The Mighty Paul R. Tregurtha

I can't believe it actually.

 It is almost two months into the new shipping season and this was the first time that I caught the Paul R. Tregurtha this year.  She is one of the vessels that I try to catch.  Here she is coming off Lake Huron.

 She was heading down to St. Clair with a load of coal.  This is her fairly normal run but occasionally she goes elsewhere.

 Last year, a pair of reporters from the Detroit News took a ride on her and told about their exploits.  It was pretty cool.

 Probably one of my favorite shots that I can get at Port Huron.  It just makes her look like a serious beast.

 The ship is framed by the Blue Water Bridge.

 You never appreciate the size of her until you see it for yourself.

 A shot of her pilothouse.

 she continues her way down the river.

And one more shot of her.
