Here is a look back at some of the highlights of the 2020 Great Lakes shipping season that I recorded during my 22 visits to Duluth that year. A total of 40 different lake carriers are shown here. If you're new to this channel, lake carriers are ships that travel between ports on the Great Lakes carrying a variety of cargoes including iron ore, coal, limestone, salt, grain, and cement.For this video, I first considered just putting together a compilation of the best ship salutes for 2020. But that would have been missing out on so many of my favorite moments from the season. Instead this compilation is something of a highlight reel, including at least one clip from each lake carrier that I captured on camera... with an emphasis on showing a variety of views in the Duluth, Superior, and Two Harbors area. A few of my favorite ships appear twice, which we'll call editor's privilege! I didn't include any saltwater ships for this video, as I wanted to just focus on lake carriers for now. (I might do a salties compilation in the future.) If your favorite lake carrier is missing, it's mostly like because it did not visit the Duluth area in 2020 or I was unable to capture it on camera during one of my visits.For each ship, I included information on screen showing the year that the ship went into service, the overall length of the ship, and the cargo carrying capacity in tonnage. I also considered including the top speed of each ship, but realistically they all fall in the 13-16 knots range... so it seemed pointless to keep repeating the same stats over and over again.I kept each clip for each ship around 1-2 minutes in length, just to keep the overall length of this video somewhat manageable. Despite that, the full video is still 79 minutes long. I realize not everyone will be willing to sit through the entire video. Therefore, if you wish to seek out your favorite ship(s), below are the time stamps for each vessel, along with a link to the original (and longer) video for each ship. Click on the original video link if you wish to know the date and location of each clip. The original video descriptions also contain information about the loads that were being hauled.0:00 Algoma Guardian https://youtu.be/Did0yuj5HhM1:35 James R.
