So I decided to go shipwatching yesterday. According to boatnerd there were two ships coming down the Detroit River. I didn't pictures of either of them, so I decided to go down. I decided to do my shipwatching at the Riverside Park because I kind of like that spot a little better than Belle Isle (for shipwatching...otherwise it's not a nice park). Anyways, I got a bonus ship.

Coming upbound was the Orsula. I don't have many details about her.

She is a general cargo ship that was originally constructed as the Federal Calumet in 1996.

Her name was changed to the Orsula in 1998.

It was kind of cool because I got a bonus yesterday of seeing the mail boat. I didn't expect to see the mail boat since it was a Sunday. More about that in one of my next posts.
