Here's the Earl W. Oglebay a medium sized freighter on the Great Lakes navigating the channel in Manistee MI after unloading coal at the power plant and heading back out on Lake Michigan on New Year's Eve day last year (12/31/06). Was a rather misty day and had a UV filter on the lens which was gathering water droplets but none showed up in the pics at least.

1. Passing through one of two draw bridges in town.

2. Passing the city marina.

I've seen the same freighter come into Grand Haven and offload at the powerplant there too. Pretty tight quarters for the captain in both ports.

Yeah, it's quite a sight to see that big tanker come floating through the pier...and then blow its horn. Wow, talk about LOUD.

Nice series of pics, BB. :)

Oh my mistake, I was thinking it was 8 pics per post but I guess that would allow for to many pics per thread. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks J T, yeah this guy blew the horn while going though the channel since it was a bit misty/foggy.
