On a January morning, Jennifer and I wake up early and hurry to the tip of Wisconsin Point – a three mile long natural sand spit reaching out into Lake Superior and separating this great lake from the Duluth-Superior harbor. Wisconsin Point, along with its twin, Minnesota Point, make up one of the longest freshwater sandbars in the world.
However, geography is not our focus this morning. Instead, we’re here to meet the Great Lakes Freighter, John Munson, as it comes into port for a the winter layup.
Iron and diesel -
