| The Duluth shipping environment is an experience found no where else in the world. When some ships are trying to avoid ice, these ships are careening towards it at full speed. Some boat captains get kind of queasy if their boat gets a scratch on it. In Duluth, the scratches on the boats are as bountifully as the cargo they carry. Cargo that the ships carry can exceed 60 thousand tons and could contain as much as five million feet of lumber. But that cargo comes with a hefty price. Duluth ship captains have to navigate water invested with blood sucking lampreys and fog so thick, few horns can penetrate it. |
