Here's my video from early this evening as the Joseph L Block from Central Marine Logistics passed by, downbound on her way to Indiana Harbor loaded with iron ore We had a nice treat with not one but TWO salutes... The first was provoked by someone over in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan who had something to salute the ship first and they saluted back... then a little later as they got to Rotary Park, the ship saluted and that same person saluted back!

Here’s video #4 from yesterday in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan as I ran errands and chased ships! This time it’s the M/V Joseph L. Block making their way past West Pier...DELICIOUS! after locking through… they were loaded with limestone and headed for Duluth to discharge and then we’ll have to see where she loads… Duluth, Two Harbors or Marquette! West Pier Drive-In was hopping as usual and of course my order came out as I was recording! 😆 Up next the Burns Harbor arriving downbound at West Pier!

Well I'm finally getting around to posting my Johnson's Point video of the Joseph L Block upbound on her way to the locks as our First Ship of the 2024-2025 shipping season here in Sault Ste Marie... This was from Thursday the 21st... She got here a full day early and there was no real contest as far as who would get here and be #1... No one else was really even close She's now well on her way to Duluth (Her orders changed... At the time of this video she was supposed to go to Two Harbors) Hopef

I'm back everyone with one of 2 videos I managed to take yesterday and we get a salute in it as well! The Joseph L Block from Central Marine Logistics was passing through town on their way to Duluth and I had time to scoot out to our deck and shoot this vid for you! There must have been some folks there to watch them go by at Mission Point because her Captain gave a wonderful Captain Salute! The Block has a nice deep whistle that's always a treat to listen to :) Hoping to catch them downbound as

A few minutes ago, the Joseph L Block passed by Mission Point and Rotary park here in Sault Ste Marie after locking through downbound and they are now on their way to Port Inland This is the first ship I managed to capture today lol... at least it's something right!?! :p No salute from the Block this evening... maybe it's the dismal weather 🌂🌧☁️ I am hoping she keeps coming back this way since our list of ships keeps dwindling with so many going into layup now either temporarily or permanently

Well the lighting wasn't very good as the Joseph L Block went by and I had to rush out to catch her since I was getting breakfast for my Dad but I made it! The Block was our first ship this season so it was definitely a treat to see her go by this morning... Big hello to Captain Garvey and a big thank you for the Master Salute and a big hello to Bob Haworth who is aboard right now as well... They are loaded with ore and headed down to Indiana Harbor so they will get there in 32 hours give or tak

I was really glad to be in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan this afternoon to see the Joseph L Block arrive in town on her way to Marquette… she was looking great and the crew were there waiting to wave to the folks on shore and say hi! It was great! There were lots of folks downtown at the viewing platform as well to see them pull in there too… For now the park closes pretty early in the evening but as we move along into summer the hours will extend which will be nice Big thank you to Captain Garvey (

Loved being able to see the M/V Joseph L. Block “sail off into the sunset” last night while on the Boatnerd Cruise with the Original Soo Locks Boat Tours! It was a fabulous final boat catch of the night as we made our way to the MacArthur Lock to lock through and head back to the tour boat’s dock The Block was headed for Marquette to load ore and as I type this they are just pulling away from the dock loaded and bound for Toledo so we will see them early tomorrow morning ing which is great.. may
