The Saginaw River has seen a number of passages the past week. On Wednesday, the tug Zeus and her tank barge departed the Dow Chemical dock in Bay City after unloading and was outbound for the lake. The pair passed the inbound Manitowoc, who was headed upriver to unload at the GM dock in Saginaw. To start off October, the Calumet was inbound with a split load for the Bay City and Saginaw Wirt Stone Docks on Friday. Late Saturday saw the Agawa Canyon inbound for the Buena Vista dock in Saginaw. She stopped briefly at the Essroc dock in Essexville on her way in to wait for water levels to come back up. The Olive L. Moore/Lewis J. Kuber were inbound on Monday with a split load. The pair lightered at the Bay Aggregates dock before heading upriver to finish at the Buena Vista dock. The Moore and Kuber were outbound Monday night.
On an interesting note, the crew of the Manitowoc witnessed a man jump from the I-75/Zilwaukee Bridge in Saginaw. After getting closer, they reported to U.S.C.G. Station Saginaw River the man had swam to shore and was lying on the ground.
