We were just up there. Saw a couple ships come in. Both were daytime shots, though (no nighttime arrivals while we were there). Did not realize there was a light on the bridge that also did the salute at night. One of them was the Anderson, which did a master salute!
Probably the Anderson, her history having alot to do with that. I lived all but the last three years in Toledo Ohio. Not much I miss about it, but I do miss those boats!
The horn has changed or been adjusted over the years, it sounded different pre-2011 than it's current sound, heat/cold affect it as well. Supposedly it is a Westinghouse 6-chime horn, similar to on trains but I'm made to believe this horn is specially made for the bridge. It certainly adds to the excitement of the horn greetings. It's fun to watch people new to Duluth look in surprise at the bridge when it responds to a vessel.
While I like classic freighters like the Anderson, I must say I take a liking to the appearance of certain saltwater ships, like Cornelia or HHL Congo.
Sadly, very unlikely. It wasn't anywhere near as easy or cheap to record video back in 1975 and earlier. An audiocassette may exist. However, it's still not very likely.
Nothing beats the Anderson’s and Barkers salutes
I like the roger blough
You and me both
You and me and you 3

Love the low bellow of Canadian Olympic, but they are ALL wonderful! Thanks for posting. God bless America and all the ships at sea!

Big Paul tregurtha. The best by far
Awesome compilation! Liked Cornelia
Thanks a lot!
10 year old footage looks like it was filmed with a potato, but other than that cool video. I love a good sail by salute.
That's more or less accurate about that clip, camera was very cheap for its time.
Thanks for watching.
@@NorthlandTrains Still, about what I'd expect from a non-professional 2009 video.
The Bridge Horn got the Roger Blough up to its signature loud salute 3L2S! 3:44, Too wimpy & 4:01, That's more like it!
Just needed to clear it's throat a little.
Ah, the master salute! Immediately following a captain's salute, too!
My brother was on the Olympic way back when
I was always wondering where the train horn was coming from now I know it was the bridges horn lol

Why is the Alfonso in the thumbnail when you didn’t record that ship saluting?
Hey Northland, which of these ships was your favorite?
While I like classic freighters like the Anderson, I must say I take a liking to the appearance of certain saltwater ships, like Cornelia or HHL Congo.
@@NorthlandTrains I personally like the massive ones, namely the Mesabi Miner, James R Barker, and the Paul R Tregurtha.
3:24
6:42
Big Paul trigurtha the best by far
Do you know what model of horn the lift bridge has?
some type of Westinghouse 6-Chime, or dual 3-chime (3 facing the lake, 3 facing the harbor)
@@NorthlandTrains OK, I always thought it had a K5LL
@@NorthlandTrains I just found out the horns are in fact dual WABCo horns, but I can't find the model.

Anyone got a recording of the fitz?
