From looking at the screenshot submitted of the Blough in the Poe Lock, I would say it was a complete unload.

As far as we've been able to tell, it was a complete unload. Loaded into 2 of GLF's AAA's and in 2 different locations on Lake Superior, but a complete unload.

How much of the Blough's ore was removed? If it was all taken off, this would probably be the first time that she locked down light.

For those who are missing the action, here's a screenshot I took a few minutes ago on the Soo webcam site of the Blough entering the Poe Lock. She actually entered around an hour ago. Allowing for the security time lag of the Soo webcam site. I had to reduce the file size to comply with the 300 KB limit on the Boatnerd web site.

I posted in another thread that as of 2:15 p.m. EDT on June 11 she was downbound and approaching the Soo Locks on the Camera website. However, this was an hour old due to the time delay but if one wants to watch and see her go through then you had better do it now as she is on the Soo Locks Internet Web Camera site now!

As of 1143 EDT today, it appears that the Blough MIGHT be under way and heading to the shipyard. I'm getting different info on Marine Traffic and Boatnerd AIS. Marine Traffic is showing her status as Under Way at a speed of almost 5 kts. while Boatnerd shows her at anchor with a speed of 1.1 kts. Both suggest that the tug Candace Elise is escorting her rather than towing. Maybe some of the more experienced boatnerds on the board could give us their interpretation of the info?
