DAMIA DESGAGNES downbound for Montreal.

It's always special to see two big ships "meet" or pass right in front of you.
Transiting the Seaway 24 hours per day, with an average of 10 vessels per day, I tend to see an average of 3 ships per trip during daylight hours... Some days I can see 7 of them. Other days, a mere 1 ship in a 12 hour period, or even zero.

ISOLDA
The POLSTEAM vessel appears to have a hull of shiny blue paint...
But the angle of the sun would not allow me to capture it on camera.

EVERLAST & NORMAN MCLEOD
Tug and barge combination is a frequent sight on the Seaway, traveling back and forth all summer long.

HELENA G
Also managed to get a decent side-view snapshot of foreign crane ship
HELENA G. The upbound saltie was the last downbound ship in 2021 to use
the Eisenhower locks last December as the seaway closed for the season.

On the return trip got to see FAGELGRACHT upbound.

Coincidentally would see FAGELGRACHT arrive (or depart???) on the Duluth Harbour cam.
Another "perfect" day at the river?
