Re: Photo Collection
I think it is the Joseph S. Young, too. It received a squat funnel like shown when repowered with a Unalfow in 1959 and the vessel in the photograph has distinctive bridge wings, as did the Young.Could it be the Joseph S. Young? I was just looking at the photo of her I had posted earlier. Probably not her, but just a thought.
Re: Photo Collection
Looks like the the Robert C. Stanley straight ahead of the Clarke, to the left of the Eugene P. Thomas, and at least two of the Supers one of which is the Voorhees by the looks of it. Seems like there are more masts sticking up than stacks visible so they're probably all there rafted together. What a cool sight to see!

G&W installed it at the Brilliant Sign Co. dock in the Cuyahoga River. Any guess about the name of the self unloader tied up in front of the Falk? Mike
In reviewing my previous post about this possibly being the Sylvania, the appearance of the stack makes me wonder if it isn't the Fred A. Manske prior to is sale to Westadale in 1976.

Could it be the Sylvania? I believe that during this timeframe it was heavily involved in moving coal from Toledo to the Detroit area.
Re: Photo Collection
After these I have to do some more digging. I know I have posted multiple photos of the same boat, but they are different views. They are/were some of my favorites. If I've posted some of these photos already I apologize.

Re: Photo Collection
Garbear, could you email me your credits for these photos so I can save them on my machine?garbear wrote:Once again I want to thank everyone who have enjoyed the photos. Can't say I'll post everyday, but I'll see what I can do. A lot of the photos I haven't seen in 10-15 yrs., so some I don't even remember.
Keeps me busy and that's something I need. Thanks again.

Re: Photo Collection
It was rough. Probably was a gale out of the NW. There were other boats in the area, but the Thompson was the closest to us.Guest wrote:The Joe Thompson really looked like she was rock n and rollin was it a storm ?

Re: Photo Collection
Thanks garbear, it's really a joy seeing these boats with classic lines that aren't here anymore.
Re: Photo Collection
The photo of the Fitzgerald was taken as she was downbound on the St. Clair River.
