And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

In 1953 , the 600-foot-long, 70- foot-wide Marine Angel transited the Chicago River.
Being converted to self unloader. That would involve removing the superstructure, and rebuilding the center section, to install the self unloading conveyers, lift, and discharge boom. By doing that, instead of being stuck under a unloading machine for two days, you can dock, unload, and be on your way back to Duluth, in eight hours.
Why not!
ReplyDeleteIt's a long way without that short cut.

Looks like an uncompleted ship? No superstructure or hatch covers, so....was it already commissioned?
ReplyDeletePre Marina Towers.

ReplyDeleteSame thing a few other Lakes ports. Laker Skippers and Wheelsmen, some of the best mariners in the world.
ReplyDeleteImpressive
ReplyDelete"Transited" being a relative word for a ship they had to slather with vaseline just to get around the corners.
ReplyDeleteMore. Seven inches of clearance at one point. Interesting how they got the ship thru a lock that was shorter than she was long.
