Catching the Algoway

I took today off because I thought that possibly I would head up to the Soo today with my Dad but it turned out that he had jury duty.  I saw that there were a couple of ships that I could catch.  One of them is a ship that I think has a date with the scrappers in the near future.

 Algoma has been modernizing their fleet lately and I think they have a few more ships on that way.  Given that the Algoway is over 40 years old, that can only mean one thing for her fate.  It's kind of a shame because it seems like she has alot of life left in her.

 Until that day actually comes, I will try to enjoy her as much as possible.

 I'm not sure if she qualifies as a beautiful ship, but she certainly qualifies as a neat looking ship.

 She was going from Calumet Harbor to Windsor.  As I type this post, she's in Windsor.

 She's framed by the Blue Water Bridge.

 And she continues down the river.

 I didn't think I would catch up with her again, but I stopped in St. Clair to catch another ship and she was approaching.

 A couple more pictures couldn't hurt.

 A shot of her pilothouse.

And she continues down the St. Clair River.
