Saginaw River Passage - September 10th

Tug Krista S. at the Consumers Energy Dock

The Agawa Canyon was inbound early Thursday morning with a cargo of Salt for the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee. She laid to at the Essroc Dock in Essexville to wait for the outbound Olive L. Moore & Lewis J. Kuber to clear, then resumed her trip upriver to Zilwaukee. The Canyon completed her unload and was outbound for the lake Thursday evening. Also outbound on Thursday were the Calumet River Fleeting tugs John M. Selvick and Krista S. along with two barges. They had been unloading equipment over the past few days for the Consumers Energy power plant in Essexville.

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.
