⚓️Fireworks & Snow: Largest Ship Leaves Duluth with a Bang!

This video captures an unforgettable winter scene in Duluth, Minnesota, as powerful fireworks light up the night sky above Bentleyville, where over five million holiday lights glow brightly. The dramatic display takes place alongside the departure of the largest ship on the Great Lakes, the Paul R. Tregurtha. With light snow falling and ice covering the ground, the ship makes its way under Duluth’s iconic Aerial Lift Bridge and heads out onto the cold waters of Lake Superior, creating a breathtaking and unforgettable moment.

The combination of exploding fireworks (November 22nd), Bentleyville’s dazzling lights, and the sheer size of the Paul R. Tregurtha (November 26th) showcases the perfect winter scene. The snow adds a peaceful touch to the night, while the ice-covered ground and freezing conditions highlight the resilience of Great Lakes shipping. At 25 degrees Fahrenheit with a 15-degree windchill, this video captures the raw beauty and power of a Duluth, Minnesota, winter.

This video is perfect for anyone who loves ships, winter, and spectacular light shows. Be sure to watch the entire video to experience this amazing blend of light, snow, and maritime power as it all unfolds in Duluth, Minnesota.

That’s quite the ship. I was a Coast Guard Officer and stationed in Duluth 20 years ago. Beautiful place and I’d love to make it back up there someday.

Agree with the Coast Guard Officer who commented earlier. As a veteran US Navy, Duluth looks like the ideal place for me. It seems to have everything I enjoy. Too bad this 80 plus year old is drydocked and barely able walk and travel these days. Were I 50 or 60 years younger things would be a lot different.

Hey Mike, and all the Global Boat Friend Nation, from a cold and breezy Bismarck. What a video this was as you have a night shoot, with a low ceiling, no wind to speak of, the beautiful lights of Duluth and Bentlyville showing off her colors as well. Wow, then to top it off you have “Big Hoss” outbound with a full load of Wyoming Coal coming through the canal as quiet as a Church Mouse…. And if that Big Beast was not enough, then you have Fireworks besides which add their own sound and colors besides. I mean this shoot had everything!!!! I was half expecting to see Santa and his sled and Reindeer flying over the lift bridge it was that good! I do not know what you plan to top this one, but I cannot wait. This was a classic Mike, and I ain’t lying brother!

[NorthshoreLover-gkzv]

What a great show with some fireworks, Bentleyville and a ship. Thanks Mike!
