Myron C. Taylor

Here are a few shots of the Myron C. Taylor from back in the mid 1980's. They are not the best photos, but I found them interesting. The 1984 Camaro Z-28 in the one photo is my parent's car and the Taylor is passing the Consumers Power Dock in Essexville. The other photo shows the Taylor at the Front Range.

Shoot, I think I know where you took that first picture. There is a spot out there that is pretty nice. It is now a little more difficult to get to because of the marina kind of in the way though.

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.
