I'm sure glad someone else noticed that, Gar. I caught it on AIS and thought.. hmm, that's a new one! Hopefully, someone shares a little inside information on this destination and whether it's a one of a kind
for ASC or part of a series.

They did a whole bunch of those runs last year, as well. Hopefully more of those trips will be forthcoming.

Just checked the AIS destination on the American Mariner and it's saying "Quebec".

The H. Lee White is due here in the Twin Ports sometime today to discharge limestone at Graymont, then load coal for Graymont. Then she's scheduled to load pellets at Northshore Mining. No ETA because very strong East winds on this end of the Lake. Earlier this morning she was SW of Silver Bay, now NE of Silver Bay, but now looks like she's heading toward the Twin Ports.

Here you can see the various docks that the American Mariner stopped at Wednesday.

If I counted correctly they only took on one load of coal. They are now loading at BNSF #5 on a rainy,windy late afternoon here in the Twin Ports.

Wow! That would have to be close to a record for a 24 hour period!! To unload, load, unload, load and unload half the last load in that time is pretty amazing. Let us know if they pull it off!
