DULUTH - This weekend marked the beginning of the end of the 2014
shipping season when the Palmerton passed
beneath the Aerial Lift Bridge around 12:30 early Saturday morning.
The Palmerton was
the last oceangoing vessel, also called a “saltie”, to call on The Port of
Duluth–Superior this year.
The 436–foot ship arrived earlier in the week to drop off
project cargo at The Public Marine Terminal in Duluth, and is scheduled to make
a stop in Erie, Pennsylvania on its outbound voyage to Europe.
