The Kaye E. Barker makes its way under the Aerial Lift Bridge Friday afternoon. The laker was the first ship to depart the Duluth-Superior port.

I watch some of those too.  Always fun to see those big boats coming in and out.  And to hear them too.

Paul Tregurtha was moored at Frazier shipyards and was supposed to leave Sun afternoon but according to the online schedule it did not leave.  We had a view of the canal and were hoping to see it going out but of course did not happen.
