The Algoma Buffalo, a 635 foot long lake freighter, about to pass under the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota. People gather at the water's edge almost every time a freighter comes in, and clap and wave. These ships have typically been sailing for several days by the time they hit Duluth.
That thing looks tired as fuck.
No kidding.
Its clearly an old vessel but even the fact that the lifeboat is a white open style is strange to me, but the American domestic shipping industry is alien to the rest of the world anyway.
