Last Saltie Departure

The last ocean freighter of the season departed last evening on a race to beat heavy ice in the Seaway bays and rivers.
It was not unusual in the days of sailing vessels that they would become icebound when early cold arrived, like this year. The sailors would walk to shore and camp until spring.

Last Saltie of the year arrives

The arrival of the last Saltie of the year is always a downer of sorts.  The Orsula, arrived late last night and signals the soon end of another great shipping season. The Orsula will depart later in the day on Tuesday in a rush to beat the freeze up of the lakes.
