Saginaw River Passages - May 12th

The tug Olive L. Moore and her barge, Lewis J. Kuber, arrived on the Saginaw River early Thursday morning. The pair traveled up to the Burroughs dock in Zilwaukee to unload. Mississagi was inbound Thursday afternoon, calling on the Lafarge Stone Dock in Saginaw. Mississagi briefly stopped at the Burroughs dock to let the outbound Moore - Kuber pass, then she continued on to Lafarge once clear. Mississagi was expected to be outbound early Friday morning.

I love the looks of the Mississagi. That is a pretty nice picture too.

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.
