The Sam Laud Passes Riverside Park

So I got a bonus ship today.

I didn't think she was that close behind the Jackson, so I wasn't sure I would catch her.
She was coming over from Burns Harbor.
I think that means she was carrying iron fines because she was heading for the St. Marys Cement Plant on the Rouge River.
Iron fines are used in the cement process and they are mixed with the other materials to make a stronger cemement.
I do know that it is a long loading process.
 The trip is roughly 48 hours.
She passes Windsor.
A relatively clean shot.
She starts to pass under the Ambassador Bridge.
I love this shot.
She is approached by the M.S. Westcott.
She continues past the Bridge.
She starts to work her way towards the Rouge River.
If I had more time, I would have tried to catch this one at the Jefferson Bridge.
And she passes under the Gordie Howe Bridge.  Looks like it is getting closer.
