I remember last summer I just missed seeing the Michipecoten in Marquette. She was heading out when I got her pictures. Then I just happened to check the marine traffic app and seen the Saginaw was in Marquette this summer. Let’s just say that was the fastest I ever got in the car and got to Marquette to see her lol Then last month I caught her again with the Manitowoc coming in. Neat being there at night with all the lights on the ore dock and the ships. Sent pictures to Cedric lol
...and still gave a salute in the middle of it, how about that. You must have been cold out there on the breakwater, you earned that one.
Thanks, it was a sharp wind on the breakwall
WOW that Captain has done that a few times. Thank you Paul for sharing
I agree! That was some pretty impressive docking.
That's an amazing demonstration of skill and experience...⚓📣👍
Indeed it was!
Another fantastic capture from the "Two Harbors Specialist"! She's still nimble after all these years.
Indeed she is!
Very nice. Love videos from Two Harbors as ship spotters don’t go out there too often. Great job.
Thank you very much! I am among the ones not going there often...
@PaulScinocca The only one who does with any regularity is 1L2S. I think Ellsworth sent 1 or 2 pieces.

Nice!
Built in Manitowoc, 1953, still sailing strong, folding hatches (last on the lakes) and all.
That they are!
So interesting. Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Paul! You weren't kidding on how close they got to the breakwall
I was amazed, never seen a ship come in like that, and so well.
That's a crew that knows their ship and what she can do.
No doubt!
The wind was his friend today
The best I can do with my little 4 door "grocery getter" is to park at Walmart between the 2 yellow lines.
Lol 😆
Almost looks like, crank it hard left and let the wind blow you into the dock.
That could be! Either way it was well done !
