On the front: The Lake Superior is spending her last months berthed at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center. Officials plan to remove the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tug from the slip, allowing tourists to spend more time on two additional floating attractions — the retired ore carrier William A. Irvin and the former Coast Guard cutter Sundew, which opened for tours last July after its May decommissioning.
