First, the numbers, as Kai Ryssdal would say on NPR’s Marketplace show. The numbers I’m referring to are the bids on Grouper yesterday. At 0600 yesterday, high bid was $150. That lasted until just after noon. By 1300, high bid was $420. More than 60 bids (out of a total of 104) were tendered in […]
Sarah Dann and 38
Excuse the duplication here, but since this was a long voyage, I’ll repeat some of the early shots and add new ones farther down the page. A Great Lakes mariner took this is Manitowoc on May 29. Jeremy Whitman got these as the tow left Manitowoc on May 30. Jake Van Reenen got this […]
Barges 4
Jeremy Whitman took this photo of the big blue Konecranes #38 crane. Tail boat is Candace Elise, prior to 2015 known as Stephen Dann, as here. OXBO is managing the transport. They departed Manitowoc a week or so ago and are now in a very wide portion of the Saint Lawrence, downstream from Gaspé Peninsula. […]
LCM through Hell Gate
I had a notice, so when the LCM came around the bend, I was waiting. This LCM I knew well from Jake Van Reenen operated it for barging in the Seaway areas of the 1000 Islands and Lake Ontario. The 1000 Islands is a very different environment than this, the East River headed into Hell […]
St. Louis on the St. Lawrence
Where was Doornekamp’s Sheri Lynn S heading? Downstream on the St. Lawrence to assist USS St. Louis, LCS-19, as she was making a port stop in Ogdensburg NY. Also assisting was Océan Serge Genois. If this USN press release is current and accurate, other LCSs expected to exit the Great Lakes this year include […]
Jay Bee V’s Epic Winds Down
I caught the beginning of Jay Bee V‘s epic here, a few days after the summer solstice. A bit later I caught her here at some different locations on the Erie Canal. So we are all fortunate that Jake Van Reenen caught her here at a lock in central NYS that I’m not disclosing. The voyage […]
Small Craft 19
Here are previous iterations of this title. Well, in fresh water like the Upper Saint Lawrence, they look like this, from a photo by Jake Van Reenen. In salt water, even small outboard work year round. There are boom boats, patrol boats, more boom boats, clam-digging boats, small island supply boats, fishing boats, police boats, […]
Tale of 2 or 3 Canal Tugs 1
DeWitt Clinton was built in the 1920s, delivered before the crash. She came out of a shipyard in East Boothbay, I’m told, but I can find no record of this. Here she was in Lockport in early October 2014. Here is a view from the wheelhouse, and another from a slightly different vantage point. […]
Seaway Maid and Fort Plain
Here’s an expanded view of a photo from yesterday’s post here. What you see in the distance is bridge inspection unit, 2018. The small tug is Seaway Maid, and it’s hard to believe I’m posting a photo of it today for only the first time. Last year this bridge inspection unit was moved through […]

I appreciate it when folks send in photos they’ve taken. Sharing photos is one of the joys of the Internet. Here from Ashley Hutto, Mister Jim pushing five barges, upbound through the Highlands. If you could swivel the camera to the right, you’d be looking at West Point. I love the reality-defying lens. The next […]
