Minnesota Assists the Barker
(12.5x9.75 in.) $45.00

An early winter is closing in fast on the Great Lakes, thickening the ice and making navigation difficult. The tug Minnesota, of Great Lakes Towing Co., is breaking ice for Interlake Steamship Company's 1004' M/V James R. Barker. After loading taconite pellets at the Missabe Docks in Duluth, MN the Barker is outbound, struggling through 12-18 in. of ice.
