The St. Clair Encounters Engineers Day

28 Jan 2006 89
On a late Friday in June, the Corps of Engineers lets the tourists wander around the grounds at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Engineers Day, 2005, doubled as a kickoff to the Sault Locks Sesquicentennial. Best large; there's some great detail in this pic. Joan took this marvelous photograph of St. Clair in the Poe Lock, from the edge of the Macarthur Lock. I've cropped a lot of distracting nonsense from the shot, but the vision is hers. I took nothing half this good that day.

Sparrows Point

A more traditional photograph of the ship Sparrows Point, approaching the locks at Sault Ste. Marie in August of 1989. Since this photo was taken, she's been renamed Buckeye . Taken with my Minolta Freedom 100.

Stern of Sparrows Point

Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point--soon to be sold to Oglebay Norton and rechristened Buckeye --at Sault Ste. Marie in 1990. I seem to be far more likely to take this sort of picture than most ship photographers. Not sure why that would be. Camera: Minolta Freedom 100
