The SAM LAUD departed Erie at 0500 on Wednesday bound for Conneaut to load coal for Alpena, Michigan. After unloading she'll make the quick trip over to Calcite for her last stone cargo of the season, arriving around 1100 Friday.
The next day the tug UNDAUNTED/PERE MARQUETTE 41 are due to load the final cargo of stone that Calcite will ship in 2006.
Cedarville's dock has been closed since the 10th of December, and with Calcite's last load looming, it's safe to say that Erie's season is almost finished, as well. We may have one more load of stone coming from the few vessels loading in Calcite between now and Saturday, and perhaps one more salt load, but other than vessels laying up at Erie Shipbuilding, the port is almost completely done for the year.
I will continue to update with information on winter layups as I receive the information.
