This fleet has a bit of a reputation for squeezing a few more years of life out of previously well-worn #GreatLakes #freighters https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/manitowoc-on-the-move-as-officials-continue-oil-leak-cleanup-effort #LakeMichigan

Very mixed weather with rain, some snowflakes, rain again and now some bits of blue among the afternoon cloud here at the Baltic Sea today.

Temps. expected lower in the next days with some frost again.

So, time for a look back to sunny August with a pic from Kiel-Holtenau.

Have a good start into the weekend.

The Lake Freighter, #HonorableJamesLOberstar as it pulls up to the pocket ore dock for loading in #MarquetteMichigan.

On any given day during the sailing season, the vessels of the U.S. and Canadian fleets are in continious motion carrying a wide range of cargos throughout the Great Lakes.

These cool blustery days in Sault Ste. Marie make for some of the best times of the year to catch #freighters passing through the Soo Locks. #saultstemarie

Watching freighters pass along the St. Marys River during winter is one of our favorite past times. #saultstemarie #freighters

The Queen of the Lakes, Paul R Tregurtha is so long, I can't get it all in the shot from my coffee spot. Coming in at 1013.5' (308.9m), she is the longest active ship on the Great Lakes. With temps hovering at just above freezing, she navigates the St Clair River heading for Detroit this morning.

@tinsmith I am all about pictures of #freighters

Here's a shot of this big dooter passing by my lunch spot from Aug 24. I haven't seen ol' Amoenitas since, but as the weather turns cold here, my job becomes more and more confined to the office.
