Under threatening skies the Saginaw from the Lower Lakes Towing fleet makes an early morning appearance at Sarnia entering the St. Clair river . The Lower Lakes fleet is perhaps one of the most unique on the lakes, operating a variety of classic second hand vessels the big fleets disposed of years ago, may they continue to run for years to come.

Canadian Transfer of the then Upper Lakes Shipping company sails up bound under the bluewater bridge at Sarnia. With the sale of the Upper Lakes fleet to Algoma shots like this are no longer possible. Today the "transfer" sails as Algoma Transfer.

A first, I crossed the border for a ship.. and I'm glad I did. As soon as I took this shot, Saginaw turned as they were to unload stone at the old CN Rail Ferry Dock,now used by an Aggregates company. Looks like this house keeps handy a pair of binoculars, seen in the window. Ship watchers maybe? On July 2 2017 I managed to shoot about 4 classic Lakeboats - this was an incredibly productive weekend for such and I happened to be in town all weekend visiting Family as usual. More to come!

Built in 1952, this fine looking Interlake Steamship Company specimen is downbound on the St. Clair River passing the homes , which to be frank, only have a view of Chemical plants on the other side in Sarnia. At least the blossoms are out making for a pretty scene.

Lower Lakes Towing "Manitoba" makes the sharp turn into the government docks at Sarnia where is will tie up. In the background is Algoma central's "Algorail" also laid up. On this very day back in 2005 I shot the Manitoba tied up in this exact location however it was then known as the Teakglen arriving from Goderich as a grain storage barge with a bleak future, times have been good to this old classic!.

Algosteel has just entered the Burlington Bay - with a cargo of Iron Ore from the Labrador iron ore fields likely destined for Arcelor Mittal Dofasco (since US steel was not operating a blast furnace at the time of this photo). The ship is turning to dock at the Steel Mills of Hamilton (Dofasco) shown in the background.

$Foreign vessel \"EVY L\" approaching the CN railroad bridge and the Twin Flight Locks on the Welland Ship Canal. Date is October 14, 1981 and I have just photographed the morning Amtrak #97 and thought this approaching ship would make a nice image. I am not a boat-nerd so need help with descriptions. I could not bring up EVY L on the internet.$
