Stern cabin of Great Lakes freighter Herbert C. Jackson @ Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. June, 2005.

One last look at the guy at the winch on Lakes boat Herbert C. Jackson. Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; June of 2005.

There's something quite appealing about that awning.... We continue to follow the Herbert C. Jackson through the Soo locks. Engineers Day, 2005.

A better angle on the crew members we've been watching as the boat passes. This view is more interesting, overall. Engineers Day, 2005, at Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.

At Sault Ste Marie, Michigan; June of 2005. Someone, sometime, decided that guy with the yellow helmet needed an awning....

Lakes freighter Herbert C. Jackson at Sault Ste. Marie; June of 2005. There's often someone maintaining or repairing the self-unloading boom as ships pass through the locks.

The best thing about boatwatching the MacArthur Lock in Sault Ste. Marie is that you're so close to the boat, and to the people on the boat. For the next few photos, we'll be watching these gents pass by as the ship works its way through the lock. Sault, Michigan; June, 2005.

Great Lakes freighter Oglebay Norton exits Poe Lock at Sault Ste Marie in 1997. I'm quite pleased with the photo; can't say much for the scan, though. Someday I'll rescan, and repost....

Upper Lakes Shipping's Canadian Enterprise , upbound, entering Poe Lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Got this by sticking my camera through the fence....

Below MacArthur Lock at Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. Indy has just left the lock; Courage is waiting for traffic to clear (there were five ships in or near the locks.) There've been a lot of changes in the Great Lakes fleet over the past few years, as ships have changed hands, been reconfigured, and suchlike; there've been similar changes at the fleet level. Although high levels of change are historically "normal," the eighties and early nineties were years of unusual stability. These ships, both of which I've photographed before, are examples of the recent changes. Voyager Independent (the blue boat), which I photographed as Kinsman Independent in 1992, was sold, renamed, and repainted a couple years ago. Still a very pretty vessel. American Courage, formerly Fred White , remains in the American Steamship fleet. Her owners seem determined to stamp most of their ships with the American brand. (One might have anticipated a repaint to r/w/b, but no.)

That's Voyager Independent pretending to be a wall....
