Agawa Canyon Delivers Salt To Marinette Fuel & Dock on April 30, 2009

On Thursday morning, April 30, the Agawa Canyon arrived at Marinette Fuel & Dock with the third load of salt this month. The past two loads were brought in by the Capt. Henry Jackman. The Agawa Canyon tied up at the dock around 2 a.m., began unloading around 3 a.m. and finished unloading about 8:30 a.m. The Agawa Canyon then backed out past Menominee North Pier Lighthouse shortly after 9:30 a.m.
