The answer to the comment on what Pittsburgh boat is the at the 6 min. mark leaving Duluth with the turret pilot house is this:
In 1916 the Pittsburgh fleet of U. S. Steel bought six 434 to 440 foot ships from the defunct Hawgood - Acme Transit Co., each of which had that style of pilot house. They were: Bransford, renamed John H. McLean, and later the crane ship Clifford F. Hood. J. M. Jenks renamed R. R. Richardson. H. B. Hawgood, renamed Pentecost Mitchell. Wisconsin renamed A. F. Harvey (1), A. H. Ferbert (1), & Herman C. Strom. Umbria renamed MacGilvray Shiras, and the one sitting in the scrap yard at Duluth - Edwin F. Holmes, renamed E. C. Collins, and now J. B. Ford.
