Found these pics on the Minnesota Historical Society website. For those of us who spent time there, hope these bring back fond memories of life on the North Shore. Enjoy.

Good info, chief. I love those old photos.

Although I'm sure you are aware, Sta North Superior is in Grand Marais, Minnesota and Sta Grand Marais is in Michigan.

In fact I didn't know that,two cities with same name with a CG station,interesting,how far apart are they???

Opposite ends of Lake Superior, within the same Group, or Sector as they're now called. Can get confusing at times for watchstanders.

Used to be different Groups - Duluth and Sault St. Marie. At times, watchstanding can be interesting up there in the lakes...odd comms...

Yep, and when Duluth was a Group, Sta N Superior was a fulltime station, not a SARDET as it is now. There are still lakers to this day that hail us as "Group Duluth" on the radio.

It looks so different now. I take a pic or two every time I'm up there and they always look the same but between '40 and now... oh how times have changed.

Anyone know when the break walls and parking lot were finished?

I'm thinking late 80's, early 90's. I got there in '92 and it was done then.

Is Station North Superior a summer reserve unit? I think it once was when I was on the Sundew.

I don't believe so. I got there in '92 and since then, it's been a SARDET manned by rotating crews during the summer months from Sta Duluth. It was shut down as a full-time station during the mid/ late 80's RIF under Reagan, I believe. If anyone knows different, please post. There has been talk of making it a Summer Stock (reserve) station from time to time, but hasn't happened yet.

I'm going up there next weekend (it's MEA). I'm looking forward to taking a few fresh photos. I would have loved to been there 60 years ago... lots of development since then. Now there are condos anywhere there's no water

I have a USB key full of photos from the harbor. I thought I could copy/paste them but it won't let me.
Can anyone give me some photo-posting tips?

You've got to put them on the web somewhere else and use the "image" button to post them here.

Okay, thanks... I'll have my new pics up this week.

Station North Lake Superior is a seasonal active duty station. It is agumented by the crew from Station Duluth on one week rotations. They do one week in Grand Marais, then two back in Duluth.

Used to love going up there when I was at ANT Duluth. Loved Sven and Ollies pizza too.

You haven't been to Grand Marais if you haven't eaten at Sven and Ole's

I am looking for anyone Stationed at Station North Superior around 1967 when Keith Brubaker died while on duty. Don't have many details other than he appears on the CG list of those Killed in Service. He reportedly fell overboard and drowned. I know he was from Michigan and returned there for burial.

His death certificate indicates he was married to Sandra Jane Nelson, but I have not found her yet.

Thanks,
