Sunday June 7

The Algolake came under the Lift Bridge at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. After clearing the bridge, it continued straight ahead until it arrived at the Cutler Salt Dock in Duluth to discharge salt that was loaded in Goderich, Ontario. When that was completed, it would be going over to the Midwest Energy Resources coal dock to load coal for Ontario Power Generation in Nanticoke, its usual cargo and destination. About an hour later, the Paul R. Tregurtha came under the bridge, passing behind the Algolake on its way to the coal dock. Later Saturday afternoon, when the Algolake finished discharging salt, the Tregurtha was still at the coal dock, so the Algolake backed out of the slip (pictured) and went back under the bridge to wait in the outer anchorage for the Tregurtha to finish at the coal dock.
