On a rare trip in this area Edgar B Speer from the Great Lakes Fleet heads dounbound at Sarnia in lower Lake Huron entering the St. Clair river. The Speer is on it's way to unload at Conneaut, OH one of only two ports that can accept her unique unloading boom the other being Gary, IN. Her main run seems to be between Two Harbors, MN and Garry, IN carrying taconite pellets with the side trips to Conneaut, OH being sparse at best.

Algomarine sailing upbound in the St. Clair river at Sarnia, somewhat of a rare ship these days I can only hope to see it again before these classics are gone for good. Fleet mate and sister ship Algosteel remains laid up this season.

Cuyahoga sails downbound in lower Lakes Huron at Sarnia coming from the port of Goderich, Ontario earlier in the day likely with a load of salt from the Sifto mines there. Cuyahoga is one of three "maritime" class ships all built in 1943 sailing for Lower Lakes Towing although it is the last one with the "cruiser" stern type. One has to wonder how many more seasons they have under their belts with corrosive salt loads such as these..

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.

One of the most unique looking ships on the great lakes is the Roger Blough, at 858 feet overall and a beam of 105 feet it truly gives it a distinct look of a large modern ship with the classic looks of an old laker with the pilot house on the bow and aft cabins. The Roger Blough is seen here entering the St. Clair river at Sarnia on a rare trip in these parts.

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!.
