Clelia II tied up at Rochester NY Charlotte harbor terminal for US Coast Guard inspection before entering summer cruise service on the Great Lakes for the first time.	Mooring line guards, bulbous bow and bow thruster presence markings.	Two of four similar lifeboats.	Stern view of the Celia II moored just north of the old fast ferry vehicle ramp.
6/24 - Buffalo  - Brian W.
This shot shows the Washington leading the Jackson under the Ohio St. Bridge.	Here we see the tug working hard to bring the Jackson's stern around the 45 degree bend at Ohio St. to line up with the reach of the river below the bridge.	This vertical view shows the bow of the grain boat just clearing the Southern bridge abutment and the LaFarge Cement Dock as the ship is centered in the channel.	We now see a pleasure boater taking his life in his hands by wheeling past the Jackson as she maneuvers through the turn. A bow thruster application at this moment could easily swamp a smaller craft like this. The tug and the ship were in constant contact about various boaters trying to impatiently sneak by during the tow.	The Washington is seen in this view leading the Jackson past the General Mills plant.
The tow is now passing under the Buffalo Skyway Bridge.	The Washington is seen heading into the Watson Basin toward a beautiful sunset over the lake.

6/24 - Adam E. Cornelius from the 1950's  - Brian Halliday
From my late father's collection.   It was taken on the Canadian side of the St. Clair River, I believe adjacent to where the power lines crossed the river (well before the Lambton Generating Station was built).    My uncle's family had a farm at Bowen Creek, just north of LGS, and my father took this photo one morning.
