| Come, Share My Photos With Me As an amateur photographer, I wanted a place to display my photos for all to enjoy. This Site is a collection of (mostly) ship photos from such diverse places as The Soo Locks, Menominee, MI, Marinette, WI, Escanaba, MI, Green Bay, WI and more. The "General Photo Gallery" has a variety of subject matter. Most of the Photo Galleries are done up in a "Photo Essay" format ... (All photos by author, except where noted) Special Feature: If you are looking for a photo of a particular ship, be sure to check the Ships Featured On This Site page to see one photo of that ship and find out which Galleries contain other photos of that ship. ALSO, be sure to check the What's New Page for new pages and photo galleries. Photos To The Right: #1 - The Marlene Green became our first "saltie" (salt-water ship) of the season in Menominee when it arrived at KK Integrated Logistics on April 17 with a load of wind turbine parts. Click Here to see the photos of its arrival (and of the departure of the Lewis J. Kuber/Olive L. Moore the same day). #2 - The Pineglen became Marinette's first ship of 2008 when it arrived at Marinette Fuel & Dock with a load of pig iron on New Year's Eve, just one hour before New year's Day. More photos on the 2008 Menominee & Marinette Ships page. #3 - The ex-Oglebay Norton steamship, Reserve, was brought to Menominee, MI on Aug. 1, 2007 to be converted into a barge. I was asked by the owner to take weekly "progress photos" for his archives; AND he granted me the permission to share the photos of that project with you. Click Here to see the progress week by week. Since these photos were for archival purposes, the quality wasn't my usual effort - some were over-exposed to show detail, etc. Last Updated on April 13, 2008 ... James L. Kuber (ex-Reserve) departed on its "Maiden Voyage" - the "Reserve Conversion" project is now officially finished, and there will be no more photos on that page. Feb. 29 Update - A 30-photo slide show of the removal of the pilothouse from the Reserve and a 25-photo slideshow of the removal, addition of an 8-foot extension, and re-installing of the pilothouse of the tug, Victory, which will eventually be paired with the Reserve! ALSO: Photos from the christening of the James L. Kuber (ex-Reserve) on March 29, 2008, and their departure on April 13! #4 - I took a trip across Michigan's Upper Peninsula from Sept. 13 to Oct. 11, 2006. I was after photographs of waterfalls, and found 63 different falls. I added a new "Michigan's Upper Peninsula Waterfalls" page with over 150 photos of that trip. I hope you enjoy this totally new content!! #5 - Menominee & Marinette got rocked by a good, old-fashioned nor'easter on May 11, 2006. Here, the Menominee North Pier Lighthouse gets pummeled by a breaking wave. - Click here for more storm photos The following pages are updated fairly often: 2008 Menominee & Marinette Ships Reserve Conversion - Page is now complete General Photo Gallery These pages change less frequently: Escanaba Ore & More Ship Photos From Green Bay Wagenborg Ships Menominee North Pier Lighthouse Sturgeon Bay Lay-Ups (once or twice each year, or for special occurences at the shipyard) Odds 'n Ends Also, be sure to check the Soo Locks Galleries (17 Different) page (if the number is greater than "17") for new galleries from trips to the Soo Locks. All other pages are complete as is. |

The (old) USCG Mackinaw was in Menominee on Dec. 7, 2005. It was open for tours (as was the "New" Mackinaw) from noon until 5 p.m. Click here for onboard photos of both ships. The Interstate Bridge between Menominee, MI and Marinette, WI was rebuilt in 2005. Click Here for almost 900 photos of the Bridge Project. Glimpses of the World Famous Soo Locks Lake Superior lies 21-feet above the level of the "lower lakes", Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The Soo Locks were built so ships could freely pass between these two areas. There are 4 American Locks and one Canadian Lock. The 4 Locks on the American side of the St. Mary's River are: MacArthur Lock - 800-ft x 80-ft Poe Lock - 1200-ft x 110-ft Davis Lock - 1350-ft x 80-ft Sabin Lock - 1350-ft x 80-ft The Canadian Lock is mostly used for smaller craft Only the MacArthur and Poe Locks are in every-day use. The Davis is used occasionally for emergencies, or on high traffic days for tour boats and an occasional freighter due to the shallow 23-ft. depth of the Lock. The Sabin Lock is out-of-service. |
