First up was one of my favorite ships.
The Lee A. Tregurtha was making her way down from Marquette.
She was heading to Dearborn.
That means she had a load of taconite which weight 26,000 tons or more than she weighed empty.
This is a fairly normal run for her but I haven't seen her in a bit.
So I wanted to catch her.
She makes the turn for the channel. The light was perfect for me.
She really is a nice ship.
I think she is one of the oldest ships on the Great Lakes now.
She cuts a nice profile.
And continues to make her turn.
The second bow shot.
She makes her way for the other part of the channel.
It is neat to watch the dance.
I like this shot.
One more before switching to my drone.
It was relatively calm out, so it was a nice day for the drone.
The Blue Water Bridge looked pretty cool.
I like this shot.
She starts to pass by.
The almost beam shot.
She continues on her way.
One more with my drone.
From this point, she is about 6 hours from her destination.
On a side note, the person the Tregurtha was named after passed away on November 6th, 2023. She was born in 1937 and studied architecture at Cornell University.
