Saginaw River Passages - May 11th

Monday was a very active day on the Saginaw River. Algoma Buffalo delivered her first cargo of the season, unloading salt at the Sargent Dock in Zilwaukee. The tug Undaunted and barge Pere Marquette 41 were next to arrive, bringing in a cargo for the Port Fisher/Bay Aggregates Dock in Bay City. A short distance behind them was the Olive L. Moore – Menominee, traveling all of the way upriver to unload at the Lafarge Stone Dock in Saginaw. 
Calumet, which arrived on Sunday, had finished unloading and was ready to depart Monday morning, but waited up in Saginaw for both Algoma Buffalo and Olive L. Moore to make the trip up the Saginaw River, before finally throwing lines from the Burroughs Dock in Zilwaukee, where she was waiting for the traffic to clear. By 8pm Monday, all four vessels were on their way outbound or had left earlier in the day.
