Today’s post takes us from Port Colborne to Cleveland.
I’ll do another post about the MRC yard later. You can click here to see what these two looked like last year.
Algorail is nearly gone and work has already begun on Algoway.
At the Buffalo breakwater, Kathy Lynn was standing by with barge to receive concrete rubble, I think.
NACC Argonaut departs the Buffalo River for Bath, ON.
Manitoulin heads west.
Paul L. Luedtke tows scow #70. Is that Ashtabula in the background?
GL Cleveland assists barge Delaware out of the Cuyahoga…
until Calusa Coast clears the RR bridge and Cleveland returns to the barn.

Here are the previous 8 installments.
We’ll start just north of Belle Isle and move north for these. From l to r, it’s Kimberly Anne and Andrew J, both sailing for Dean Marine & Excavating.
Near Sarnia and in front of the refinery that creates its product, McAsphalt Transportation’s Everlast lies at the dock. Previous Everlast photos show her in locations as far east and downstream as Montreal. Here’s a bit of history on McAsphalt. Want more here on the history of usage of asphalt, bitumen, or as Noah the boat builder called it, tar and pitch? And want to get really nerdy “good news” about the evolution of asphalt road building and McLeod’s contribution published in Asphalt: The magazine of the Asphalt Institute , click here.
Venturing farther north and along the east side of Nebbish Island, it’s a fish tug. Anyone know the name?
Farther upstream and hauled out, this tug appears to have Soo as the first part of its name, but I can’t make it all out.
Over on the Canadian side in the city of Sault Ste Marie, these boats appear to be floating for the duration.
On the US side of the Soo, it’s Rochelle Kaye and Kathy Lynn, both of Ryba Marine from the lower peninsula.
Beside the Bushplane Museum, it’s the Purvis Marine yard, beginning with large Norwegisn-built tug Reliance.
On the other side of the building is a menagerie of other tugs, including Avenger IV and W. I. Scott Purvis.
Wilfred M. Cohen, with some inside and out built in the US, lies along the pier. Cohen previously appeared here.

Click here for previous photos that come here by way of barrel. The September 1944 tug Wilmington
is now Kathy Lynn.
Dredge Hoffman was built in 1942 and
retired in 1983 . . . I guess that means scrapped.
Clatsop was launched in 1908, then called
Sandpilot, and was scrapped in 1950, before I was born.
Delano Deland was 1919 built, but was transferred to
the USAT and I’ve found no further trace. Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks to barrel, who’s sent me more photos like this, and I’ll get around to posting them.
So let’s start with June 2014 at the north end of the Oswego Canal . . . that’s Kathy Lynn way in the distance to the left.
Port of Oswego also sees its share of international tugs . . . Wilf Seymour (ex-M. Moran) here with the multifunctional barge Alouette Spirit is Canadian.
That diagonally mounted grate on the bow of the barge is a ramp to allow RORO use.
Wm. Donnelly is . . .
a D. A. Collins tug, and . . .
also working on the Amsterdam dam (!) is an Arundel Marine tug called Sarah Leanne.
Collamore . . . I can find nothing about.
Here northbound on the Hudson while I was behind a dirty window . . . that may be HR Bass (scroll through) passing Peebles Island.
And for the last photo today, enjoy another of Margot, here housedown as she leaves Lock 19 eastbound.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who’s thrilled to be back where his upstate roots are.
No . . . it’s not a disease or a euphemism for profanity. It’s many places, one of which is marked by this lighthouse in Oswego. All these photos were taken since Tuesday in Oswego, a place I previously wrote about here last year after watching a drill that involved swimming from and to a helicopter.
See the light to the right here along the horizon, a light younger than Urger.
Last year’s drills involving drones have already made their way into kids’ murals!
The mouth is the port of entry for Metalcraft Marine vessels making their way into various US ports.
Some vessels I was free to watch enter the port, but others
went by and I couldn’t follow until later, when they were really
behind and beyond
reach. The tug here is Everlast. If you were at the canal mouth this morning–or any other time–and caught a close-up, side view of Everlast pinned or–even better–light, kindly send along some photos.
All photos this week by Will Van Dorp, whose access to wifi is still a challenge.
