Departure time meant we couldn’t watch Paul R. Tregurtha transit the passage on this brilliant day, but that’s life.
On our way out, Corsair passed one more time with a load of hay . . .
My references here are inadequate to say whether Mackinac Islander, laid up here, was built in the same yard as Corsair.
As we turn south, Poe Reef Light blinks a farewell
and we see sunset rays off to the north behind us, begging not to be forgotten.

In answer to your question, although the two ferries look like they’re off the same tree, their builders are different. MACKINAC ISLANDER was built in 1947 by Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding, while CORSAIR was built in 1955 by Blount Marine of Warren RI.
