Saginaw River Passages - August 16th, 17th, & 18th

Friday saw the Manitowoc inbound on the Saginaw River, calling on the Burroughs North dock in Essexville to unload. She was outbound later in the day. The G.L. Ostrander - Integrity was inbound late Saturday night stopping at the Lafarge Cement dock in Essexville to unload. The pair were expected to be outbound late Sunday or early Monday morning. The tug Gregory J. Busch and her deck barge were inbound Sunday afternoon, calling on the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City.

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.
