For those who use Facebook and belong to the Great Lakes Shipping Channel group ... Captain Vautier of the Radcliffe R Latimer posted a picture of Sarah Dann and her barge Weeks 2222 above Lock 7 showing the two pieces of steel(?) that the barge is carrying.

The Moran Iron Works October newsletter mentions a "huge machine base. At just under 200 tons this will be completed in the next two weeks and transported to our port for shipping by barge to its destination on the East Coast." This could be the item on the barge.

The Moran Iron Works facebook page had a few photos of them loading components on the barge at Roger City recently. One of their recent newsletters mentioned that they were fabricating components for a movable bridge in Virginia. But the components don't really look like bridge components, so I have no idea what or who the cargo is for.

After reviewing my images, there were several low lying iron structures secured on deck.

Are you sure it delivered something? The photos I saw of it online coming up the Seaway sure looked like the barge was empty. And Moran Iron Works was hauling stuff to the port from Onaway in the past few days.
