Saginaw River Passages - June 9th

Sam Laud was inbound Sunday morning, backing into the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City. The Laud was outbound for the lake during the late afternoon. The tug Samuel de Champlain and cement barge Innovation were inbound Sunday evening, calling on the Lafarge Cement dock in Essexville. The pair were expected to be outbound on Monday.

Thanks, I should have taken a little time to center it and even it out....

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.
