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)

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. June 30, 2009 UPDATE: Groundbreaking for a new Soo Lock was held today! The new lock will be the same size as the Poe Lock, and will occupy the area now occupied by the Davis & Sabin Locks. No actual construction date hes been set at this time. |
