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.

Princess Wenonah was out on a training cruise this afternoon, traveling all the way upriver to the Sixth Street Turning Basin in Saginaw. This is the first time I have ever photographed Princess Wenonah in the Sixth Street Basin, let alone actually seeing her that far upriver. Pretty cool to catch for sure! Photos taken 8/10/26
