William A Irvin

The William A Irvin is changing over to "The Haunted Ship" for the halloween season.  Before you board the freighter, you should brush up a little on the history to enhance your experience.  MinnesotaGhosts put together a great YouTube video with some great information and photos of the ship in service.

It's anticipated by many every year, the William A. Irvin Haunted Ship.  My friend Dave is the actor coordinator (involved for last 16 years and has coordinated the actors for the last 11 and he's just an all around great guy!).  They are looking for volunteers to act (aka: scare), improve (aka: scare) and SCARE the thrill seekers and there's an incentive plan!  Do you have what it takes to be gho

If you plan on traveling into Canal Park during the next couple of weeks, look out for a marked project area as there will be City of Duluth staff conducting maintenance repairs.

Every time I go on the William A. Irvin and stay the night, something new is discovered, some new story comes along to remind me how many people have seen or heard something that scares them or confirms the fact that the ship is haunted.

With the TV zombie phenomenon of 'The Walking Dead,' 'Fear The Walking Dead,' and countless movies highlighting the zombie apocalypse, you start to wonder what you would do in that situation.   What would we do, as residents of the Twin Ports, if a zombie apocalypse began here...

Thousands of thrill-seekers from all over the country make their way aboard the William A. Irvin Haunted Ship each October, enjoying the frights organizers and volunteers invest months of planning and preparation into for the scariest month of the year.

The William A. Irvin transforms every year into a haunted tour ship in October. This year promises to be even scarier. Every year they announce their theme and this year they are going with anything! This is a great opportunity to open it up to all your fears, say the organizers.

Duluth Paranormal is going to investigate the William A. Irvin October 4th. Thanks to the DECC who has invited the staff to return and investigate. This time the group will be filming their experience for a webcast as well as trying new equipment. There is one other new thing.

How cool is this! A songwriter from Minneapolis, John Mark Nelson recently filmed a music video for the song "The Moon and the Stars" on the William A. Irwin anchored here in Duluth!   If you've had the opportunity to visit the "Irvin" (which is what locals lovingly refer to it as), give the video a peek and see if you recognize where he is on the ship.

Grandma’s Marathon weekend kicked off tonight with the William A. Irvin 5K ― the first of numerous races scheduled for the 37th annual event.

Another great event that is part of Grandmas Marathon weekend is ready to open for registration this week.  However, if you want to participate you'll want to register as soon as you can as this does fill up.
