Yesterday was quite the day! the Dorothy Anne/Pathfinder dropped stone at Marquette's Shiras dock in the lower harbor, then, while departing the dock, hit something that took a piece from the tug and allowed fuel to leak into the harbor. The USCoast Guard and the DEQ closed the harbor for a while. Divers spent a lot of time checking and searching for the missing piece(!!). The tug/barge remained in the harbor at anchor, but have moved this morning. They have a load waiting for them at the ore dock.
The Herbert C Jackson loaded ore while all this was going on, and the Robert S. Pierson arrived for a load, too. The Pierson had to tie up to the south side of the dock (which was loaded for the Pathfinder....companies take different types of ore) until the Jackson was finished, then moved to the north side for her load. Will see how many pics this blog will let me post... :o)
