St. Clair River - April 11, 2026: Kaministiqua/Algoluna/Tug Welland

This is it, finally.... the last of the photos from my trip to the St. Clair River.  These photos feature the Kaministiqua passing Algoluna in Sarnia, before meeting the tug Welland who would assist her into the North Slip.  April 11, 2026










St. Clair River - April 11, 2026: North Slip/Sarnia

The photo quality is not a good for these, as I had to use the 3x & 7x zoom lenses on the drone to capture the photos, but here are some shots across the St. Clair River into Sarnia, the North Slip, and surrounding area. Featured are Saginaw, Robert S. Pierson, Algoma Innovator, Jiimaan, and the Huron Lightship.  Photos taken 4/11/26

St. Clair River - April 11, 2026: Kaministiqua

Continuing with the "St. Clair River Sunday" theme, I caught Kaministiqua at anchor near DTE/Recors Pt.  I had never photographed her before while she was sailing for Lower Lakes, so I was happy to catch her so early on with the new Algoma colors on her stack.  I was able to catch her again later in the day while underway.  I will post those photos later.  I generally dislike taking photos along the St. Clair River from the U.S. side in the morning.  It is tricky and the sun is generally not your friend, but I am pretty happy with these!  Photos taken 4/11/26
