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?
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, still on the road.

Her captain was the last one who talked to the wheelhouse crew on the “Edmund Fitzgerald” on that fatel November night.

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.

Why were you not thrilled with the 40′ Coast Guard boat ?
