Yesterday I spent a few hours at the Duluth Harbor Canal watching ships entering and leaving the harbor and watching the lift bridge being raised 135 feet to allow the large lake freighters entry. The H. Lee White is just entering the 1,720 foot long canal as it passes the Duluth South Breakwater Outer Light. The ship was built for American Steamship in 1974 and has a length of 704 feet and is 78 feet wide in which she can carry 35,200 tons. And while she is 310 feet shorter than the largest ship on the Great Lakes, the H. Lee White still has some size to her as compared to the man fishing from the breakwater.
