Just read the book "The Bradley Boats" and it states that the John Munson towed the Irvin Clymer from Manitowoc to Calcite when she was being repowered. She also towed the B.H. Taylor when she was repowered and I was wondering if there's any photos out there of this being done.

TIA

I was a wiper on the Anderson in 06 for a few weeks at the end of the season and its pretty much whatever they tell you to do. Myself I painted, swept/mopped, ran the incinerator. I also did deckhand work.

I know they had her up for sale over the summer. They only had the Vista Star and Vista Queen running over the summer

Was wondering if anyone had a life ring from the MV Wolverine for sale.

All 3 were converted to selfunloaders one right after the other by Fraser Shipyards. Each were converted off of the same plans, so there shouldn't be any differences. Unless they've been altered since then.

I also think her engines were automated.

She also has hydraulic rams that vibrate the sides of the cargo holds, allowing her to haul cargoes like tailings.

Here's a shot of the Favorite being scrapped in Detour

Not to talk down to the guy who runs Duluth Shipping News but it's not always very accurate but I'm very grateful he does what he does.

Does anyone know who will be laying up in the Duluth-Superior area this winter? I know so far that the James R Barker is and the American Integrity is possibly.
