Some of the ship tracking sites show her currently at the Johnstown/Prescott Grain Elevator with a status of "stopped", so she must have been freed overnight.
I find it strange that the earlier reports indicated the Seaway was in effect closed as no one was allowed to pass her while she was stuck (although apparently outside the main navigation channel).
Yet if you go to the Seaway notice pages at:
http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/new ... index.html
and
http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/new ... index.html
there's no mention of the incident or any closure/restrictions.
Is there some secret website the Seaway has to communicate "real" news/notices?
