I was going to add to my post, the Cort was expected to arrive today for Bayship via the ship canal, and it just did. The winds were light and from the southwest which is favorable for coming in that way. It's supposed to be going right into the graving dock for it's 5 year and lay-up.

Hi,
I have a question to ask. I was wondering from which side do the freighters arrive for Bay Shipbuilding. Do they enter from the Lake Michigan side or do they enter from the west? (I'm rather new to this so I wasn't exactly sure.) Does it vary depending on the vessel?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
