The American Mariner was downbound at Marine City early the morning of April 5 and it looked like it had the GRN stack minus the wheel logo, and I think, the red stripe. The light wasn't that good.

Looks like Jackson may be running up the Cuyahoga from the Lakefront dock and Barker may be running ore from Ashtabula to Cleveland Lakefront. Just an observation and thought.

Its Sunday afternoon, Mar 14, and Herbert C Jackson is now in Cleveland for the shuttle runs. Must have left Detroit layup sometime during the night Mar 13 or 14. Kaye E Barker is due to sail sometime tomorrow (Mar 15) from Sturgeon Bay via Green Bay. Any idea what she's going to be hauling til the ...

Greater Detroit and Eastern States, burned on Lake St. Clair 12 December 1956.

Alpena upbound about Woodward Avenue Detroit at roughly 530pm Saturday Mar 6. For an old timer, the season is underway for 2021.

Tied up to CUYAHOGA in north slip in Sarnia shortly after 7pm Mar 1.

Upbound Detroit River Fighting Island area about 12 noon Mar 1 AIS shows enroute to Sarnia.

That is what she did in 2020. I also checked Marine Traffic a while ago and so far they're showing her as remaining in Detroit at her Lay-Up dock at Nicholson's for now at least. Also, there's nothing posted as of yet as far as a 2021 Fit-Out schedule either on the Interlake website as well! Didn't...

Their AIS is running. Anyone know if she's fitting out soon? She started the 2020 season early. Maybe the same this year.

Interestingly, American Courage appears to have left lay-up and may be heading east from Toledo.

Yes, I just noticed it. Good to see her out. I always liked her lines. Many years ago, 40+ years now, I got a photo of her in ASC colors and sent an 8x10 color to Adam E. Cornelius himself, which he was thrilled to receive.

Looks like she's gone into layup in Toledo.

This one works.. for now. The addresses for the St. Clair River cameras are always changing for some reason.

Thank you, DD49.

Is it down or did I lose its URL? The site I go to says it is has been taken down or removed or something to that effect.

So now that the Michigan Trader is ready supposedly, when then will the Dirk depart from Erie to Sturgeon Bay and to connect with the new built barge? I would assume it will be anytime now as I think both are done and ready to go at any given notice! Since we are about half way into October now, I ...

I may be mistaken, but I've never heard anything that the Price was ever salvaged. What I recall is she was the "mystery ship" found floating upside down on Lake Huron after the Great Storm of 1913. Eventually, in a few days I believe, she simply sank from sight. Again, I could be wrong, b...

Not only have they been quarantined but they have been sent to anchor.

That means they'll swing on the hook for fourteen days!
