Last Detroit River transit of the Joseph H. Thompson

[@danielmorris3687]

Adios Joe Thompson. Thanks for the info. I had no idea she was being scrapped. Everything comes to an end eventually as you say, but its always sad to see them go. I see shes in Lorain Oh. now. Im going to keep tabs on her and hopefully ride to Port Colborne and watch her sail in to her final berth. ✌️🇨🇦

Marine Robin was scrapped, part of her was used to build Thompson..and it is a common misconception that Marine Robin was at Normandy DDay...she was in New York harbor, having just delivered Agricultural workers from Jamaica,and had yet to be pressed into military service..she latef sailed from Norfolk to Naples,where she entered the war effort in August 44, and in Operation Dragoon,the Invasion of SOUTHERN France, her Naval Gun crew earned 2 battle ribbons/stars..All this info is out there, but a simple mistake @20 years ago has led to the false DDay attribution..thanks for the video,you went the extra mile for us!!

I only seen her once in detour loading at Drummond. Definitely sad to see this barge go.

Well, dang it. She came to Duluth twice in the past couple of years and I was unable to catch those visits. I swore I would catch her next visit. I guess not. 🫤
