Shipping season is quite busy on the Great Lakes. This is the Cason J Callaway, a member of the Great Lakes Shipping Fleet as it offloads limestone in Duluth Minnesota.

That is a-lot of limestone , good work

Interesting, which drone is it ?

Will be running a lot lighter now!

I used the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. It did pretty good in a 20mph cross wind.

I believe it took a load of iron ore out when it left.

Fun vid.  I used to be moored opposite an operation like that near Harbor Island in Wa State.   Here they would barge it in and toss a huge frontend loader on it and scoop it onto a conveyer.
All our shipping is container ships        and          cruise ships.   You can't get close to either.

I can never get enough ships..

There are places on the Mississippi near Minneapolis that still clam-shell loads out.

Nice subject.
Very interesting to see from above.
And I even see some wagons standing on that track.

They don't run empty. Loaded both ways.
