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!

Barge Sarah Spencer down bound at Sarnia entering the st. clair river being pushed by tug Jane Ann IV. This set was common around the area at the time but was up for sale in 2005. I never saw it after this. It likely entered long term layup in the Rouge River at Detroit.

Late in the season sees the Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin downbound on the Detroit River at Windsor. The vessel is named for the father of a former Canadian Prime Minister.

She was built at the Collingwood Shipyards in 1973 and named the H.M. Griffith. In 2000, the ship was rebuilt at Port Weller using the stern section of the Griffith while a new bow and cargo section were added. She was renamed the Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin.
