Beluga Fraternity in the bay of Green Bay at 2 p.m.
Turning around off Menominee
The G-Tug, Indiana, is on hand to assist
Approaching Menominee North Pier Lighthouse
My "signature" shot
Close-up past the lighthouse
G-Tug, Indiana, leads the way
Beluga logo
Bow view heading up the Menominee River
Side view from the old carferry dock - now a boat launch
Stern view in the inner harbor
Wide view in the inner harbor
Straightening out the ship on a windy day
Straightened out and heading for the Ogden Street Bridge
Through the bridge
Heading for the KK Integrated Logistics East Dock
Close-up of tug and ship on a beautiful day
Off the dock with the old carferry, Viking I, in distance
Still moving in to the dock
Dock workers grab a light "messenger" line from the ship
Workers begin to haul in the stern line
The prop wash has caused quite a bow in the stern line
The "messenger" line is tied to a heavier cable
The heavier line is slipped over a bollard
Now, the ship reels in the excess slack
Workers aboard ship watch as the line comes aboard
The Indiana pushes the stern of the ship in to the dock
Rotor hubs on the dock on Friday morning
Close-up of the rotor hub
Another part is lowered from the ship
The part is lowered to a waiting truck
Wide view of the unloading process
Just about on the truck
The truck heads to a storage area
Close-up of the part
Another truck is being off-loaded in the storage area
The part is off, and the truck goes back for more
The part is lowered to the ground; other parts are visible
Workers guide it to the ground
On the ground
Another truck backs in to be off-loaded
Workers attach a lift cable and the process begins again
