Last week, American Century (1981) had just departed SMET with low sulfur coal as H. Lee White (1974) departed Cenovus fuel in Duluth while loaded with iron ore pellets for Toledo (May 28th, 2026).

Last Thursday, Midwest Energy's former frequent 1000-foot visitors were loading in Duluth-Superior Harbor. Paul R. Tregurtha (1981), now dedicated to ore runs, was loading at CN Dock 6 while American Century (1981) loaded her second-to-last coal load at SMET. Seeing two 1000-footers loading at the same time in the same frame will become rare, if not end altogether, once SMET closes down at the end of June (May 28th, 2026).

Yesterday, Canada Steamship's Rt. Hon Paul J. Martin (1973) was unloading salt from Windsor at Envirotech-Hallett #8 in Superior as 1013-foot Paul R. Tregurtha (1981) departed CN Dock 6 in the distance with iron ore pellets for Cleveland (March 29th, 2026).

Back on National Maritime Day, ATB Dirk S. VanEnkevort (1990) and Michigan Trader (2020) departed Duluth light for Silver Bay to load iron ore pellets for Toledo. The pair ploughed through some significant waves once outside the canal (May 22nd, 2026).

Happy Freighter Friday!

While on a work trip to Sault Ste. Marie last month, I was able to capture 2 classic Interlake freighters passing each other above the locks. Kaye E. Barker (1952) passed fleet-mate Lee A. Tregurtha (1942) upbound heading to Marquette for more iron ore pellets (April 21st, 2026).

Marquette has been a busy place so far this season! About a month ago, I was lucky to catch an ore train on the LS&I dock as Lee A. Tregurtha (1942) and Herbert C. Jackson (1959) were waiting or loading (April 20th, 2026).

About a month ago, we had Hon. James L. Oberstar (1959) in port beginning SMET's short and last season in operation. As previously mentioned, DTE Energy's 50 year lease of the dock is coming to an end soon with their Belle River Power Plant being converted to natural gas. Oberstar loaded coal for a quick shuttle over to Graymont for unloading that morning (April 26th, 2026).
