The Federal Ruhr at Nicholson Dock

 After catching my planes, I decided to check Marine Traffic.  I knew the Alpena was coming down and I wanted to know if I could still catch her.  I was happy to find that it was possible, so I headed down to Detroit.

I stopped at Riverside Park and looked down at Nicholson Dock and saw that the Federal Ruhr was loading there.  I think she was loading steel coils.  She will be heading to Veletta, Malta after this.  It is starting to get towards the time of year when the salties leave and head for their overseas ports.  I think the Welland closes at the end of December.
