Barely Catching the Calumet

I wasn't sure if I would catch this ship in time but it wasn't the ship that I was most interested in catching.  There was a stoppage in traffic on the way up and that made it so that I almost didn't catch her.
 The Calumet was heading upbound from Detroit.  I think she was unloading stone on the Rouge River.
 She was heading to Manistee but I'm not sure if she was stopping somewhere or picking up a load there.
 At any rate, it was fairly cool to see her.  With her pilothouse and freeboard, she reminds me of a warship.
 A straight on shot of her pilot house.  I can't really get a beam shot here.
 She heads out in to Lake Huron.
One more shot.  I think it would be about a 24 hour journey for her to Manistee from here.
