The SS William A Irvin

 

The SS William A Irvin is now a floating museum, but during its heyday up until 1975, it was the proud flagship of the United States Steel Corporation. Built and launched in 1938, it was the first of four similar vessels in the fleet that were the workhorses of US Steel in the Great Lakes for decades.

 

I am often found walking around Duluth (and the surrounding areas) with my camera. The photo opportunities here are endless. I used this specific photo for a Photoshop project transforming it into a “digital painting”.

 

No filters - only brushes were used
