Saginaw River Winter - Part 4

Located on Bay City's Middlegrounds, off Evergreen Drive, we find the vessels and dock belonging to the Bay City Boat Lines. The Princess Wenonah and Islander are very busy during their season, running mid-May to mid-October. Both boats are available for charters and in July, they begin running morning free history cruises! More information on the Bay City Boat Lines can be found here: Bay City Boat Lines and here:http://baycityboatlines.com/BCBL/Welcome.html

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.
