The Newest Ship on the Great Lakes

 This ship is the other reason I headed up to Port Huron.

The Northern Venture is the newest ship to set foot on the Great Lakes.

But she is not a new build.  She was originally built in 1998.

When she was acquired by McKeil Marine, the boom was added to her.

She's kind of a cool looking ship.

She has actually been on the Lakes for a couple of weeks but this is the first time that I was able to catch her.

Amazingly, she has already been to Grand Haven.

I think in this series of pictures, she is on her way to Cleveland.

She has a load of stone.

She makes the turn for the channel.

The light was still pretty good.

She is under the bridge.

Almost a bow shot.

the bow shot.

She turns for the other part of the channel.

The light hitting her just right.

She still looks pretty nice.

Again, I switched to my drone.

I got a higher shot so that I could see more of her deck.

This is an interesting looking boom.

The beam shot.

She continues down the river.

One more shot.
