Saginaw River Passages - May 17th

The Harbour Fountain arrived at the Port Fisher Fertilizer dock, in Bay City, to unload early on Sunday. Arriving with her was the tug Kathy Lynn, to assist with turning in the Essexville Turning Basin at her departure. The Harbour Fountain is the first "saltie" if the season to call on the Saginaw River. The Buffalo was also inbound on Sunday, calling on the Bay Aggregates dock in Bay City to unload. Both vessels were expected to be outbound early Monday.

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.
