Saginaw River Passage - July 20, 2025: John J. Boland

John J. Boland was inbound on Sunday evening, traveling up the Saginaw River and entering the slip at Port Fisher to unload for Bay Aggregates.  After finishing her unload, John J. Boland departed the slip and was outbound Monday morning.  Photos taken 7/20/25.  This was a tough shoot.  I needed her arrival to happen about 20 minutes earlier so I had a little more light.  It was difficult getting the shot I wanted, trying to let in enough light and not getting blur with the boat moving 6.5 knots...
