About the Miner, from the Interlake site:

Interesting Facts
She is the sister ship of the James R. Barker.
1978, she loaded the first cargo of ore at DM&IR's new loading dock in Two Harbors, Minnesota.
In 1986, she became the first thousand footer to deliver coal in the Saginaw River.
She was the final vessel to arrive for lay-up at the Twin Ports in 2006.

This brought a smile to my face!! Good to see so many folks there to welcome her.
Awesome! Glad it was enjoyed!
She’s one of my favorites. I love her name. Hopefully I will get a chance to see her. I had the honor of seeing the beautiful Arthur Anderson In Marquette Michigan yesterday. That was a surprise. ❤
I've seen her several times. She's a beautiful ship with a happy crew!
Excellent, one of my favorite Classic Lakers!
@@PaulScinocca I had to send a couple pictures to Cedric too. He enjoyed that.
Great video! Lots of folks in town for the marathon. Glad they could pack the canal to welcome the "Miner"!
First time I've posted on your video's. You do a good job and the editing is great. I appreciate the ships and your work.
That was exceptional. Beautiful day, huge crowd and a “footer” in the canal. How could you go wrong? Really loved this one.
It wad a great day! Thanks Greg.
A nice ship and a great salute
Indeed it is!
Nice one Paul
Thank You!
Nice crowd, hope they enjoyed the show..👌
It was, in normal weather during the afternoon and early evening, with it being officially "tourist season", there should be quite the crowds at the canal.
That dual tone sounds so good man, I wish they'd use both horns together more often.
Just curious why they have two horns.
They do sound great when they do the dual!
Different uses, one for signaling ships ore other vessels, the other tone is generally used for their fog horn, I think. Guessing also having 2 horns also gives them a backup..
Thanks for showing the crowd in the opening two minutes., Nice touch.
You bet! thanks.
Nice! Looks like she has a new coat of paint on her hull.
She is looking pretty spiffy for sure!
Wow, huge crowd on hand to welcome the Mesabi Minor. Great salute as well...⚓📣
Indeed!
That's awesome kool 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
@@PaulScinocca your very welcome
Love the horns on the big lakers. Looks like a nice day for boat watch ing😊
Indeed it was!
Awesome videos but still not like being there, I wish there was a way to convey the massiveness of these mighty machines! Made a last minute trip to Duluth Thursday night, saw 5 boats in 13 hours! Caught the Mich. and the Barker Thursday night…awesome!
Perfect day to boat-watch, nice to see the big crowd. Not a fan of so much narration but apparently most people see it differently.
Thanks for sticking with, a lot of no narration video's coming up.. :-)
I agree considering too much narration, as it is distracting somewhat😮😮😮
I wonder if Paul has to wear a disguise so not to be mobbed by the fans...🤔
🤣 it's always fun to meet the fellow enthusiasts, like minded folks!
His security team handles the problems, no worries
