It is really deep off two harbors, not a good anchorage.Scott wrote:Is there a reason why freighters waiting a turn at Two Harbors anchor off of Duluth rather than closer to Two Harbors? Just curious.

Water off of Two Harbors is very deep making anchoring difficult. Plus wind direction.

Lots of West to NW winds this time of the yr. Duluth end of the lake would be the lee.Scott wrote:Is there a reason why freighters waiting a turn at Two Harbors anchor off of Duluth rather than closer to Two Harbors? Just curious.

Safer anchorage off of Park Point
Re: On The Hook At Duluth
In moderately windy to very windy conditions a ship's crew probably has a better chance of getting a better 'hold' at anchor off Duluth than Two Harbors. Has to do with the differences in depth of the water, the slope/shape of the underwater terrain, and the bottom material between the two locations.
