Visit Duluth and the Duluth Seaway Port Authority's 'First Ship' contest is back for 2020, looking for guesses of when the first saltie of the season arrives.
New software has been developed from a local engineering company that allows you to live track ships in the harbor. It also provides more accurate arrival and departure times.
Even though it was a pretty chilly morning, we knew it was spring because we saw the first ship leave Duluth, the Roger Blough. This photographer captured it on video so we can celebrate the important open to the shipping season!
