Herbert C. Jackson

Better LARGE! That ship's Herbert C. Jackson, approaching the Soo Locks under International Bridge. Photo taken Engineer's Day, 2005. I'll be showing more....

Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, June of 2005.

Still approaching the lock at Sault Ste Marie, June, 2005. International Bridge in the background, as is the railroad bridge.

Still creeping into MacArthur Lock at Sault Ste. Marie....

As a ship approaches the viewing platform above the MacArthur lock at Sault Ste. Marie, the perspective suddenly changes. Instead of looking at an approaching ship, you can suddenly see all the machinery on the deck and you start to get interested in the details.

This is what I like best about watching boats at the Soo: You can see the people who work on these ships. Particularly if the boat's in Macarthur. Engineers Day, 2005.

Then they get even closer. Engineers Day 2005. (Engineers Day 2006 is June 24 --next week. Just in case you want to go.)
