Saginaw River Passages - November 29th

The Olive L. Moore - Lewis J. Kuber arrived on the Saginaw River early Friday morning, carrying a split cargo for the Bay City and Saginaw Wirt Stone docks. The pair were upbound in the ice that has formed on the Saginaw River, headed for Saginaw Wirt, around 9am Friday. The H. Lee White was inbound early in the afternoon Friday, bound for the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City. Both the Moore-Kuber and H. Lee White were outbound Friday evening. The Sloman Hermes, with assistance from the tug Gregory J. Busch, entered the Saginaw River and called on the Port Fisher Fertilizer Dock in Bay City. This is only the second delivery to this dock by water. The Hermes was expected to be outbound sometime on Saturday.

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.
