Catching Up With the Mark W. Barker

This the other ship that I was hoping to catch.

The Mark W. Barker is one of the newer residents to the Great Lakes.
She was completed at Sturgeon Bay last year and spent the last couple months of the season doing shakedown type stuff (while delivering cargo of course).
I was able to catch her once last year and the drone pictures were not the greatest.
So I was happy to catch her this year.
She's built for getting into some of the smaller ports on the Great Lakes.
I think her hull has been designed so that she can haul salt.
Her cargo holds carry more cargo.
She's not a bad looking ship.  She was heading down to Lorain with a load of stone.
