Saginaw River Passages - June 27th


Mississagi was inbound Sunday afternoon, headed all the way up to Sixth Street in Saginaw with a cargo for the Lafarge Stone dock. She had to stop briefly at the Wirt Stone dock in Bay City to wait for the Saginaw River to open to vessel traffic between Liberty and Veteran's Memorial bridges. This was due to the Bay City River Roar powerboat races that have been going on all weekend. Mississagi made the dock late Sunday afternoon and was expected outbound late evening. Walter J. McCarthy, Jr. called on the Consumers Energy dock in Essexville during the afternoon. She completed her unload and was backing out into the Saginaw Bay to turn and head for the lake Sunday evening.
