I was able to catch one more ship at Mission Point before leaving. I decided that I wanted to leave at three in the afternoon because I didn't want to get home too late.
The Algoma Guardian ended up going through the MacArthur Lock but I thought she was going to show up sooner than she did.
Again, I am not sure where she was heading but I suspect that she was picking up grain in Thunder Bay.
I'm not sure how much grain moves through the Great Lakes but I suspect it's alot.
I'm not even sure what percentage of Canadian grain moves through the Great Lakes but again, I think it's alot.
many of these ships move it as far as Montreal or Quebec City and from there it is delivered overseas.
I do know that over $15 billion of cargo moved through the Great Lakes. Congress would be wise to look at that number as they decide on the Locks.
At any rate, I will just enjoy the ships.
One more shot.
All wonderful freighters.
