Seaway Traffic (IRDYA, JANIS, FAGELGRACHT, HINCH SPIRIT, ATLANTIC SPIRIT)

Another day where I get to see a couple of ships passing...

Downbound Polsteam vessel IRYDA meets the upbound JANIS destined for Oswego.





Also got to see FAGELGRACHT on her return trip downbound...
Riding high in the water, she looks so tall and narrow.
(Apparently her beam is 19 meters or 62.3 feet)

FAGELGRACHT downbound

Just happened to have seen FAGELGRACHT upbound a couple weeks ago.
She ended up in Duluth, Superior as I just happened to catch her arriving to a beautiful sunrise on the Duluth Harbor Cam.





Next vessel was HINCH SPIRIT travelling upbound, with FAGELGRACHT slowly disappearing in the background.

HINCH SPIRIT upbound






Got to see another McKiel vessel, with the ATLANTIC SPIRIT downbound.

ATLANTIC SPIRIT downbound

Caught her upbound three days ago.



Overall, visibility was good.
Looking 15-20 miles downriver with islands in the background...
Sunlight just happens to pick up the red paint on the channel markers.

Spectacular view looking downriver
