The Great Republic Passes St Clair

It wasn't too long before the next ship appeared.

 She is the Great Republic and I think she was downbound from Calcite.

 She was on her way to Ashtabula with a load of stone.

 It is probably a day and half trip but it takes a while to unload.

 As I type this, she is currently sitting outside Calcite waiting to pick up another load of stone.

 The ships are kind of busy right now as they try to get in their last cargoes before the Locks close.

 Anyway, she's a fairly nice looking ship.

 A shot of her pilothouse.

 She approaches the subject of the next post.

And one more shot of that.
