First Ice
(24.5 x 18.5 in.) $1100.00

It is the morning of December 10, 2006 as the outbound S/S Kaye E. Barker of the Interlake Steamship Co. makes its way through the first ice of the season in the Duluth Harbor Basin of Superior Bay. The 767' vessel is about to make a sharp turn to the starboard and line itself up with the Duluth Ship Canal in Duluth, MN and transport its cargo of low sulfur western coal to Marquette, MI. After unloading the coal at the local power generating plant, the Barker will shift over to the ore docks and load taconite pellets destined for Mittal Steel in Indiana Harbor , IN.
