1000 Foot Ships of the Great Lakes - All 13 Vessels!

Between 2015 and 2017, I managed to capture footage of all 13 thousand-foot lake carriers in the Duluth, Minnesota area. So it seemed like a good idea to bring them all together for one video. Some of this footage has already been uploaded to my channel as individual videos, some hasn't. But I re-edited the footage and decided to go with natural sound instead of music background this time (even if the wind noise in the microphone is slightly annoying at times). Unfortunately, three of the ships didn't offer up Captain's salutes (American Integrity, Edwin H. Gott, and Burns Harbor).

These 1000-foot ships generally carry either iron ore or coal from the western end of Lake Superior (including the ports at Duluth, Superior, Two Harbors, Silver Bay) to unload at ports in Indiana, Michigan, or Ohio.

Here are the ships covered in the video. All were recorded in Duluth, Minnesota, except where noted:

0:21 Stewart J. Cort (Superior, Wisconsin)
3:04 Presque Isle
5:28 James R. Barker
8:00 Mesabi Miner
10:40 Walter J. McCarthy
12:46 American Integrity
14:46 American Spirit
16:50 Edwin H. Gott (Two Harbors, Minnesota)
19:52 Indiana Harbor
22:05 Burns Harbor (Superior, Wisconsin)
24:45 Edgar B. Speer
28:39 American Century
32:15 Paul R. Tregurtha
