Sturgeon Bay Lay-Ups Jan. 31, 2011

Photos of 14 ships in winter lay-up at Bay Shipbuilding on a gray, snowy day. I usually wait for a nice blue-sky day; however, the Canada Steamship Lines (CSL) ship, Pineglen, was due to come out of the large graving dock around 8 a.m. sporting a brand new red & white paint scheme. For years, the Pineglen (ex-Patterson) was painted black with white trim. Surely, the ship will look better when I get back over there on that aforementioned blue-sky day!! Other vessels in the yard include the 1000-footers, Walter J. McCarthy, Jr., Edwin H. Gott, Indiana Harbor, Mesabi Miner and Paul R. Tregurtha. They are joined by the Saginaw, Wilfred Sykes, Philip R. Clarke, Arthur M. Anderson, American Courage, Joseph L. Block and John J. Boland. Once the Pineglen was towed out of the graving dock, it was rafted outside the Indiana Harbor along "Footers' Row" with the Edwin H. Gott and Walter J. McCarthy, Jr.
