GREAT LAKES TRADER departs

After spending 23 days in drydock for work on the tug's propellers, tug JOYCE L. VANENKEVORT and barge GREAT LAKES TRADER departed Erie Shipbuilding at 10:00 a.m. Friday bound for Escanaba, Michigan. The duo will run ore down Lake Michigan to steel mills until the Escanaba ore dock closes.

The pair encountered rather thick ice on the bay due to Erie's recent cold spell, with temperatures that have dipped into the single digits of late.
