In 1988, I believe. We used to visit Milwaukee with some regularity. We'd take in a game or two at County Stadium, visit the Arboretum, eat at a couple neat restaurants, tour the breweries, and wander the waterfront. Fun times. This saltwater ship was apparently built in 1979. There are many pictures of her on the web, and she still looks about the same. She now goes by Areti I , a name she shares (oddly) with a luxury yacht. Can't find many details about cargoes or ownership, though. Can't see any evidence that she's been on the Great Lakes recently, either. See Waterhause's notes, below. Much to our surprise, we saw this ship again in South Chicago, a few days later on our drive home.

This Norwegian-flagged tanker was taking on cargo in Sarnia's Chemical Valley. Strangely, our tour guide could tell us nothing about this ship. Well, maybe not so strangely. My sister and I were carrying the 2009 and 2010 editions of Know Your Ships and found nothing about her in either book, which suggests she's an uncommon ship on the Seaway . Nonetheless, the Knutsen has a claim to Great Lakes fame: The Detroit-based mail boat J.W. Westcott II was attempting to deliver a river pilot to this ship when the Westcott sank in October of 2001. While no one blames Knutsen for the incident, you might suppose a tour guide would be aware of it. ===================== I gotta say the Yahoo Maps' choice to call this location "Old Towne Port Huron" is pretty annoying. Evidently Ontario doesn't count.

First pic: "Wed Sept 20 1939 S.S. Maud Thorden 19 Sailors mutinied and left boat at ft of Hasting street" Second pic: "Wed Sept 20, 1939 It was to pick up pig iron in Cleveland to take to Europe but the sailor's said it was contraband and refused to go. They did not get a bonus so" Second of two; I'm perhaps missing a third. I've copied both captions here because neither alone tells the whole story. News accounts generally reported the number of mutinous crewmen as 14, not 19; the ship carried 14 sailors and 6 officers. I discussed this ship in rather more detail with last week's photo .
