Capable of hauling more cargo than six mile long freight trains, the Indiana Harbor is a perfect example of how Great Lakes shipping powers American industry. This 1,000-foot giant moves iron ore at a scale most people never see — quietly, efficiently, and every day. Here she is two months ago in 50-degree warmer weather than we have now in Sault Ste. Marie #freighter #greatlakes #shipping #boatnerd #lakesuperior | Great Freighters

These cranes on the Juno’s deck make her a “geared” bulk carrier. Polsteam vessels like this are common sights on the Great Lakes. Their cranes allow them to take on a variety of cargo from grains and coal to steel products. #Freighter #greatlakes #shipping #boatnerd #lakehuron | Great Freighters

I’m late getting all my stuff posted here… it’s going to be a busy night of me trying to catch up and share so much from yesterday! Plus I got the Florence Spirit and James R Barker today! I took this quick video yesterday from the Boatnerd Cruise in the Harbor… the Mesabi Miner had left the lock and we’re headed for Mission Point… it was perfect timing and a great way to start the cruise! They gave us a nice salute as well! Lots to share to stay tuned the rest of the night lol | DRE Designs - G
