The James L. Oberstar Passes By

 I headed over to Marine City to catch  the next ship and it wasn't too long before she appeared.

The James L. Oberstar was coming down from Marquette.

She was heading to the steel mill on the Rouge River.

That meant she was loaded with taconite pellets.

I'm not sure if this is her last trip of the season but it is getting close.

Sometimes Interlake Ships will layup at the Nicholson Dock just off the Rouge River.

But I'm not certain that is the case.

It was starting to snow.

Her pilothouse.

Her stack.

A sort of stern shot as she continues down the river.
