Let’s start with Poverty Island . . . and the light considered the US most endangered lighthouse.
Candace Elise used to operate as Stephen Dann.
Manitowoc makes its way west into Lake Michigan.
Buckthorn backs out of Mackinac Island and heads for Lake Superior.
In a short time, two footers passed by: American Integrity headed west.
Corsair brought in the hay and flowers . . for horses and bees maybe.
Burns Harbor made its way back up to Superior. Burns and Integrity are two of the 13 “footers” working on the upper Lakes.
John D. Leitch has an unmistakeable profile.
Two more “footers” awaited us before we got to Sugar Island.
That’s Sugar Islander II in between the two boats, and that’s where we’ll start next post.
I love the hanging benches and bicycle on the balconies of American Century.
All photos and any errors, WVD.
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 in Clayton NY. Note that the tail boat above, Candace Elise, has been switched out. Now below it’s Molly M I.
René Beauchamp got this in the South Shore Canal, near Montreal.
A week later almost, Jack Ronalds got the next three shots at the Strait of Canso and its lock, separating Cape Breton from the mainland of Nova Scotia.
Many more of Jack’s photos can be seen here.
The tail boat here is Svitzer Montreal.
And finally, posted yesterday on St. Lawrence Seaway Ship Watchers FB by Stephen Graves, who stated the photo was not his, the tow arrives in Kittery ME, home of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Bravo to all the crews and pilots and photographers!
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. Manitowoc, among other things, is the western terminus of SS Badger.
Jake Van Reenen took this photo as they passed Clayton. Molly M I has replaced Candace Elise. The barge supporting the barge is Cashman Equipment Corp.’s JMC 253, with dimensions of 250′ x72′ x16′ deck barge.
René Beauchamp got this shot –and more on FB Seaway News-Voie maritime Infos–of the tow. His vantage point over the South Shore Canal portion of the Saint Lawrewnce Seaway was the Cartier Bridge. ETA for the tow at the mouth of the Piscataqua and Kittery ME is June 17. I look forward to photos from there.
Harry McNeal moved deck barge 1962 with crane away from the IMTT docks the other day,
Face on, the crane appeared to be straight up.
Allan Seymour caught this Denali with tank barge DBL 104 upbound on Penobscot Bay yesterday. If I have the right number, DBL 104 has a capacity is just over 105,000 barrels.
I spotted Paul Andrew with the recycling scow DS 171 heading for the Arthur Kill.
The destination for this is PS&S/Visy Paper.
Erich A. caught Emery Zidell up the Hudson in the notch of 83,000 bbl tank barge Dr. Robert J. Beall.
James Turecamo meets the Centerline unit up in the scenic Hudson River below Albany.
And I saw Eastern Dawn aka Toula pushing two
mini-barges.
The minis, one at a time, carry dredge spoils from the depths of Gowanus Canal. Prior to this project, I’d never seen mini barges, or scows.
All photos, as credited: Jeremy, Jake, René , Erich, and WVD.
Unrelated, the highest bid for tug Grouper as of this morning is $26.00.
