bigships.net - Earl Minnis Photo: Downbound on Lake Huron at Point Edward, the Maumee completes the turn at lights 1 and 2 as she prepares to enter the St. Clair River en route to Windsor. After 5 years of dependable service since her last survey, the Maumee laid up at Cleveland, OH in late 2010 with an uncertain future. The venerable lake boat’s owners retired the Maumee after having acquired and placed into service much newer, more modern vessels. After gradually stripping the old self-unloader of parts needed for their other vessels, the Maumee’s scrap tow departed Cleveland late on December 1, 2011 with ‘G’ tugs Illinois on her bow and Iowa controlling her stern. The tow crossed Lake Erie arriving at International Marine Salvage, Inc., Port Colborne, ON in the morning of December 3, 2011.
