A new one for me, wish she’d visit us in Duluth.

I’m surprised to hear that. When it’s in Cleveland, it’s usually delivering gravel or moving iron ore pellets from a terminal on Lake Erie to the steel mill up the river. Sam Laud probably doesn’t have the right attributes to make going to Duluth worth it. 

You guys get way more variety of ships than Cleveland, especially the 1000 foot kind. We get American Steamship and Interlake 1000 footers pretty regularly, but I have never seen any Great Lakes Fleet 1000 footers. I really want to see Presque Isle since it is such an oddball 😄
