. is first from beyond the Soo

Lee A. Tregurtha leads the way

March 26, 2005 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

Ice in the river below the Soo Locks delayed the departure of boats waiting to enter Lake Superior Friday morning. Instead of arriving early this morning, the first boats from beyond the Soo Locks should be arriving here this afternoon. The parade will still be led by the Lee A. Tregurtha (above). All the arrivals today came through the Soo Locks yesterday. *submitted to the Duluth News Tribune for publication on 03-26-2005 … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha leads the way

Lee A. Tregurtha

December 31, 2004 by Kenneth Newhams Leave a Comment

The Lee A. Tregurtha should be here today for the first time this season. Built in 1942 as a tanker, it made many refueling runs across the Atlantic during World War ll. It is named for the wife of the vice chairman of Interlake Steamship Company. The Paul R. Tregurtha, the largest boat on the Great Lakes, was named for her husband. The boat's whistle is a two tone steam whistle, thought to be original equipment. It is one of the loudest on the … [Read more...] about Lee A. Tregurtha
