Saginaw River Passages - September 17th to 20th

The John J. Boland called on the Bay Aggregates Dock in Bay City on the 17th, unloading there during the day.  The Boland departed the slip there and was back outbound for the lake a short time later.
On the 20th, Dorothy Ann-Pathfinder were inbound on the Saginaw River, carrying a split cargo.  The pair dropped a partial cargo at the Wirt Stone Dock in Bay City, then traveled upriver to finish unloading at the Wirt Stone Dock in Saginaw.  Also inbound later in the morning was the Walter J. McCarthy, Jr., calling on the Consumers Energy dock in Essexville.  Both vessels are expected to be outbound Tuesday afternoon.
