The Tregurtha, the longest Great Lake freighter, is 1013.5 feet long.
There are tugs coming to help but as of noon, she is still sitting across the channel blocking any down bound traffic.
As a result, the American Integrity is anchored in Hay Lake waiting for the river to open. This photo was taken from our place. It is a hazy morning and the American Integrity sits patiently waiting for river traffic flow to resume.
Upbound traffic is preceding without any problems. The HHL Amazon, carrying wind generator parts, just passed by.

that must have been neat (kind of, cause it's terrible she grounded) that you had a front row view to watch her get "unstuck"....hope you got lots more pics than these!!!
Thanks Amy. It was very exciting to have all that action nearby. But the whole incident was such a disruption in the shipping industry, I'm sure it for a hardship for the companies. There were about 18 ships held up because of the Tregurtha and then because of the damage done to the shipping channel freeing her. I do have lots of pictures. It was really a once in a lifetime event for me.
