This ship appears to have run aground. Does anyone know where and when this photo was taken?

In honor of Veterns Day.

Raise The Flag?

What does this picture depict? It appears that a fleet flag is higher than the American flag! The man on the right looks to be raising a pennant with the number 1223. Is this a ship number? The man on the left seems to be to be raising a Union Jack. Does any of the activity correspond with the passing ship? The photo was taken at Belle Isle in the 1960's. The ship is the Shenango II.

Sailing On By

Despite the fact that I have not posted in almost a year, the site still appears to be very active.

I continue to receive messages from all around the world concerning the ships depicted on the site.

Please check back in the very near future for corrections, updates and maybe even a new picture or two!

Sagamore

This Mystery Ship was originally identified as the Seneca. The tug is actually the Sagamore. Mr. Harold Harold Tartell and Mr. William T. Mentz were kind enough to supply me with detailed information about the the beginning and end of this tug. Please click here to learn the about the Sagamore.

Soo Locks / B. F. Jones

Thanks to Steve Haverty for identifying the location as the Soo Locks. Steve supplied the following information about the photo:

This is at the Soo locks. The B.F. Jones is entering the old Poe Lock. If I am looking correctly, it may even be the Davis/Sabin side of the approach wall. If you notice the large crane barge in the foreground, this is where the current Paul Bunyan figure is located. The statue is in a small holding pond docking area for the corps just off the warehouse on the McCarthur Approach wall.
