The Duluth-Superior Harbor
sparkles under the lens of PBS
eight’s photographers in this
award-winning documentary,
Working Waterfront: A Harbor Portrait.
The one-hour program captures the striking
image of the waterfront, as well as the
dedication and character of the people
involved in the local shipping industry and
the diversity of their port occupations. In
a two week span our crew boarded ten
vessels-4 lake carriers, 2 salt water
vessels, a fueling barge, a tour boat, a
pilot boat and a tugboat. At every turn, we
spoke with Captains and crew members, ship
agents and dock workers as they went about
their daily tasks. This program takes you
inside the local maritime industry and
introduces you to a close knit family with
intimate ties to the water, and the port. If
you've ever wanted to climb up a gangway,
take the wheel in the pilot house or crawl
around the engine room you’ll enjoy
Working Waterfront.
