            The 1000 footer " Stewart J Cort " anchored five miles out from the North Gap in Current River seeking Safe Harbour from high winds on Superior since last night and it looks like she will have another sleep over tonight until the Big Lake Flattens out.
The Gales of November have started early. There are winds up to 35 - 40 knots on more than half of Superior today & tonight. The winds are coming out of the north so any ships that are out there are hugging the north shore. The ones coming out of Duluth led by the "Saginaw"are heading directly into the wind and only doing less than half their normal speed.

M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first 1000-foot vessel on the Great Lakes when she entered service for Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1972.

M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first 1000-foot vessel on the Great Lakes when she entered service for Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1972. Her bow and stern sections, built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, Mississippi, were joined together and called “Stubby” for the trip to the Great Lakes. At Erie Marine, Erie, Pennsylvania, “Stubby” was cut apart and joined with the midbody built there. The Cort is the only 1000-footer with pilot house forward. All crew accommodations are also forward. Her self-unloading system’s shuttle boom is contained within the after cabin structure. Interlake Leasing III secured the bareboat charter of the Cort in 2005. See less
