The Gaia Desgagnes Passes By

As I was getting ready to head home, I decided to check Marine Traffic one more time.  I looked towards Marine City and saw a group of ships that I thought was still on Lake St. Clair.  So I decided to head to St. Clair to catch them.

First up was the Gaia Desgagnes.

She is a tanker that is owned by Group Desgagnes out of Montreal.

She was heading up to Sarnia.

But I am not sure where she was heading from.

I'm not sure but I think these ships see ocean service too.

She still looked pretty nice.

Especially in the setting sun.

The water was almost calm enough that I got a pretty nice reflection.

I like this shot.

I like the reflections in this one.

the almost beam shot.

And the beam shot.

She continues on her journey.

From this point, she is about an hour and a half from her destination.

The Gaia DeGagnes Passes Belle Isle

My adventure took me over to Belle Isle.  I wanted to show my mother the cherry blossoms and the eagle's nest.  Both were fine.  As I was driving through the island, I was greeted by a surprise.

 The Gaia Desgagnes is a new visitor to this page. 

 She is owned by Groupe Desgagnes out of Montreal and is Canadian flagged.

 She was built in 2018 in China.  She is a tanker and can carry a little over 5 million gallons of liquid.

 She has a double hull and is powered by a 6,000 horsepower diesel engine.

 She is over 450 feet long and about 70 feet wide

I'm not sure where she was headed though.
