American Coal Ships Duluth Harbour.

[AussiePhil]

Hey All.
With Solar and wind going into demand in Australia the Americans haven’t lost there love for Diesel, Coal and Steel.
Hundreds watch daily Coal Ships coming into Duluth Harbour.

The Port of Duluth-Superior is considered the largest freshwater port in the world. It transports coal from Montana and Wyoming to utilities and manufacturing plants on the Lower Great Lakes. It is operated by the Duluth Seaway Port Authority.
While there are thousands of small freighters in the Great Lakes there are only 13 1,000 footers!

Hey Jiffy,
IMO Coal, Ore and National pride made American become a great, productive and powerful nation.
Unsure due to this and that if it can stay as good, I keep saying we’ve been alive in the best period.

One of these coal ships was built in 1949, 73 years old I know another built in 1959 and still going! (Obviously not a 1000 footer)

If I wasn’t Australian I’d want to be an American, The UK didn’t want us! Hahaha who laughing now!

I take it you’ve watched “John Wick” the dog bit, we only killed a dog, who’s dog? John Wick! Do you know who the F John Wick is!

All the best Jiffy.
Cheers Phil.
