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 Damia Degagnes Passing Belle Isle

The next ship was following pretty closely to the Maritje Andrea and it fairly beautiful in its own right.

It turns out that this is her first appearance on this blog.

This is the Damia Degagnes and is owned by Groupe Desgagnes out of Quebec City, Quebec.

She was built in Istanbul, Turkey in 2016.

She is 442 feet long and 77 feet wide.  She is a tanker that can carry 15,000 tons of cargo.

I think she was heading down to Nanticoke but I don't remember.  At any rate, these ships are fairly beautiful.

And of course, I switched to my drone.

I think the Detroit River looks really cool from the air.

It seems like you only see oceans that are this blue.

Or some spring fed lakes.

I think one of the reasons it is so blue is that it is so fast moving but still, I wouldn't trust anything that comes from it.

One more shot.
