The new Coast Guard Buoy Tender Alder was launched at the Marinette Marine Corporation shipyard on February 7th, 2004. More than 100 people from Duluth made the trip by car and bus for the occaison. She should be headed for Duluth in the Fall to replace the our current Coast Guard cutter Sundew. The Sundew will be decommissioned later this spring. (slide show of event) The Cason J. Calloway was the last boat to arrive in Duluth for the winter. She came in Saturday morning, January 24th. TIM SLATTERY 1951-2003 The Port Authority s magazine won t look quite the same again. But then, neither will the Duluth-Superior Harbor. No one could capture the harbor and the ships, the sunrises and the sunsets quite like photographer Tim Slattery. For more than 25 years, Tim s passion for this place was directly reflected in thousands of photos he took from every conceivable angle of every possible thing above, on and in the waters of western Lake Superior. Until his tragic death Oct. 23, Tim seemed to be an almost constant presence on the waterfront---even though his day-to-day agenda was actually filled with doing portraits or memorializing weddings and other special events for Grandmaison Photographic Studios. The Duluth Seaway Port Authority relied heavily on Tim s superb work. The covers of 16 of the past 24 issues of North Star Port had credit lines that read Photo by Tim Slattery. Most of the photos inside the magazine were also his. In the past dozen years, his art graced no less than six of the Port s award-winning wall calendars. He sometimes described himself as the Official Unofficial USCG Photographer because he had chronicled virtually every local U.S. Coast Guard activity since the 1970s while also serving in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Every staff member at the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center knew him because of his daily monitoring of ship traffic at the adjacent Duluth Ship Canal. He also was a former president and longtime member of the Lake Superior Marine Museum Association. Tim and Sue, his wife of 31 years, lived on Park Point, the long peninsula that separates Lake Superior from Superior Bay. They raised two children, Paul (Krystyn) and Jennifer (Jason) Gray and also had two grandchildren plus a third expected in December. Cheerful, upbeat, witty, enthusiastic, Tim had an infectious personality. Some people said he filled their days with sunshine. It was sunny the afternoon he died, falling out of a boat while apparently seeking, as he always was, the right angle, the right light, the right shot. Few were surprised when it rained the next morning. # # # After discharging limestone at the DM&IR Dock in West Duluth, the Roger Blough departed Duluth in the afternoon of October 21, 2003.
