St. Clair River - June 28, 2026: BBC Singapore

In the "Sometimes, things just work out perfectly" file, on the morning I got up early to shoot the sunrise at the Blue Water Bridge, a short time later I was treated to BBC Singapore coming off Lake Huron, headed to the North Slip in Sarnia for some work.  A new "Laker Max" class vessel for BBC Chartering, built in in 2025, this was a new one for me and a great catch, providing some of my favorite photos from the week I spent in the area.  The tug, Welland, would come out to assist her and before she made the turn into the slip, I would also be treated to the upbound Sameul de Champlain and Algoma Bear.  Photos taken 6/28/26
