Saturday Activity Photos
Tugs APALACHEE and MANITOU had a busy day yesterday, completing five tows between the CALUMET, MANITOWOC and ROBERT S. PIERSON.
APALACHEE and MANITOU began work at 0945 hours Saturday by moving the MANITOWOC from the North Face of Donjon Shipbuilding and Repair and anchoring the vessel in Presque Isle Bay; this move was necessary to allow the ROBERT S. PIERSON to come out of drydock. At around 1130 hours the APALACHEE and MANITOU moved over to Donjon and pulled the PIERSON from drydock, anchoring the vessel in Presque Isle Bay for ballasting.
MANITOWOC was moved into drydock at around 1330 Saturday afternoon, where it will remain for about three weeks. CALUMET is the next vessel to be drydocked.
ROBERT S. PIERSON moved to the North Face of Donjon Shipbuilding, with an assist from the MANITOU, at 1645 before departing for Sarnia and winter layup at 1800. At around 2100 the two tugs moved the CALUMET over to the North Face of Donjon, where the MANITOWOC was docked. CALUMET will remain there until it trades places with MANITOWOC in about three weeks.
