Ghost ships on the St. Clair River

Morning came with a thick blanket of fog and the sound of fog horns on the river. It burned off by noon, and I got some good shots of the ships in both settings.

The first ship was the Edwin H. Gott, moving down-river to Conneaut. You can't see anything? Neither could I! Only the humming engines let me know when they were passing by.

A little later, the American Mariner's throaty fog horn stated her presence as she came up river, with a destination of Green Bay.

Tug Escorte and work barge Ocean Basque 2 were moored on the Canadian side of the river. I had to guess at the name of the barge, since part of its name is covered by the tire.

Lee A. Tregurtha with two listed destinations, depending on whether you follow Boatnerd or Marine Traffic AIS. Watch and see...Marquette or Duluth? She's not on the Duluth Shipping News Schedule.
