It was a nice sunny day on Sunday and I was looking to see what would be cooking on the river. I looked at Marine Traffic and I saw that the Kaye Barker was heading down and heading to the Rouge Steel plant. Sadly, that wasn't to be. She headed to the anchorage for some reason.
There were still a couple of other ships to catch and one of them was this one.
The Edwin H. Gott was coming down from Duluth with a load of iron ore. And she was headed to Nanticoke.
You can see the Barker in the anchorage behind her. I think there was some other traffic on the Rouge River and they were waiting for that to clear before sending her up.
Nanticoke is on the southern shore of Ontario. It is roughly due north of Erie, Pennsylvania.
There is a steel mill there and some other industry and it is a common destination for ships.
From this point, it is roughly 18 hours to Nanticoke.
Passing Winsor.
The sun was just about perfect for me and the geese in the foreground explains why I like taking pictures of ships on the Great Lakes.
She is about to pass under the Ambassador Bridge.
She moves smoothly across the water.
And she passes the Bridge.
She continues down the River.
An almost stern shot.
And a shot of the Gordie Howe Bridge as she continues on to her destination.
