And the Presque Isle

Next up is the Presque Isle.  If I would have stopped to get pictures of the Pineglen and got up sooner to take pictures of the Barker, I would have taken pictures of 8 ships yesterday.  But six ships isn't bad for a day's work.
 The Presque Isle is the only intergrated tug barge that I like.  For the most part, she looks like a proper ship.  Especially if the only pictures you see from her are from this angle.
 Besides, I have to like that bow, since it was built in Bay City.
 A closeup of that bow.  The Presque Isle is another 1000 footer.
 Another three quarters shot.
 Another shot of her bow.
 She is actually a pretty sleek looking ship.
 A shot of her boom and pilothouse.
 Just her pilothouse.  Now you can see that  she's actually a tug/barge.
 She works her way up the St. Clair.
And one more shot of her.
