MICHIPICOTEN Set to Depart; Dredging Continues; LANSDOWNE's Milwaukee Skytops to be Saved; Dredging Work Continues

MICHIPICOTEN is scheduled to depart sometime Tuesday afternoon or evening bound for Toledo, where she is expected on Wednesday morning to load coal for Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

MICHIPICOTEN emerged from drydock on Sunday and is now moored at the north face of Erie Shipbuilding. The KAREN ANDRIE, meanwhile, has been turned around and is now moored behind the A-397 facing south.

Dredging work at East Avenue continues today as crews from Lakeshore Towing works to finish the job. Lakeshore's entire fleet is now back in the water, with towboat ENDURANCE having been put back in the water over the weekend.

A bit of good news for preservationists: the two Milwaukee Skytops on the LANSDOWNE are have been saved and are going to be shipped back to the midwest for restoration. Although the LANSDOWNE won't be saved, a piece of the vessel will be.
