VICTORY/KUBER in Port; STORM, PRAIRIELAND Depart

VICTORY and JAMES L. KUBER arrived in Erie at around 0400 on Wednesday, unloaded stone from Cedarville at the Old Ore Dock and departed at 1230 hours bound for Calcite, Michigan for another load of stone.

Both the STORM and PRAIRIELAND departed Erie early on Wednesday morning. PRAIRIELAND has returned to Dunkirk to resume her duties shuttling scows for the dredging operation there.

Lakeshore Towing Offering Diving Charters

Looking for something to do this summer? Have you always wanted to see some of the Erie area's ship wrecks, such as the CHARLES FOSTER, which sank on December 9, 1900, or the PHILIP D. ARMOUR, which sank in a gale on November 13, 1921? Now you have your chance.

Lakeshore Towing Services is now offering scuba charters aboard the CANADIAN SAILOR, which they are leasing from the Port Authority. In addition to being fully licensed, Lakeshore's captains are experienced divers who have dived on these wrecks dozens of times. You can also book custom training dives. For more information, visit Lakeshore's website.




CANADIAN SAILOR is the vessel Lakeshore Towing is using to offer diving charters.
