Saginaw River Passages - May 14th

The Olive L. Moore - Lewis J. Kuber called on the Saginaw River on Tuesday, stopping at the Wirt Stone Dock in Bay City. The pair remained there Wednesday night with the boom in the cradle and no unloading going on. American Integrity called on the Consumers Energy Dock in Essexville on Wednesday, unloading coal. She backed from the dock during the evening and turned around at Light 12 before heading outbound for the lake.

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.
