These were taken on May 30, 2014 at Marquette Upper Harbor Ore Dock. Note the ice on Lake Superior! Even for the coldest lake in the world, this is unusual.
It was raining this day, which you can tell because I had some drops on my lens.
The H. Lee White, which can only access Lake Superior through the Poe Lock at the Soo, is 704 feet long, has a beam of 78 feet and has a Per-trip Capacity of 34,247 tons of cargo. It is owned by the American Steamship Co. The Capacity per foot of Draft is 1,644 tons. (For an explanation of this see the sidebar.)
Using my zoom lens again, I managed to capture two crew members on the bridge.
Good job guys!
This is all loose ice that the hull of the ship can easily nudge aside. We call them icebergs but don't worry. These are baby ones. Don't conjure up visions of Kate and Leo clinging to a piece of wood in the North Atlantic; Gales of November don't apply here.
