Built in 1910 (!!!!), the tugboat North Dakota has surely lent it's efforts to some legendary lakers...
On this bitterly cold day in Green Bay, WI, she shoves hard on the side of Algosteel trying to turn her stern into the berth. Earlier this day that 12-cylinder pre-EMD Cleveland diesel was fun to listen to as it kept the local area clear of ice.
It wasn't too long after I took this image that there was a very loud BANG, and large cloud of smoke as North Dakota's diesel gave up. Any fire was quickly extinguished, and assistance was rendered by the tugboat Barbara Andrie and the USCG Mobile Bay, both on hand to assist with the docking of one of the last movements for the season into the Port of Green Bay.

Algosteel herself looks a bit worse for the wear, a true veteran of the Great Lakes.

The 1898-built Gull Harbour lighthouse stands guard as the aurora borealis plays overhead...I can only imagine all the light shows this structure has witnessed over the years. Until the mid-1960's there was a permanent lighthouse keeper who lived nearby, must have been a great job if you like being alone and in the dark.

There is still some lingering twilight in the northwestern sky as an auroral arc reveals itself in the coming darkness...underneath it all, the laker Edwin H. Gott is downbound with an early-season load of taconite for the hungry steel mills at Gary, IN. This would turn out to be an outstanding night for me, with an all-night aurora display over Lake Superior. Near Eagle Harbor, MI on March 28, 2017. #puremichigan

The Riverton/Gimli area of Manitoba is sometimes referred to as "New Iceland" due to the history of the area, which saw a large migration of Icelanders back in the late-1800's. Reminders of that heritage are everywhere, including many Iceland national flags alongside Canada's; as well as the unique hybrid seen here.
