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.
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.

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!

I am fairly certain that's the Joseph S. Young.

Any guess about the name of the self unloader tied up in front of the Falk? Mike
Hi Mike, I've been trying to figure that one out too. We were upbound in the River and I didn't have my binoculars with me at the time. Maybe someone can figure it out.

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.

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.

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.
