Saginaw River Passages May 12th & 13th

Split cargos were the rule of the day on Tuesday and Wednesday as three vessels called on the Saginaw River delivering to four differnet docks. The Calumet was inbound Tuesday morning lightering at the Sargent dock in Essexville before moving upriver to finish her unload at the Saginaw Rock Products dock in Saginaw. Following the Calumet, the tug Olive L. Moore, with the Lewis J. Kuber, arrived with product for the Bay City and Saginaw Wirt Stone Docks. The Manitowoc was inbound Wednesday morning, and like the Moore-Kuber, she also unloaded at the Bay City and Saginaw Wirt docks. Calumet was outbound Tuesday afternoon with the Moore & Kuber outbound Wednesday morning, and Manitowoc outbound Wednesday evening.

Following the boats of the Saginaw River and Great Lakes

Here is a little background on my history with the boats: I have been an avid photographer and follower of the big lake freighters that carry their cargoes between the ports of the Great Lakes. During that time, a number of my photos have been used by various shipping companies and in publications from the U.S. Coast Guard, Lake Carriers Association, the Marine Legal Review, and in the annual boatwatchers bible, "Know Your Ships". I also report news and vessel passage information from the Saginaw River to both Boatnerd.com and to the local newspaper, The Bay City Times, and have been fortunate enough to have had the honor of being aboard and taking a trip on a Great Lakes Freighter. I am also a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner, Captain and deckhand for the Bay City Boat Lines, and a Deckhand for Malcom Marine, Inc.

In this blog, you will see information on the vessels that ply the waters of the Saginaw River, photos, and vessel passage information. I hope that you will enjoy what is posted here.
