The Algocanada Again....

So next up was the Algocanada which has also appeared on this blog in the past.  She's a tanker owned by the Algoma Central Company.  I think she passes by Detroit on a fairly regular basis.

 A shot as she was heading upriver.  I was still shooting into the sun but not quite as directly.  I do however kind of like the shaded ship against the bright background.

 Here she is getting closer.  I kind of like the huge no smoking sign on the superstructure.  As if the 1000's of gallons of fuel wasn't enough of a deterrent.

 Since she was a ship I've taken a picture of before and I remembered that fact, I decided to go for some closeup shots.  Here is her bow.  She sports the bow of an ocean goer.  Plus, I think she has somewhat of an icebreaking rating because of that.

 A shot of the superstructure.  Safety first.  She also donates to United Way, well I assume her crew does.

 Another shot of the bow.

 A closer shot of the superstructure.

 A closer shot of the bow.  You can see the Algoma Central logo.  That is one of my favorite logos.

 A shot of her smokestack.

 A shot of the bridge.

 The big orange thing is a lifeboat.

 One of her masts.

 So then I headed up to the end of the island to get shots of my next ship.  Fortunately, I can move a little faster than the ships, so I caught some more shots of her.

Getting a little more out into Lake St. Clair.

 A shot of three ships.

One last shot of her before she heads off to wherever she is going.
