This Time For Real...The Arthur Anderson

So probably my second favorite ship on the Great Lakes is the Arthur M. Anderson.  I've been waiting for the opportunity to get a shot of her this season.  When I saw that she would be heading downriver at about the time I would be passing by Detroit, I couldn't pass up that opportunity.  Especially given that I almost had the opportunity to get her last time I was on Belle Isle.

 Here she is coming downriver as the Algocanada is going upriver.

 One of the reasons why I like the Arhtur Anderson is because she has the distinction of being the last ship to contact the Edmund Fitzgerald.  I believe she was also part of the rescue effort.

 Even though she was lengthened, she still has the lines of a class lake freighter.

 I'm not sure about her self-unloader but I guess that it will work because it means she will be in service from a while.

 Since this is the first time I've shot a picture of her in a while, I wanted the straight on shot.

 I think I like this one a little better.

 Just a shot of her superstructure.

As she heads further downriver.
