The image you are referring to in this thread was identified in the post as the Edmund Fitzgerald and was posted to the forum as it was taken from pretty much the same vantage point as the image of the Arthur B. Homer that appeared on the Today in Great Lakes History for July 19, 2023 that was originally misidentified as being taken from the Ambassador Bridge. The caption for the Homer has been changed to reflect the photograph having been actually taken from the Blue Water Bridge.

Interestingly, I have a photograph of the Edmund Fitzgerald in about the same spot as it was about to go under the Blue Water Bridge.

That Arthur B. Homer picture looks like it was taken from the Blue Water Bridge and not the Ambassador Bridge.
