Decent crop of relatively new vessels...
A red ship, blue ship, and a new ship.

The 2017-built FEDERAL MOSEL upbound for Oshawa

Always intrigued by the shape of the bow on some of these FedNav ships...

Optics of the curve...

Dwarfed by the mighty superstructure

Always amazed at how the ships zig-zag through the channel

Shorebirds hunting for Crayfish

Waiting for the next ship, the downbound ALGOMA SAULT

Nothing in sight just yet...

The 2018-built ALGOMA SAULT

ALGOMA SAULT approaching

Downbound for Quebec City |
Definitely has newer paint than some of her fleetmates (Especially the EQUINOX and HARVESTER)

Upbound passenger vessel LE BELLOT meets the downbound ALGOMA SAULT

The two vessels meet in front of MacDonald Island

The 2020-built LE BELLOT
Passenger vessels like this are becoming more common on the Seaway.
Can just barely see the colors of the French flag
The two vessels had practically upbound lock times at Eisenhower and Iroquois. They met close to MacDonald Island. Specularing that it's approximately the "halfway point" between locks... Guessing an hour from their in either direction to the lock? Arrival time plus one hour and forty-five minutes?
