Olive L. Moore - Lewis J. Kuber were inbound the Saginaw River on Friday, calling on the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City. After their unload, they departed the slip and headed for the lake. Manitowoc was also inbound on Friday, calling on the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee. She was outbound early Saturday morning. Algoway was inbound Saturday morning also calling on the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee. She was expected to be outbound late Saturday night. The tug Kurt Luedtke was inbound on Saturday with a pair of barges for the upcoming dredging on the Lower Saginaw River dredging project.

Thanks for posting your photos. I grew up in Bay City. I miss the sounds of the river. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Following the boats of the Saginaw River and Great Lakes

Here is a little background on my history with the boats: I have been an avid photographer and follower of the big lake freighters that carry their cargoes between the ports of the Great Lakes. During that time, a number of my photos have been used by various shipping companies and in publications from the U.S. Coast Guard, Lake Carriers Association, the Marine Legal Review, and in the annual boatwatchers bible, "Know Your Ships". I also report news and vessel passage information from the Saginaw River to both Boatnerd.com and to the local newspaper, The Bay City Times, and have been fortunate enough to have had the honor of being aboard and taking a trip on a Great Lakes Freighter. I am also a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner, Captain and deckhand for the Bay City Boat Lines, and a Deckhand for Malcom Marine, Inc.

In this blog, you will see information on the vessels that ply the waters of the Saginaw River, photos, and vessel passage information. I hope that you will enjoy what is posted here.
