CHEYENNE Returns FARRELL 256

I am attempting to get caught up on two months worth of photos; please bear with me.

CHEYENNE and barge FARRELL 256, after 11 days working taking soil samples off of Cleveland, returned to Erie on Wednesday afternoon. The tug and barge took soil samples for LEEDCo, which is attempting to develop an offshore wind farm off of Cleveland.

A man parasails past the ship, which had been in Erie for repairs to her starboard propeller hub.


The ship's bow thruster wasn't working properly, leading her to take tug escorts up the St. Clair and St. Marys rivers, as well as in Duluth, on her first trip out.


Close up.


PRESQUE ISLE was able to spend so much time out of service for repairs due to sluggish demand for iron ore.
