A horn happy Zeuss/Deegan tug/barge arriving Duluth with Calcium Chloride July 25, 2021

Описание: Normally a Superior entry, I heard the Captain on the radio call the Bridge and tell them they were coming into Duluth, his crew wanted to be Facebook Famous..... He came in with salutes for about every 500' of the Canal, making sure to tap all the people on the Piers. This is their First Duluth arrival this season, 3rd in total counting their Superior Entries. They are arriving with Calcium Chloride from Ludington MI, delivering to Envirotech - Hallett 8 in Superior. They will be discharging at Hallett 8 for the next 17.6 hours.
