Retired Duluth Port Director Davis Helberg has been inducted into the Great Lakes Marine Hall of Fame at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

A plaque with Mr. Helberg’s image and brief biographical information has been placed in the Museum Ship Valley Camp near the Soo Locks. Selections to the hall of fame are made by LeSault Historic Sites and the Soo Locks Visitor Center Association.

Mr. Helberg, who retired from the Duluth Seaway Port Authority in 2003 after 24 years as executive director, has been involved in Great Lakes shipping since 1958. He held office in several maritime organizations and also was a writer for various national and regional publications.

He is the second Duluthian named to the hall of fame since its creation in 1955. Wesley Harkins, marine writer and photographer and former Fraser Shipyards public relations director, was selected in 2004.
