It is one of the most unique freighters on the Great Lakes....the Alpena! We captured it a few days ago downbound at Rotary Park. Great salute from the Captain! Thanks! The weather has been awesome to visit the Soo to check out the freighters, the sites, and eateries, shops and off course, the Soo Locks themselves! Looks like this weekend will be very pleasant to visit! -Jim | I Love Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
