The American Century at Mistersky Fuel Docks

 I thought I would have a fuller day of boatwatching today but I got kind of a late start.  There was construction all over the place.  It looks like they are doing something along the shoreline of Belle Isle, so they had it blocked off with some kind of fencing.  Since it was a nice day, I found it hard to get a parking spot.  So I decided to head over to Riverside to catch the ship I was going to end up catching.

While I was at Riverside, I saw that the American Century was fueling at Mistersky.  She had just delivered coal to Monroe and was heading back up to Superior.

The docks are part of the property next to the Mistersky Power Plant.  The plant itself was built in 1927 and originally generated 60,000 kilowatts of power.  Over the year that was tripled.  It was closed down in 2010 when it was determined that it was cheaper to get power from Detroit Edison.  I'm not sure what they are going to do with the plant itself but the docks remain viable.
