Stopping in Huron, Ohio.

Since it was on the way, I decided to make a brief stop in Huron, Ohio.  The two ships that I saw there in layup are still there.

 First up was the Thomas R. Morrish, she was performing dredging operations in the river.

 The John J. Boland is still laid up here but she may be leaving soon.  I saw a sheet that said she would be leaving sometime in early April.  That would be a good thing, I think.

 Another angle of her.  I hope to catch her in action again soon.

The Adam E. Cornelius is going to remain laid up for a little longer though.  I'm not sure when she will be coming out again if at all.

After taking pictures of the boats, I ended up stopping at this little restaurant on US-6.  It was pretty good, I would consider it again if I come this way.

Part of the Day in Cleveland

I decided to head over to Cleveland yesterday.  I was hoping that I would catch a ship as she was heading into the Cuyahoga River.  I decided to take my normal route of late using Ohio Route 2 instead of the Turnpike.  I was going to stop at the Marblehead Lighthouse but when I did there were a ton of people there and I didn't really feel like battling with people to get pictures.

 So I headed to Wendy Park in hopes of getting that ship but as you can see, empty river.

 I did manage to catch a heron as it was flying over and a couple of trains but the trains are in a following post.

 A shot of the Coast Guard station, at least it was a nice day.

 From a slightly closer spot.  As I looked, the door was open and I was almost tempted to walk in but discretion got the better of me.

 Another shot of the Cleveland Skyline.   I will have to admit, the Midwest has some pretty cool skylines.

 I found another spot where I could get a different angle of the Coast Guard station.

 A shot of the pier light I normally get.

 And the other one.

 I ended up going to another spot as I was waiting for a boat that I thought was going to come out.  Kind of gave me a different angle of the city.

 I kind of like this bridge.  It is a swing bridge and it was built in 1901 by the King Bridge Company.  It seems unusual in that only part of it is over the water.

 I was wondering why there was a fence around it.  Now I know.

 Looking from around the bridge.

 I'm not sure what this building is but it looks like it may have been a depot or something at one time.

 Another view of the Bridge.

As I was waiting, I caught the Thomas Morrish which is owned by Ryba Marine.  I think she is doing some dredge work.
