The Calumet and the Objibway, in winter layup, as they appeared on Sunday, February 13, 2011 from the US side of the St Clair River. These two freighters joined at least four other ships that are tied up on the Canadian side of the river, just south of the Blue Water Bridges.
Windy days with temperatures above freezing this week mean that the melting is beginning. Soon these ships will be plying the Great Lakes, moving ore and gravel and coal and salt from port to port.
