Ships laid up in Michigan for the 2012-2013 season

Before I start reporting old Port Huron passages, I thought I would put a list of ships that laid-up in Michigan this season below:
Herbert C Jackson-Ecorse
Kaye E Barker-Menominee
Lee A Tregurtha-Ecorse
Joseph H Thompson Jr./Joseph H Thompson-Escanaba
Joyce L Van Enkevort/Great Lakes Trader-Escanaba











Straits Of Mackinac End Of The Month Report for January

This month, there were approximately 20 passages. The vessel with the most passages this month was the John B Aird with 3 passages. In second was the Barbara Andrie [tug], Samuel De Champlain/Innovation, and the Philip R Clarke. Both made 2. In third were all the other vessels that passed. As for fleets, Algoma Central Corp. was in first with 5. In second was Lower Lakes Transportation with 3. In third was a big tie between Great Lakes Fleet, Lakes Shipping Co./Interlake Steamship Co., Lafarge North America, and the Coast Guard. All of those fleets made 2 passages. Also, 7 tugs navigated the Straits this month. This concludes my report for January. This will also be my only report for the Straits until the 2013-2014 shipping season starts. From now on, I will be posting Port Huron passages until the start of the 2013-2014 shipping season. If I get done with that before the next shipping season starts, I will dig deeper into my records and report passages and arrivals of various other cities. Come the next shipping season, I will continue to report passages of the Straits Of Mackinac. Thanks for reading!

Welcome to Michigan Port Arrivals and Passages


Hello everyone, I'd like to welcome you to Michigan Port Arrivals and Passages! On this blog, you will see information about ships passing and arriving at Great Lakes ports of the state of Michigan. Since the shipping season isn't going on right now, I will be posting past information. But when the shipping season starts for 2013, you can expect to see fresh, new reports. I report on arrivals and passages of every Michigan Great Lakes port, except for the Saginaw River. I hope you will enjoy what is posted here!
