The Lee Tregurtha transited through the ice on its way to load iron ore pellets at BN dock in Superior WI. Note the ice shacks out there..

Maybe you guys could start a new thread?

We're talking about the spotlights on that boat, in general.

Speaking of lights on a boat, and not on the Great Lakes. I remember a fishing boat came into the harbour and left their amazing bright lights on, all night long. Lit up the whole area, the people living in the village nearby asked the to shut them off at night if they weren't using them. It was like day time around the boat.

With a NEer blowing here, all the boats came off the lake, exception is a few going up the eastern shore.

Not too many onlookers out there to see her arrive.

The Joe Block pulling up to the dock in Two Harbor in Gale winds. Who needs thrusters? The Block is reputed to be the most maneuverable boat on the lakes and build to get up the rivers.

Its pretty chilly to be on the waterfront this time of the year.

About 2:30 you can see the American flag snapping straight out. Imagine the tonnage of wind pressure on the side of that entire ship. Wow.
