Harbor Lookout

Harbor Lookout offers a clear window into the shipping activity across western Lake Superior—including Duluth, MN; Superior, WI; Two Harbors, MN; and Silver Bay, MN. Explore an interactive map and ship list to view real-time details for each vessel—including arrival estimates, vessel size, heading, speed, and cargo information. Use estimated arrival and departure times together with each ship’s live location to plan your visit and experience vessels passing through in person. Prefer to watch from afar? Harbor Lookout provides direct access to strategically placed cameras throughout the region so you can observe ship traffic remotely. Enable push notifications for ship arrivals and departures so you never miss a vessel. For visitors and newcomers, the app also includes a brief history of the Aerial Lift Bridge, the port cities, and the cargo vessels that work the western side of Lake Superior.

- Maps now show a shape that represents the actual dimensions of the ship instead of a dot or arrow (at lower zoom levels).
