Saginaw River Passage - September 6, 2026: Olive L. Moore/Menominee

The familiar rumble of Olive L. Moore's engines was heard on the Saginaw River again today, as her and her self-unloading barge, Menominee, were back again, this time with a split load for the Port Fisher Terminals Dock in Bay City and the Burroughs North/GM Dock in Saginaw.  This was the pair's 16th visit of 2026 and the fifth since August 21st.  I have now photographed Olive L. Moore/Menominee 11 of those 16 visits, more than any other vessel, so if it seems like you see them here on my page a lot, you do... Photos taken 9/6/26
