Go West 11

Many thanks to Wade P. Streeter for his help in getting these first photos of M/V Hon. James L. Oberstar from public locations along the River Rouge.

Here she squeezes ever so slowly through the open Dix Street Bridge, showing her multiple builders plates and

flower boxes abaft her house.

Then she headed into the turning basin to offload her ore in the late afternoon.

Before mid-morning the following day, she was light and ready to race back to Superior for her next cargo.

She followed us for a bit before

overtaking us and showing her stern on her way into Lake St. Clair and places north.

More on the other vessels here later.
