The Alpena backing out of the channel after she'd cleared the end of the north pier at St. Joseph, Michigan, November 2002. The photo above was photo of the week a couple of months ago on Boatnerd.
Boatnerd is a great site for photos of Great Lakes freighters and lighthouses if you've never visited it. When the main page loads from the link below, click the menu button on the left for "Photo Galleries"
The Alpena after she'd swung parallel to shore allowing her to begin steaming north. The channel marker at the end of the south pier is on the left. I was fortunate to have a pool of light on the Alpena streaming through a gap in the clouds when this shot was taken.
