Saginaw River Passage - September 15, 2026: Saginaw

Saginaw outbound on the Saginaw River, passing through Bay City and the Liberty Bridge/Huron & Eastern Railway Bridge on her way to the lake. I took these photos on September 15th, the day before I took a trip to Cleveland for three days, so I never got a chance to post them, until today. Saginaw had unloaded at the Wirt Stone Dock in Saginaw overnight on her first of three consecutive visits to the Saginaw River.

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.
