Saginaw River Passages - June 24th - June 28th

Well, to get everyone back up to date after my vacation:

Tuesday, June 24, saw the arrival of the Larsholmen, calling on the Port Fisher Fertilizer dock in Bay City. She was assisted by the tug Manitou, who had arrived on the 23rd and was standing by.

Wednesday, June 25 saw the arrival of two vessels. Alpena called on the Lafarge Cement dock in Essexville and Algoway to the North Star dock in Essexville. This was the first visit by each vessel to the Saginaw River this season.

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.
