General Sandusky talk

[Guest]

The icebreaking tug is Malcom Marine's tug Manitou.

There's an icebreaker in Sandusky Bay, possibly preparing for Algorail to show up to load coal.

Hi,
HCJ had just unloaded grain in Buffalo. Should have been loading.
Thanks for posting the pic., don't know why my pic. didn't go on here but I see it didn't.

[Castaway]

Here you go, BK. The boat looks pretty far forward on the dock to load. Maybe it's unloading? I'm not too certain why it's in that position. It doesn't appear to be moving.

It's pretty hazy.

A little difficult to see, but it appears that there's a tug-barge there dredging the coal dock.

CSL Laurentien again.

Looks like Algolake there.

An Algoma boat is loading coal now, but I can't make out the name. It's in a bad position for the cam, so I'm not getting a snap shot right now. I might try later.

Anyone know what the boat is? The cabin's aft, and the name appears to be one word.

CSL Laurentien is loading coal now.

John J. Boland is at the dock now.

[Boatkitten]

I see that the CSL Laurentien is at Sandusky now.

Hi Castaway,
Very nice pic.s. Wish I could figure out how to snap them on that cam. So far I just haven't figured it out. These are beautiful though.

CSL Laurentien is at the Sandusky coal dock.

Hi Castaway, You didn't just miss the Jackson, it wasn't in Sandusky yesterday. It was in the Rouge this morning unloading ore. Was suppose to go to Sandusky after that to load coal. I guess their orders must have changed in mid-flight.
I'll work on trying to figure out how to get pic.s from the cams. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks.

Atlantic Huron's my favorite boat. I first saw her sort of close when waiting in line for a roller coaster at Cedar Point. She was heading out of the bay into Lake Erie. It was the first boat I got a good look at, so that's why it's my favorite.

To get a picture from it, you have to push "print screen" on your keyboard if you're using a PC. Then you have to open an image-editing program and paste the image into it and save it. That's how I captured it.

Not sure what's going on with the Jackson. I thought it was due in Sandusky yesterday, but I didn't see it on the cams. I must have missed it.

Hi Castaway, The Atlantic Huron is beautiful too.
You know, I still can't seem to figure out how to get a picture from the cams that don't have a "snap" button. These you put on are very nice though.
You know, Herbert Jackson was headed in the direction of Sandusky, but it seems to have turned and is going back up the Detroit River now. I wonder what that means. Any idea?

[Castaway]

Atlantic Huron is currently loading at the coal dock. Here are two pictures I took of her a few hours apart.

She is loading coal for Altimira, Mexico. As far as I can tell, this is the first salty to ever load at the coal dock.
