Many Of These Lakers Have Come Up The Hudson River To Unload Clinkers (Mixed With Cement) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinker_(cement) At Cementon (Just North Of Saugerties). Some That I Have Seen Up Here Or Remember In The Past Are: SAUNIERE http://www.flickr.com/photos/naturepainter/2146466267/, ATLANTIC SUPERIOR http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/atlanticsuper.htm, ATLANTIC HURON http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/atlantichuron.htm, ATLANTIC ERIE http://carlzboats.blogspot.com/2012/07/csl-atlantic-erie.html, HON. PAUL J. MARTIN http://duluthshippingnews.com/ship0277/, & Several Algo Transport, Ltd. Ships.

It Is Also Interesting To Note That MELVIN H. BAKER II, Was Formerly ATLANTIC HURON. She Also Was Seen By Me In The Early 1990′s In The River. ATLANTIC ERIE Was Renamed MELVIN H. BAKER III. They Replaced MELVIN H. BAKER Built In 1956, http://shipfax.blogspot.com/2009/12/oldie-from-shoeboxmelvin-hbaker.html Which I Saw On The Hudson River From My Youth Until She Was Finally Retired.
