Saginaw River Passage - August 10, 2026: Olive L. Moore/Menominee

Olive L. Moore/Menominee were inbound on the Saginaw River, calling on the Burroughs North - Essexville Dock, unloading a partial load there Monday night.  A short time later, the pair traveled upriver to finish unloading at the ACE/Saginaw Paving - Crow Island Dock.  Once finished, Olive L. Moore/Menominee went up to the Sixth Street Turning Basin, turned and then waited at the Burroughs North - 1st Street Dock in Saginaw, possibly due to the heavy fog in the area this morning, eventually departing and heading outbound for the lake Tuesday morning.  Photos 8/10/26.
