Up-bound Ogle Bay

More from the Flatfiles

Another ship passes through the locks at Sault Saint Marie, Michigan.

Every time I'm there I love to stand on the viewing stand as ships

pass through from all over the world. They all have there own

individual character, some well kept, some not so good.

The inspiration comes from all the ships that have passed through

before, such as the Edmund Fitzgerald and the crew that went missing

off White Fish Point many years ago on Lake Superior. It's sort

of a chilling thought to wonder if this ship passes without incident

or finds itself in a terrible storm or worse, never makes it's

destination. Think positive Doug, with todays technology

and modern ship design, 99.9% make there journey's without

a problem.
