Saginaw River Passages - May 5th

Algorail was outbound early Saturday morning after unloading overnight at the Sargent dock in Zilwaukee. The Olive L. Moore and Lewis J. Kuber were inbound around the same time, stopping at the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City to unload. They finished their unload and were outbound late Saturday morning. Inbound on Saturday was Algoway, making her first visit of the season to the Saginaw River. She stopped at the North Star dock in Essexville to unload, and was expected to be outbound early Sunday morning.

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.
