The Manitoulin arrives in Duluth!

The Manitoulin was built in 1991 and is a self discharging bulk carrier sailing under the Flag of Canada. It is 202 meters long and 23 meters wide. Although it had rained hard we were not going to miss the opportunity to catch the Manitoulin. WE stood in the rain while it lightninged and thundered but didn't even think of taking cover!

More wonderfully crafted pieces of Steel utilized as a bridge and as a Laker. In an article several years ago they made mention how the horn had been replaced on the bridge but it wasn't liked and thr old one was put back in again

[@ajknaup3530]

Does anyone know the significance of the indian head insignia on the aft tower? Also, do ship horns have a code similar to what trains use?

This is an awesome video of the Manitoulin arriving at Duluth, Minnesota to pick up a load of taconite pellets to a Great Lakes port where the taconite will be off loaded at a steel plant. The lowering of the lift bridge was a bonus. (Posted 24 July 2024 at 2133 CDT.)
