The giant 1000' ore carrier 'American Integrity' begins it's turn starboard, at a blazing 4 knots, as it approaches the exit canal from the Duluth, Minnesota harbor heading for Michigan with 64,000 tons of soft coal. Once the turn was completed it passes under the lift bridge before entering Lake Superior. Yes...I know, I know, ...the lamp post with the bird on top; I tried to edit it out but failed. (PSE7). It is awesome to witness this so close as it passes by. Bob
