So here’s my third and final video of the SS Wilfred Sykes as they pull away from the MacArthur Lock… This time we get to hear a Captain Salute (previous video was a Master Salute) They are now well on their way to Indiana Harbor with the ore they loaded in Marquette and I am Crossing my fingers they come back again very soon! Always such a pleasure to see here and as you know I even get up at the crack of ridiculous to go see them at Johnson’s Point! :) Stewart J Cort coming up next to stay wit

Well here’s video #1 from my adventures in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan today It’s the SS Wilfred Sykes coming out of the Poe Lock and passing by their fleetmate the Joseph L Block… I was at Brady Park for this and I’m so glad I was because this is the only place we heard a salute today from Sykes here in Sault Ste Marie Not two minutes before I started this video was it blowing and snowing and I thought “this is going to suck” and the.

Here's the arrival of the SS Wilfred Sykes earlier today down at Johnson's Point... I was in a slightly different spot than I was a couple of days ago for the Block... She was looking fabulous as usual!! I love the Sykes!! SO GLAD she came up this way to start her season... I wonder how often they will come this way... not often I'm sure so I'll take it while I can get it!! She is on the way to Marquette to load ore and will be coming back downbound late tomorrow.. I'm hoping it's still daylight

Here is my second SS Wilfred Sykes video from a few days ago when they were upbound headed for Marquette... This one was fun because we got a wave from one of the crew... and I THINK I know which one it was! ;-) As usual the Sykes was looking fabulous... I wish she came here all the time... it's always so great to get shots and video of her... I'll be doing a 2026 Wilfred Sykes calendar again this year so keep that in mind when you're making your choice(s) about which one(s) you want to order! I

So here’s my video from Rotary Park as the SS Wilfred Sykes passed by on their way to Toledo.. I think I say Cleveland in the video though… I hadn’t looked and after Marquette she usually goes to Cleveland but this time she’s headed for Toledo She was looking amazing as always… I don’t get out of my vehicle since it was so windy.. I figured there would be far less wind noise if I stayed back… Also a bit of a different angle as they approach At one point you’ll see Follower Tony Jones approach me

Here's my video from yesterday down on St Joseph Island as the beautiful SS Wilfred Sykes approached and then made the turn at Johnson's Point.. It's definitely very different watching a smaller vessel make this turn but equally cool and this ship is so beautiful it's always a treat Big hello to Captain Lori Reinhart who is aboard currently and Bosun/Wheelsman Nick McCall who kept me updated as to when they would be at the point... I made it in perfect time and am very glad I got there since it

Well here she is, the beautiful SS Wilfred Sykes upbound once again at Johnson's Point, this time, minus the fog we had a week or so ago... She is one beautiful ship let me tell you! I literally JUST made it as they approached and Captain Grezhik gave a great Captain Salute just after they made the turn so listen up for that! Of course, my luck being what it is, I ended the video to take some photos and doesn't he blast out a Master Salute when I'm not recording!! I grabbed my iPhone real fast a

Hi everyone… I managed to hustle my bum out to Pointe Louise earlier this morning to catch the beautiful SS Wilfred Sykes on her way to Marquette to load ore at the LS&I Ore Dock… she was looking stunning of course and I was loving it! She wasn’t supposed to be here right now… they were supposed to pass through in the dark but the Burns Harbor and Algoma Equinox both locked through ahead of her so she got stuck waiting below the lock and that meant a chance for me to get here… unfortunately that

Here she is, the stunning SS Wilfred Sykes upbound arriving at Rotary Park here in Sault Ste Marie today… Captain Hein from the Philip R Clarke was with me and I couldn’t resist, I had to ask him on camera what he thought of her and he likes her alright… I mean how could you not! She is gorgeous! Big hellos to Nick McCall and Captain Grezhik who were aboard and a huge thank you to Captain as well for the fabulous Master Salute complete with echo! lol They are on their way to Marquette for what M

Well before I came home I just HAD to get the SS Wilfred Sykes at West Pier! They were arriving with ore they loaded in Marquette and are now well on their way to Indiana Harbor… She was looking fabulous as usual and Captain Reinhart gave a wonderful Captain Salute to all of us watching so a big thank you to her for that! Our little friend Mason was there and his friend Mo, their Moms Lori and Raeanne, Miss Edna, me and a number of others… Always a treat to see the Sykes in town! I sure hope the

Here's a quickie coming to us from the SS Wilfred Sykes as Wheelsman/Bosun Nick McCall was able to capture the James R Barker going past them at sunrise this morning down in Burns Harbor Captain Newland and the JRB left pretty early and are now making their way up toward us and on to Silver Bay which is a rare destination for them... We'll see if it remains that way after they lock through tomorrow The Sykes is still sitting down at Burns and apparently when they are done they too will be headed

Steamy! The steam-powered SS Wilfred Sykes ship makes its way into the Port of Milwaukee through the sea smoke on Lake Michigan. The air temperature is so cold relative to the water that it causes a type of steam that swirls around above the water. #milwaukee #lakemichigan #winterstorm #ice #droneshots | Above MKE / Charlie Antoine Photography
