Kaye E Barker, Michipicoten, Saginaw, Robert S Pierson





Okay, finally back to Marquette for ship pics.  The Kaye E Barker was in when we got back from the Soo.  A few days later fleetmates Michipicoten, Saginaw, and Robert S. Pierson all arrived for ore, taking turns at the dock.

Joseph Block, Sam Laud, American Courage, American Victory, St. Claire






Okay, back to the Soo.  The Joe Block and Sam Laud in the Locks, taken from the International Bridge, the American Courage, the American Victory and her battle ribbons (from her service in World War II), and the St. Claire arriving in the rain.

ELRyerson, Gott, Missouri, Quebecois, J L Block






Okay, continuing my posting of ships from the Soo...  Caught the lovely Edward L Ryerson entering the Mac Lock, then at Mission Point.  Also saw the lovely! tug Missouri assisting the Edwin Gott, the Quebecois arriving at night, and the Ryerson and Joseph Block passing and saluting.

HLWhite, Kaministiqua, Tadoussac, Roger blough, and Kwintebank






Okay, trying again.  Blog went to gibberish the last time and gave me an error message.  Adding the H Lee White, Kaministiqua, Tadoussac, Roger Blough, and Kwintebank.  Notice the Taddy's unusual stern, not many ships with that shape, I think.  Also the hole on the Roger Blough is where her unloader arm comes out.

More Soo Pics






Still enjoying fall weather and beautiful colors!  Attaching more pics from the Soo.  Took over a hundred, can't help myself!
Here is the Ziemia Cieszynska (don't ask me how to pronounce that!), the Algosar, American Fortitude, American Spirit, and Canadian Enterprise.  More coming next time!

Ships! and more





Well, we were at the Soo, (celebrating our 43rd anniversary a month early) enjoying a lot of ships in spite of sometime rainy weather....and I forgot my password so couldn't log in to share the pics.  I think I'll have to just share a few at a time here.  Waves were crashing against the breakwall in Marquette harbor yesterday, too, and made a movie clip which I'll post later.
