Snapshots from the Lakes (1/18)

These recent photos of Seafarers working on the Great Lakes were submitted by SIU officials based at the union hall in Algonac, Mich. The Soo Locks closed in the pre-dawn hours of Jan. 16, signaling the traditional end of the Great Lakes sailing season. Seafarers crew more than 20 Lakes ships along with dozens of tugboats, ITBs and ferries. The larger vessels transport cargoes including iron ore, limestone, cement, sand and salt.
