Thank you! It is a lot of work for sure, but it is definitely something I enjoy doing.

Thank you for the information!

Early Saturday morning, Calumet River Fleeting tug, Nathan S., was inbound on the Saginaw River, traveling up to Saginaw. The tug was then back outbound a short time later. Unfortunately, I was was not able to get to the river to see if she brought a barge or any equipment in, or picked up and left ...

I don't believe so Brian, but I am not 100% sure. The Defoe Shipyard is just below the Liberty Bridge on the East Side. The Davidson Shipyard was across the river from the old Bay Agg site, downtown, and I believe Wheeler's was located where the Wheeler's Landing marina is now located, across the ri...

I was just wondering if anyone has any photos of the Princess Wenonah in the drydock at Nicholson's in Detroit for her 5-year.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Dan. I appreciate the info!

Does anyone know why Lafarge's G.L. Ostrander/Integrity is at Essroc's dock in Essexville?

I am at work today and can't get down there to check it out.

Thanks in advance

The last cargo of clinker to Essroc in Essexville by the CSL Tadoussac was on June 10, 2010.

The last by the Frontenac was August 26, 2009

Roger, This is the old West Shore. Bay City Boat Lines sold her to Star Line earlier this spring. She will be in freight service to Mackinaw Island when finished. Hated to see her leave Bay City, as I was really looking forward to her being put into service and being able to work on her. She is a gr...

The Gregory J Busch was downbound on Lake Huron last night, headed for the Saginaw River. The Busch must have come in early this morning and made her dock because the AIS is already off. I will track her down when I get a chance and take a few photos.

Just for those of you who may be interested in going out on the passenger vessel Princess Wenonah to great the arrival of the USS Edson out in the Saginaw Bay and follow her in to the dock, Bay City Boat Lines is offering a cruise for this: Tickets for the Princess Wenonah cruise to greet the USS Ed...

Roger,

I know earlier in the season, the Busch Marine markings on the stack were almost worn off and barely visible. Maybe they are all the way gone now?

I haven't heard anything around here.

In 2011, American Century had 6 trips to Essexville, Indiana Harbor had 4.

2010: Indiana Harbor-9, Walter J. McCarthy-7, American Mariner-1

2009: American Century-7, Walter J. McCarthy-4, Indiana Harbor-4, American Integrity-1

Hope this helps!

Nope, She did not spend the winter on the Saginaw River.

Hi Everyone,

I have been surfing the USCG Website for hours and I am still not sure what the total cost of a MMD Original application for an entry level Ordinary Seaman is.

Best I can tell it is $45? Can anyone help me out with better info?

Thanks in advance!

The pair definitely loaded in Zilwaukee. I have a photo of them outbound with the load posted at:

I would have to guess she was sold to Luedtke Engineering. There was a Luedtke truck backed up to her on the 8th when I took the recent photos and a number of people working on her.

For those of you who have a 100 ton license or have went throught the process, what is the best way to go about obtaining this certification? Does anyone have any helpful hints? Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated!

When and where did you see the H.C. Jackson inbound on the Saginaw River today?
