About this cam

Duluth Harbor Cam's Western Harborcam looks down from the roof of Lincoln Park Middle School over the western Duluth harbor, where the curving ore dock approach tracks carry strings of ore cars out to the docks.

Duluth Harbor Cam runs this camera "from atop the Lincoln Park Middle School in Duluth", offering in its words "a unique panoramic view of the Western Duluth Harbor". The operator thanks the viewers who donated to the project and Duluth School District 709, which made the location possible.

The harbor sits where the Saint Louis River, "the largest U.S. river flowing into Lake Superior", meets the lake. The operator describes West Duluth as a historic industrial hub for steel, shipping, lumber and paper.

The foreground of the view is taken up by the elevated approach tracks of the West Duluth ore docks. On the day this record was written, they were lined with ore cars. Beyond them lie the docks themselves, stockpiles along the harbor and, on the horizon, Superior, Wisconsin.

What to watch for

Strings of ore cars on the curving elevated approach to the ore docks, lake freighters loading alongside the docks, and ships moving through the western harbor. The operator also streams a marine scanner feed on its website.
