After the lighthouse, I wandered over to Sault Sainte Marie because that is where I would be staying for the night. I'd been watching AIS all day and I knew that I had a pretty good chance to catch the Paul R. Tregurtha there but I wasn't sure if it would be while she was in the Locks or elsewhere.
As it turns out, I was able to catch her just as she was entering the Locks. It's still amazing to see a ship that big and something else that can deal with a ship that big.
As I was watching the Tregurtha enter the locks, I noticed a rainbow out in the distance. I was hoping that it would still be there while the Tregurtha was in the locks.
It faded too quickly for that.

And her bow.
Since I couldn't fit her in one shot, I decided to try my hand at a panoramic shot. I think this is one of the better ones that I've done.
After taking a picture of the Tregurtha in the Locks, I wanted a shot of her out and about. As I was waiting for her, I caught a shot of the Ojibway as she was going out to greet her. The Ojibway is a supply boat that hangs around the Locks. I think she is kind of like the Wescott but bigger.
And then the Tregurtha peeked around the bend.
I really liked the look of the sky though.
A shot of her with the Ojibway. For some reason, the Ojibway reminds me of a remora.

And then the Ojibway peeled away, leaving me with just a shot of the Tregurtha.
Then I headed down to Mission Point to catch a picture of her there. That is probably one of my favorite spots period.
Because the ships seem so close.
I almost got some nice reflections.

A shot of her pilothouse.
Slowly she moves away.
A shot of the St Mary's River.
A shot of her and one of my next subjects.
