Late evening light sees the American Century upbound for Lake Huron at lights 1 and 2. It's hard to believe these behemoths are 30 plus years old. Downbound in the distance is the Catherine Desgagnés.

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.

Under storm clouds Inland Lakes Management's "Alpena" passes by Sarnia downbound and loaded in the St. Clair river. The Alpena makes a few trips a year through here and it a rare sight in these parts, her short length, cargo's of cement and steam power drive make it a unique catch. This is the only ship still sailing for Inland Lakes Management, the rest have been in layup as cement storage barges.

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 1963 at Canadian Vickers in Montreal for the Upper Lakes fleet as the Quebecois, the Algoma Quebecois, under the Algoma Central flag, sails downbound on the Detroit River for Quebec City. She was recently sent to the scrapper in Port Colborne. Another classic bites the dust.
