Other sketches from around the canal


 These 2 lighthouses sit across the canal from each other- west and east. This east one is the larger and may still be used??  The small vessel came churning past us as we waited for the large cargo vessel, the Beatrix, to leave its moorings and exit the harbor.

 We had come to Duluth primarily to see the lift bridge and the museum there.  The 2 lighthouses are at the entrance to the canal into the Duluth harbor. This they call the west lighthouse I have been told; it is the smaller of the 2 but probably the more picturesque of the 2.
Sea gulls were constantly overhead in the late afternoon, and occasionally landed close by on the wall along the pier,

These sketches include one of the east lighthouse from across the lift bridge. 
It is a view looking over the timber opening in the breakwater next to the pier. We crossed the bridge on foot and stuck our feet in the waters of lake Superior at the suggestion of Aunt Dorothy.      
Superimposed over that sketch is one from the canal park of the Nels J- a small landlocked vessel turned eatery called "Crabby 'ol Bill's".
