CORNELIUS in Port; KING B Launched

ADAM E. CORNELIUS arrived in port at around 0400 this morning and docked at the Mountfort Terminal, where the vessel suffered numerous weather and mooring-related delays while unloading stone from Calcite.

This afternoon the CORNELIUS moved over to the Old Ore Dock and finished unloading for departing at around 1700.

Actor Steve Smith, best known for his role as Red Green on PBS, had his new houseboat KING B. launched at Erie Shipbuilding today after being trucked here from Kentucky. The boat will be stored at Wolverine Marina for several weeks.

Apparently, KING B. was going to be lifted in by the Port Authority's TravelLift, but the weight distribution of the vessel would have tripped the lift's overload alarm. As such, Erie Shipbuilding was chosen to make the lift.
