Ahh, the crown jewel of the great lakes freight fleet in 2017, the Alpena, about to turn between Buoys 1 and 2. What's great about Sarnia is as the ships arrive, you'll have a chance to shoot both sides and often in great light as they turn quite a bit; and my 400mm lens got a good workout! I'm glad to have finally got a steamship on camera, in my years passed I don't think I managed to photograph one. A great looking ship, well maintained, as Neil Young would sing, long may she run.

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.

Two classic Lakeboats from the Lower Lakes fleet layover in Sarnia, Ontario on Winter Layup. Crews performing maintenance on these beauties hopefully mean many more seasons to come - but who's waiting? Get them while you still can.

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!

Some strong north winds on Lake Huron last week brought some serious waves crashing ashore. Here I caught the splash of the waves with the Hon. James L. Oberstar making the turn down bound at buoys 1 & 2.
