AMERICAN REPUBLIC Arrives
AMERICAN REPUBLIC arrived in Erie at 1345 this afternoon, proceeding slowly through the channel to the Old Ore Dock to unload stone from Cedarville. This is the REPUBLIC's first visit to Erie this season, and it comes 366 days after her last visit on September 15, 2006. On that visit the REPUBLIC delivered stone from Calcite to the Mountfort Terminal.
The AMERICAN REPUBLIC's visit means that 11 vessels from the 18 vessel American Steamship fleet have visited Erie. Excluding the five 1000-foot members of the fleet, and the 770-foot ST. CLAIR, none of which ever carry stone, the only vessel to not visit Erie this year from the American Steamship fleet is the AMERICAN MARINER. With three months left in the season, it is very possible the the MARINER will make a visit yet this season.

AMERICAN MARINER visits
AMERICAN MARINER arrived at Erie around 10:15 this morning with stone from Calcite. I'm sure arriving in the snowstorm that she did made work fun for her crew today. The MARINER backed into the Old Ore Dock to unload. I'm guessing that her cargo was going further up the dock than normal, or they likely would have pulled in, as most vessels do.
If anyone who reads this works at Erie Shipbuilding, or knows someone who does, I'd appreciate it if they'd email me at jeff.thoreson@gmail.com.

AMERICAN MARINER due
American Steamship Company's AMERICAN MARINER makes her first visit of 2006 to Erie on Thursday, arriving at approximately 10:30 a.m. with stone from Calcite, Michigan for Erie Sand & Gravel.
I noticed that the drydock at Erie Shipbuilding had the gate closed and it was being pumped out this afternoon. I'm not sure what for, but if I had to guess I'd say something is due in that they need to reset the blocks for. Might be the OLIVE L. MOORE/LEWIS J. KUBER duo if there was any damage from a grounding the pair experienced early this morning in the Saginaw River.
