So I had one more ship to catch. I wasn't sure if she would be passing in time but I was able to catch her.
The Lee A. Tregurtha was coming down from Marquette.
She was wearing a new coat of paint (I don't think I noticed before).
She had a load of taconite, so she was heading to Dearborn to deliver it.
It was still a pretty nice day, very few clouds.
And she's a nice looking ship.
She makes the turn for the channel.
Probably my favorite views.
One more.
Then I switched to my drone. I wasn't sure how many shots I'd get as it was running low on battery.
But I was able to catch the Westcott hooking up with her.
I like the red hull against the blue water.
The Ambassador Bridge makes a nice backdrop.
She continues on.
Moving down.
the beam shot.
She goes down the river.
The Gordie Howe Bridge in the background.
And then I headed to the Rouge River.
There were quite a few others there as well.
the sun was just about perfect.
Stirring up some seagulls.
She passes the dock where the Great Lakes Towing tugs are.
One of the newer tugs.
The Pennsylvania.
ONe more here.
My drone was out, so I just headed over to the Dix Avenue Bridge.
It was getting a little cloudier.
But still nice.
Her stirring pole.
Her pilothouse and you can clearly see her ribbons.
She moves past.
the rear of her pilothouse.
Her plimsoll lines.
A hatch. Each of these hatches are a standard size so they can be loaded by a hopper.
Her crane control.
A sign about trespassers.
One of her boats.
Her stack.
Old Glory flying proudly.
She passes.
I love this view.
One more shot as she swings into her dock.
