Samuel de Champlain/Innovation on the Saginaw River, arriving at the Holcim Cement dock in Essexville at sunrise this morning to unload. Even though the upper river docks are done receiving product for the season due to Independence and Lafayette Bridges being "closed to masted navigation" until March 31, 2025, the lower river docks are still receiving product.
Northern Venture was on the Saginaw River, traveling up to the Burroughs North - GM Dock in Saginaw to unload. She was turned and outbound for the lake Friday afternoon, passing by Downtown Bay City when these photos were taken.
Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder back on the Saginaw River for the third time in the past seven days. This time, dropping the entire cargo at the Wirt Stone Dock in Bay City. Pretty uninspired photos on another grey day with little sunshine....
Olive L. Moore/Menominee were on the Saginaw River Thanksgiving Day, delivering a split cargo to the Bay Aggregates Dock in Bay City and the ACE/Saginaw Asphalt - Crow Island Dock in Saginaw. I captured the pair at Lafayette Bridge in Bay City as they were headed upbound for Saginaw.
Candace Elise visited the Saginaw River on Thanksgiving Day, pushing two empty deck barges, D2002 & D2006, to the Port Fisher Terminals dock in Bay City.
For this last set of photos, I left the drone in the case and just used the trusty Canon DSLR. A few shots near the Essexville Range Lights and the bulk of the shots at Cass Avenue.
