Re: H Lee White
While I am not sure of the total number of ballast tanks, they all have to be cleaned prior to a vessel entering drydock for the 5 year (now 6 years). This includes all the sand etc that has been sucked in when making ballast for the various cargos or weather conditions. It is a lot of material and...

Re: Duluth question
That Port Authority slip was recently rebuilt as an international laydown area so it might be a new warehouse. The harbor camera is zoomed too close right now so I can't discern but a lot of development has happened in the last couple of years. Like garbear, I haven't been there during the nightmare...

Re: CN ore dock, Duluth
Saw a picture posted on facebook of the stacker/reclaimer. Boom is on the ground with structural damage. Crew working on Christmas day on repairs, but repairs may take days or weeks. In the mean time, CN is running 40 car shuttle trains back up the hill and onto the dock from the stockpile to keep ...

Re: Walter J McCarthy Jr. - blue paint on superstructure
Did it have to do with ASC's contract to haul coal for Detroit Edison? The St. Clair also had part of her self-unloading hydraulic support painted the same shade of blue. Both vessels were constructed for the hauling contract and we're largely dedicated to the run for most of their lives this far. ...

You're in my thoughts and prayers Dawn. The medical community does a pretty good job with orthopedics these days. My Dad, 10 years your senior, has been repaired and we still go skiing and biking often.

That was really unhinged! That fool really waited too long to make altitude to get under. I hope he pays.

Thanks Garbear, that was really interesting. Kind of sore to watch however because I design and make the steel parts for buildings like that.

I'm so sorry to hear that Dawn! I hope you'll heal up quickly.
In the mean time, I'll miss your pictures and I hope you can make it to more salute exchanges.

By memory, a story in the late 80's or early 90's from the Minneapolis Strib of a lady that panicked and ran off the bridge during lift to her gruesome demise ended this delightful opportunity.
