Thanks. Another of a few pleasant coincidences in my life. Long before I learned of this channel and that bridge, I used a long & two shorts (Morse “D”) to announce myself in the car, in the boat - ok, it was a rowboat & canned air horn…

After my attempt at meeting you last Friday and not being able to get to the canal park. I gave up after about 3 hours of driving around finding a place to park. Thank God for your wonderful videos! Keep them coming :-)

That must be that Captains first trip into Duluth. I don't often hear them double checking when to radio in for a lift.

@PaulScinocca 21 күн бұрын

Not sure if it was or wasn't , sometimes the bridge takes a bit to reply on the radio as well.

@jamesnelson6980 21 күн бұрын

I think the officer on the INTEGRITY said he was the mate.

@PaulScinocca 21 күн бұрын

That was the first call, the 1.5 mile call was most likely the Capt. I think..

@jamesnelson6980 21 күн бұрын

Paul, not to argue, but if you listen early on when the bridge answers the first call, the voice on the INTEGRITY says, "yes sir, this is the mate"

Hey Paul does the great lake cruise ship come to Diluth?

@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy 21 күн бұрын

Couldn't help but wonder if anyone in the crowd ever used one of those Airhorns in a Can and saluted back to the ship? It seems like it would be a fun thing for the crowd to do.

@PaulScinocca 21 күн бұрын

I've heard it over at the Superior Entrance, most of the time since there is no bridge, there is no salute, someone decided the canned horn may trigger a salute.
