Here is a photo I took of the Richard Reiss outbound on the Saginaw River, sporting the LLT stack colors shortly after being purchased by LLT.

Ice on the Saginaw River

After the last freeze & thaw cycle, the ice on the Saginaw River broke up, then piled up and refroze in some interesting piles.  There is a lot of debris mixed in as well.

This is one of only three photos I have of the tanker Saturn.  I took this photo in 2000 while she still sailed under the Cleveland Tankers flag.  She is seen here outbound at the Dow Chemical dock, just after turning off the Total Petroleum dock where the fleetmate, Jupiter, burned.

This photo shows the Joesph H. Frantz outbound on the Saginaw River, after unloading at the Wirt Stone Dock in Bay City.  I took this photo on June 17, 2000 with my trusty old 35mm Minolta camera

Myron C. Taylor inbound on the Saginaw River, sometime during the mid 1980's

I know, how can it be the photo of the day when there is not a photo for the past week.  

I guess I am a slacker like that.

This photo of the Myron C. Taylor was taken sometime around the mid to late '80's at 

the mouth of the Saginaw River.
