G-Tugs, Texas & Indiana prepare to lead ship out of port
Texas moves out while stern lines are brought aboard ship
A couple brave fishermen head into a nasty chop
... well, maybe not!!
A stern line is passed between tug, Texas, and ship
Texas "pours on the coals" as the tow gets underway
The ship is pulled away from craneship, William H. Donner
Pulling the ship into the main channel
The tow is moving nicely
Texas leads the ship out of the inner harbor
Wide view of the tow
Close-up of the Federal Miramichi
Bow view
The tow heads for Menominee North Pier Lighthouse
Tug, Indiana, "rides herd" on the ship's starboard side
Passing Menominee North Pier Lighthouse
Between Government Pier and the lighthouse pier
Tugs getting ready to turn the ship around
Indiana begins to push the bow around
Beginning the turn with a bit of wind blowing
The ship begins to turn
... coming around
Halfway around and the Texas breaks away from the tow
... as the Indiana continues to push the bow around
Indiana passes midship, its job is (well) done
As the Indiana passes astern, the ship revs up
Heading for their next port of call
One last look beyond Menominee North Pier Lighthouse
