Little did I realize, it would turn out to be a steam powered day for me.
As I was checking AIS, I noticed that the Munson was heading downbound and would be passing about the time I was finishing my chase of the Algoma Montrealais.
As it turned out, I passed her on the way to the Blue Water Bridge but I figured, I would be able to catch her around St. Clair or so after taking pictures of the Montrealais. I thought it was more important to finish with the Montrealais since the Munson is safe for now.
The Munson is also a steam powered vessel but given the Jones Act, she's not likely to be scrapped anytime soon. Besides, it would be a shame to see her go.
I think the water was even smoother for the Munson, as I almost had a pretty nice reflection of her in the water. It almost reminded me of some of the pictures I took up in Duluth.
A shot of her pilothouse.
A shot of her almost straight out.
And her deckhouse.
She continues down the St. Clair River.
A shot of her stern. They don't quite make them like this anymore.
Then I headed down to Marine City to catch some more pictures.
The water seemed even smoother here.
But it made for nice pictures.
A shot of her pilothouse.
And she continues down the St. Clair.
So then I headed over to the State Park to get one more glmpse of her. I think she was heading down to the Rouge River to dump off some stone.
The profile shot.
One more profile shot.
A shot of her pilothouse.
And she continues on to Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River and the Rouge River.
