Judging by the vessel in the foreground and the sign beyond, you’d surmise these fotos come from the Canada-Mexico border. If so, can
you locate this by the glass and steel in the background and the church in the middle? You probably know a song that refers to the church . . .
the Gordon Lightfoot song from 1975.
Totally unrelated, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum is well-worth a visit, even though I can’t say I’m thrilled by this part of the display.
Traffic I saw includes Manitoba and
Stephen B. Roman. (Yes, he be roamin’ a lot.)
Answer next time: The ore carrier near River Rouge in the distance is Arthur M. Anderson. Any idea of its claim to fame?

I will agree with John van der Doe. She was the last vessel to have radio contact with the EDMUND FITZGERALD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Arthur_M._Anderson

The George Washington statue in front of the Mariner’s Church is kind of unique in that there are few examples of him in surveyor’s gear.
