In August 2005,
I took a trip with the Wisconsin Lighthouse District or WILD organization
on the Keweenaw Star. We cruised from Houghton through the Apostle
Islands and through the Superior Entry past Wisconsin Point to
Duluth before continuing along Minnesota's arrowhead coast to
Two Harbors and Split Rock. While we were upbound, we had occasion
to pass the ore hauler St Clair, which provided a unique opportunity
to photograph a Great Laker in mid Lake Superior. We
were also fortunate to be able to photograph the St Clair from
the water as she passed through the Superior Entry on her way
to the Superior, Wisconsin ore docks to take on a load of taconite
pellets.
