SAGINAW Returns to the Zenith City

[@pamelatillery2841]

I like this boat, something quiet stately about it, beautiful day, beautiful sounds, thank you and stay safe 👍🇬🇧👍

[@alaricdogface]

It was a beautiful day to watch this classic laker add another trip to her long history. Stay safe! 😷

I was in Cincinnati last year at the National Museum of the Great Lakes and to see the Col James M Schoonmaker. Down the river I saw the Saginaw docked and was wondering what it was up to.

[@alaricdogface]

Hopefully a little shore leave 💃🕺

[@djmiller232]

That museum and ship are in Toledo, my friend. The Schoonmaker is an amazing ship to tour. Hope you made it to Tony Packo's while you were in the neighborhood! There's also a ship named MANISTEE that is owned by Lower Lakes docked nearby. It is similar in looks to the Saginaw, but has been there for a few years. It's doubtful she'll see service again.

[@jonathanoosterhouse8609]

djmiller232 Hey! You’re correct! I get Toledo and Cincinnati confused. And it might’ve been the Manistee, they both look very similar . It was right near one of the bridges.

[@djmiller232]

@@jonathanoosterhouse8609 It's been more than a year since I've been there, but it was well worth the time. The museum is great and the self-guided tour of the Schoonmaker lets you take as much time as you like to see every inch of the ship. They have a tugboad now named the Ohio that is also a very interesting tour. I still have a visit to Duluth on my bucket list.

[@jonathanoosterhouse8609]

djmiller232 it’s a very good museum. I saw the Ohio while I was there too. Very interesting.

What a beautiful stately looking ship

[@alaricdogface]

She's a classic beauty

un beau navire qui se distingue des autres par sa forme et cette couleur gris clair...avec un petit coup de peinture neuve sur sa coque...

[@alaricdogface]

ils ne sont pas peints aussi souvent car ils ne naviguent qu'en eau douce. Bientôt peut-être un nouveau tableau!

Merci, je suis très heureux que vous les appréciez!

It is not a ship but a moving mini world. Amazing

[@alaricdogface]

People work, eat, sleep and relax all in this one place.

I'm from NJ, but have recently seen the laker ships in my daily feed, probably because of my fascination with the Edmund Fitzgerald. I'd love to get out that way, not only to see Duluth Harbor , the Aerial Bridge and the great ships ; but also to tour the rugged Lake Superior coast . I've watched a few youtubes showing the beautiful coast: it is breathtaking and seems more like the open sea than a lake ! Do you get the northern lights by Lake Superior ? I can get multiple bucket list goals in one trip !

[@alaricdogface]

Occasionally we see the northern lights but it is better away from city lights and farther north. I imagine the north shore would be great for attempted bucket listing. 🌞

[@dudeman50073]

Good work. Saginaw needs to visit Frazer shipyard while shes there

[@alaricdogface]

Yeah that port side looks pretty dinged up!

[@user-rf2kv9nu2k]

Woah she’s got a perfect horn

[@alaricdogface]

Saginaw has a great horn!

[@bluerazor7049]

@@alaricdogface i think she sounded better when she was a steamer. It had that D-major note to it.

[@alaricdogface]

The steam horns are the best!

[@TonyTofishing]

best brother...

[@alaricdogface]

👍🤝👍😁

[@johnmanthey2683]

She looks awfully rough compared to similar aged boats in the Great Lakes fleet or Interlake fleet.

[@alaricdogface]

She could use a little TLC that's for sure.

[@ProWrestlingMi]

Is this Saginaw Michigan boat

[@alaricdogface]

Named after Saginaw River I believe

[@terryboyer1342]

Zenith City?

[@alaricdogface]

It's one of many nicknames for Duluth

[@terryboyer1342]

My dad calls it the Norwegian Riviera!

They better maintain that boat better or it sink in next big storm

[@alaricdogface]

They have duct tape

[@realrickharrison3103]

alaricdogface That’s what the Morrell looked like before it sank I not want to be crew of that boat

She does look overdue for some maintenance
