The Dutch-flagged Medemborg and Diezeborg have been at anchor off Duluth, waiting to load grain. The Dutch ships are scheduled to come through the Duluth entry today, though there may be some glum faces aboard -- the Netherlands lost to Spain in Sunday's World Cup final.
Also today, the Canadian Olympic is scheduled to leave the Duluth entry with a load of coal. In the attached photo, the vessel arrives in Duluth on Sunday as a crowd looks on.
