Скачать или смотреть On the Bong! The Dirk S VanEnkevort Departing C.Reiss. Viewed from the center of the Bong Bridge!

190' between the "piers" on this Grassy Point Bridge, The Duluth Canal is 300" between the Piers. I am always amazed just how well they get these huge ships through this bridge. Keep in mind, wind, river current must make this a lot more difficult than it looks!
About this visit:
They arrived Duluth August 23, 2023 at 9:19:00 PM with a cargo of Limestone for the C. Reiss dock. They arrived at the Reiss dock at 23:24 and began the discharging of the stone. 16.6 hours later on August 24, 15:59 they departed the dock. Which you can watch in this video!
They headed down river and stopped at Cenovus to fuel up, then departed Duluth in Ballast, heading to Silver Bay to load Iron Ore.
