What to Watch Today

  • Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
  • Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
  • Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

here is where it is docked for the day…this is the only time the Viking Polaris will be here this summer, its sister ship, the Viking Octantis, is scheduled to dock twice in Duluth this summer, arriving from Toronto on July 27 before setting off on a Great Lakes cruise, and coming back again on Aug. 24
