What about the Manitoba, is she slated to sail also or become a Sarnia Museum for the summer.

As of this time (3:30AM EST) She is abreast of Harrisville. AIS shows her destination as Thunder Bay

At 4pm, Tecumseh is in the middle of Lake St. Clair, upbound. Should be at Port Huron/Sarnia 8 to 9pm tonite.

She's upbound at Belle Isle at 14:30.

Yes, the Tecumseh is back out for the season.

As of noon hour today, the Tecumseh is no longer at Morterm. Looks like she's upriver, possibly fueling. Maybe she's back out!

This subject has been discussed before. Tecumseh is already in layup status in Windsor, while the Manitoba is also in Sarnia for layup as well. Both are in due to a decline in the grain trade and also a "seasonal layup period." At this point I don't recall exactly how long each will be in layup for but, it will be a while at least.

Does anyone know why the Manitoba is Lay-up in Sarnia North Slip ? (Repair or just no work for her ? )

Is the Tecumseh is also supposed to be laying-up shortly ?

Manitoba seems to be going into the north slip in Sarnia as of midnite Sunday. Lay-up?

Manitoba is upbound on St. Clair River at 8:30pm ET Sunday evening.

Tecumseh is sitting at the Morterm Terminal in Windsor.

Manitoba did not layup in Sorel, she is underway upbound at this time.

Manitoba was due in Sorel on May 29

Where did both of these vessels lay-up at? The last I know the Tecumseh I think was in Windsor with a load for ADM possibly and the Manitoba I lost track of her? If anyone can please update to their whereabouts, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Yes they did, Tecumseh until about mid-june, Manitoba into August.

Does anyone know if the Manitoba and Tecumseh went in to layup recently due to lack of grain at Thunder Bay? Thanks
