Thought I'd read she was loading fines at AK Steel.

I read they loaded ore fines which would be used to make sinter feed for the blast furnaces.

I'm guessing you meant she departed Toledo.
You are right! I must be getting old!

BTW, I see that she is still at Toledo. Must be something serious.
In Dec. 2006 she carried a load of ore from Superior Wi to Lorain, OH. Not sure if she has been down that way since. Thats the last trip I am aware of.
I believe that was the last time it was down past upper Lake Huron. If i recall correctly, she carried one late season load to Lorain on the run the Ryerson was assigned to.

Appears the Sykes hit something while docking at Sarnia. Heading to Toledo (as of 9 am EST 11-8-18 it is about to enter port) for repairs.

The Sykes spent a very long time at the Sombra aggregates dock yesterday unloading a split load. When I saw her, the boom was hanging off to the side with nothing being unloaded. This was 4 hours after she arrived at around 9:00. I see she left just before midnight. Anyone know what the problem was?
When was the last time that she was down the St. Clair river?

Regards, John

Could this, GOD forbid, mean that she was sold to one of the Canadian companies?
Why would the Canadians want a steamer? No..
Fair point. I guess I was just having flashbacks to what happened last year with the Buffalo. One day she was carrying cargo, the next she was inexplicably heading to Sarnia.
