Hello to all Fandom users! My name is Tyler Scott, and I would love for everyone to know about Duluth Ships and Places Wiki. It is about a city in the United States in the state of Minnesota located along the shores of Lake Superior. It is also about the lake freighters that work the Great Lakes. I am creating this wiki so you can get the latest information about Duluth and lake freighters, my favorite subject! I love to visit Duluth every summer and I want to give people a chance to enjoy the lake freighters too.

I started to get interest in Duluth and lake freighters some years ago, just by looking at pictures and videos about them. Since then I have gone to Duluth more frequently, with the latest being the Day Out With Thomas event at the railroad museum. I was lucky enough to capture the Algoma Spirit when I was there, and that's the most rarest lake freighter in the world! I also took a picture that's on this blog. It's registered in Canada.

If you like lake freighters and Duluth, or are just interested in learning more about them, please join this wiki. So far I have created over 190 pages, but that's just the start of it. My goal is to have a page for every vessel, and pages about other things related to lake freighters including photographed videos by Alaricdogface on YouTube, their cargoes they carry, places and landmarks in Duluth, and many other topics.

I also want to start awarding pages for the Featured Article of the Month, where an article on the wiki gets nominated for the Featured Article of that month. You guys will have to vote on the article you like the best, and by the end, the article with the most votes gets awarded the Featured Article of the Month. I also want to start a poll which features random topics related to Duluth (ex. What is you favorite place/lake freighter/episode, etc.) Eventually this should be a vibrant community of lake freighter and Duluth fans. I definitely don't know everything about Duluth, nor do you guys, but I'm willing to learn, and learning is a great opportunity for first time visitors to Duluth. Maybe if more people learn about lake freighters, then there is a chance they won't be scrapped. For example, the M/V Paul R. Tregurtha is the longest lake freighter on the lakes, and it would be sad if that ship got scrapped in the future.

I would love for you to add an article about a vessel or an episode, or to help with categories and images. Or you could ask a question on my talk page, and I would be happy to help you with anything you need. I could also use some help with templates on the wiki, even though they look tricky.

I hope you will join me, and together we will make the Duluth Ships and Places Wiki awesome!
