Paula poses in front of the William A. Irvin. The Irvin is retired and is now a floating museum. Built in the 1930's, the Irvin carried iron ore and taconite pellets from the right iron ranges of Minnesota to the steel mills in Pittsburgh, PA. |

The top side of the Irvin. Hatch covers keep water out of the hold of the Irvin in bad weather. In the left background is Duluth's famous Aerial Bridge. Many thousands of boats have come and gone under the bridge. |

The engine room of the William A. Irvin. The ship is powered by giant two steam driven turbine engines. |

Here is Mark at the wheel of the William A. Irvin. Even at
dock, this great ship of the Great Lakes is impressive.
