The Edwin H. Gott in the Soo Locks

The next ship was waiting for the American Century to clear, so I knew I wasn't going to see her at Mission Point.
 The Edwin H. Gott is one of thirteen thousand footers that ply the Great Lakes.    She can carry 2.1 million cubic feet of cargo up to 74,000 tons of cargo.  A taconite pellet is about the same size as a skittle and her capacity means she can carry roughly 28 million skittles.  That's alot of rainbow.
 I think she was on her way to Gary and I think she was carrying taconite.
So it was cool seeing her waiting for the Lock at least.
