www delivers information right on the dot
The explosive growth of the Internet has made information about the Great Lakes and myriad maritime topics available to virtually anyone in the world who knows that a mouse doesn't squeak — it clicks.
Many Internet sites provide legitimate, important and entirely credible information. Others, we must say, are just plain whacky.
On this page we present a list of some of the sites that we visit as we search for information related to our business at the Duluth Seaway Port Authority. We would welcome your comment on this list. E-write to: admin@duluthport.com.

Two hot sites
For boat nerds everywhere — and they are legion — the ultimate site is: http://www.boatnerd.com
The links on Boatnerd will take you to museums and maritime societies, domestic and international firms doing business on the Great Lakes, magazines and newspapers, tours and cruises and even Doc Shaw's model ships. (We don't know Doc, but we trust that his or her ships are models of the modeling world.)
Warning: Boatnerd is so intriguing that you might find yourself spending a whole lot more time there than you expected to.
Another site that is prominent among our bookmarks is WebRing. Looking for a boat to buy? A B&B to lodge in? Diving gear for rent? Facts about lighthouses? A photo archive of the Welland Canal? More, more, more? Go to:
Weather, etc.
