End Of The Month Report-December

This month I recorded 322 vessel passages. Unfortunately, I can't tell you Which ships made the most passages or which fleets did, but I'm working on a new system that will help me do that. Here's some info I can tell you. 46 tugs passed along with 25 salties and 9 tankers. Also 6 USCG vessels and 4 CCG vessels passed. This concludes my report for December.

I think that tug is the Menasha. Regardless, you can see the scale between the two vessels.

It was pretty cold, probably in the teens, but I think it was worth it.

 


Update

Today, I will be taking a trip to Port Huron to take pictures of the ships laid-up in Sarnia, ON. After I get home, I will post the pictures I took. I hope your looking forward to them!
