The Ken Boothe Sr./Lakes Contender Passes Milliken State Park

I had yesterday off.  I had originally planned to go over to the Welland Canal this weekend but other things cropped up and put the kibosh on those plans.  I looked at AIS and saw that the river wasn't particularly busy but it was busy enough, so I headed down to Detroit.

 So first up was the tug/barge combination Ken Boothe Sr./Lakes Contender.  She's been on this blog a few times before but not before this year.

 This is rapidly becoming my favorite tug/barge.

 The tug is called the Ken Boothe Sr.  I believe both the tug and the barge were built in Erie, PA.

 The pair passes under the eye of Sauron.

 Another shot of the tug.

 Kind of a shot of her pilothouse.

 And she passes by.

And the Ambassador Bridge.
