The Bayfield

We had about a half hour wait for the next bulk tanker to come through the canal. We would then get to see the lift bridge raise. This little tug sits near the museum and the canal, so I was able to get a nice drawing while we waited.  You can see a bit of the bridge behind the tug boat on the left and the bridge tower above the boat as well. This little boat was a Corpse of Engineers vessel. There were a few day lilies blooming below the prow of this gem; a bit late for flowers to bloom in the Duluth area. It was October 18th and very warm.                                                    
Done as most of these sketches in a 5" x 9" sketch pad with a Zebra ball point pen.
