Saginaw River - August 2nd

Built in 1919, the 102 year old tug Gregory J. Busch rests on the Saginaw River, alongside the tug Barbara Merry Busch at the Busch Marine Inc. dock in Carrollton. The Barbara Merry Busch, having seen better days, was built right here on the Saginaw River at the Defoe Shipyard in 1938. Both have had various names and owners over the years. The Gregory J. Busch did not work in 2020 and again so far in 2021.

Saginaw River Passage - August 1st

Paul R. Tregurtha, inbound from the Saginaw Bay, calling on the Consumers Energy Dock in Essexville to unload coal this morning. This is the Tregurtha's third visit of the season to the Saginaw River.

Very tough lighting conditions for photos (at least for me) this morning with the angle of the sun and the haze. I wasn't comfortable enough with the high wind conditions to fly the drone around to the opposite side of the PRT to shoot with the sun behind the camera.
