Saginaw River Passages - June 17th through 25th

I have just returned from a trip with the family to Walt Disney World in Florida. Here is what took place on the Saginaw river while I was gone:

The H. Lee White called on the Wirt Stone dock in Bay City on June 19th to unload. There were two vessels calling on Saginaw River docks on June 22nd. The American Integrity called on the Consumers Energy dock in Essexville, while the tug Samuel de Champlain and cement barge Innovation, called on the Lafarge Cement dock in Essexville.

That was all for the week. Here is a passenger ferry photo I took at the Magic Kingdom while I was there.

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.
