The Herbert C. Jackson Makes Two

The St. Clair was followed fairly closely by the Herbert C. Jackson.   She was probably about 15 minutes or so behind.

 Even though I have several pictures of her, Herbie is one that will bring me out of my shell most of the time.  She's a lovely looking vessel.

 One of these years, I'll try to catch her as she is going up the Rouge River.

 But getting a head shot of her is fine for me.

 I think she is one of the nicer looking vessels on the lakes though.  Given that a scrubber has been added to her, I think she has a few years left in her.

 She passes by the Blue Water Bridge.

 And gives me an almost beam shot.  I like how her pilothouse looks a little slicked back.

She continues on her way down to the Rouge River.  She will be delivering taconite from Marquette to the steel plant there.  This is a run she makes fairly often.
