The American Courage Entering the Cuyahoga River

As I was waiting for the Nickel Plate, I saw that Manistee was heading for Cleveland and the American Courage was docked there.   It looked like the Manistee would be arriving at about the same time I was, so that was encouraging.  When I arrived, there was a saltie leaving and the Manistee was starting to turn around to enter the breakwater.  She was taking her time doing so.

 As I looked towards the American Courage, I saw why the Manistee was taking her time.  The Courage was starting to back out from her dock.  I was planning to get pictures of her after the Manistee but this was just as well.

 The sun was setting and that made for a nice variety of colors.

 It's always impressive to see a ship here because they are so up close and personal.

 The sun was hitting her just right.

 And she was moving a little faster.

 But not too fast.

 After a quick snap, I was able to get a bifecta because an airplane flew over.

 Her plimsoll lines.

 Looking up at the pilot house.

 She passes by.

And she turns towards the River.
