PRESQUE ISLE ARRIVES; CALLAWAY EXPECTED AT 0800

PRESQUE ISLE arrived at 1730 this afternoon and docked at the Mountfort Terminal, with assistance from tug MANITOU, for winter layup.

CASON J. CALLAWAY is due at 0800 for layup at Donjon Shipbuilding. The MANITOU moved the tug KEN BOOTHE SR. to the north face of Donjon's yard at 1630 this afternoon. No word on whether or not the BOOTHE will be returned to her original position once the CALLAWAY arrives.

Once the CALLAWAY is docked the MANITOU will be departing Erie to return to Michigan.

I will post video tomorrow.
