This is the underside of the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN.  To get the best view of the ships as they enter the canal going to or from Lake Superior I suggest you stay at the South Pier Inn which you can see in the background.  Lovely rooms and suites.

The Aerial Lift Bridge is a major landmark in the port city of Duluth, Minnesota. The span is a vertical lift bridge, which is rather uncommon, but it began life as an extremely rare transporter bridge—the first of just two such bridges ever constructed in the United States.^[2] Originally built in 1905, the bridge was upgraded in 1929–30 to the current lifting design and continues to operate today. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1973. A maritime museum maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers exists near the site of the bridge.
