1000-footer | Paul R. Tregurtha

The Tregurtha is actually 1013 feet in length making it the largest ship sailing on the Great Lakes. Here's a two-part video I shot on June 6th from the north pier lighthouse and then July 31st from the Marine Museum viewing platform in Duluth's Canal Park, enjoy.

Nice video! I have always liked her horns. What did you use to make your video? Cool style.

Thank you.

For this I used my Aiptek HD camera and edited the footage using Windows Movie Maker.

Thank you so very much for this!!

Love the sound of her horn,....and the size of her, WOW!!! I'm from Hamilton, and sadly because of her size, we cannot get her in here, nor the Welland Canal!! Looks so beautiful there, much better than the entrance to our harbor

Very well done,

Again, Thank you!!

At 1,013 feet, 6 inches long, the Paul R. Tregurtha is the largest boat on the Great Lakes. She comes to Duluth about once a week and almost always loads coal, usually for Detroit Edison power plants. She was built as the William J. Delancey in 1981 in Lorain, Ohio. She received her new name in the spring of 1990. Paul Tregurtha was born in 1935 and is an officer of the Interlake Steamship Company, the owner of the ship
