Thank you! ____________________ Here is the Burns Harbor departing Superior, Wisconsin on the evening of January 6, 2025. She had just loaded taconite (iron ore) pellets from the Burlington Northern dock and was outbound for Lake Superior. She would eventually make her way to her namesake port of Burns Harbor, Indiana to offload the ore. This was the last cargo run for the Burns Harbor for the 2025-2026 shipping season. A week later, the Burns Harbor would return to Superior to begin her winter layup... but that's a subject for another video coming soon! I wasn't sure how much we would see of the Burns Harbor departure, given the darkness in Superior. But the low hanging clouds helped to reflect some of the city lights back down on the harbor... giving us enough light to see the action. There was no salute from the Burns Harbor on departure, but that's not a big surprise. Not only was I the sole person present at the pier to wave her off, but we haven't been getting salutes from the Burns Harbor in Superior for quite a while now. The captain who was giving us the salutes previously must have either retired or moved on to another vessel. Keen-eyed viewers might be able to catch the Burns Harbor's fleet mate Indiana Harbor in the background, already sitting in winter layup at the Lakehead Pipeline dock. She had arrived a day earlier to begin her hibernation. Also, in the final shot of the video, you can see a vessel out in the lake. That is the Mark W. Barker, who would come into Superior a short while later to load taconite, now that the BN5 dock was vacated. The 1000-foot Burns Harbor was launched in 1979 and made her maiden voyage in 1980, making her the tenth of the thirteen 1000-footers to enter service. She is powered by four GM Electro-Motive 20-645-E7 3,600 b.h.p. (2,648 kW) two-stroke cycle, single-acting V-20 cylinder diesel engines burning marine diesel oil. Her cargo capacity is 80,900 tons, held in seven cargo holds that are accessed by 37 deck hatches. Her 250-foot self-unloading boom can discharge up to 9,000 tons of iron ore an hour.
