Catching the Evans Spirit

 So I had one more ship.  I was kind of waffling that I would get pictures of it.

It was the Evans Spirit belonging to McKeil Marine.

They look fairly nice, so I figured I would just get pictures with my bigger lens.

I'm not sure what the things on the side are though.

I think she was heading up to Sarnia.

I think she would pick up some sort of chemicals because that is what she carries.

Another picture.

I couldn't take a picture of her after this one because I left my other lenses in the car.  But I had a nice morning.

The Evans Spirit Passes By

I also wanted to catch another ship that I missed up at the Soo but it seemed that I was going to get a bonus ship.

 The Evans Spirit was heading upbound from Detroit.  I'm not sure where she was heading but I think Thunder Bay comes to mind.

 I think she's kind of a neat looking ship.  I love her paint scheme.

 I'm not sure what those giant gray things are though.

 She slowly makes her way by.

 As I type this, she is on her way back from where she was going.  I think she just cleared the Locks and is on her way to Port Cartier as well.

 She gets ready to enter Lake Huron.

 She starts to pass under the Bridge.

One more shot.

And Another New Visitor

I should have mentioned in the last post that the Jacqueline C was a new visitor to this blog.  I wont forget to mention that for the next ship.

 The Evans Spirit was born in 2007 as the Spavalda.  She was built at the Royal Niestern Sander in Delfzijl, Netherlands.  That name should familiar as many of the Wagenborg ships are built there.

 Last year, she was brought over here and some work was done to her and she was renamed the Evans Spirit.

 She is 459 feet long and 68 feet wide.  She can carry 14,650 tons of cargo.  She is flagged Canadian.

Once again, I'm not sure where she was headed.
