It wasn't too long before my next ship got closer.
The ship in question was the Whitefish Bay.
It's hard to believe that these ships are seven years old now. I remember when people were complaining about the Chinese ships being built by the Canadians.
Anyway, she is owned by Canada Steamship Lines and she is one of the newer ships on the lakes.
But as you can see, she looks pretty rough. The Canadian ships go through alot more locks than the American boats.
As a result, they look a little rougher than their American counterparts.
This particular ship is heading up to Superior, Wisconsin.
I suspect she will be picking up taconite.
And if she does, she will be carrying it to Nanticoke.
As you can see, it was a pretty nice day. I just wish there was a little more river traffic.
I love the color of the Detroit River.
It has a nice shade of blue to it. It almost looks like those pictures of the water you see in the Caribbean.
The beam shot.
And she passes by.
After this, is about two and half days for her to Superior.
