Walter J. McCarthy Freighter Departing Duluth

http://www.travelcams.info Walter J. McCarthy Jr. was named after the newly retired Chairman of the Board of Detroit Edison on May 25,1990. This vessel is used almost exclusively to carry low sulfur western coal from the Superior Midwest Energy Terminal in Superior, WI to the Detroit Edison Belle River Power Plant at St. Clair, MI (Recor Point). She occasionally delivers this low sulfur coal to Detroit Edison in Monroe, MI and also carries the odd spot load of taconite pellets. The McCarthy is capable of carrying such other cargoes as limestone and grain.

Working at DTE coal burner in Monroe , I've seen this giant several times and one time the ship needed to repair something ? anyway as it was docked in Monroe , DTE had Union Carpenter workers build a quick scaffold to get to the problem area ... Well I transported the scaffold as I am a TEAMSTER ( local 247 detroit ) and I got to board the ship for a little bit & it's HUGE .... Anyway just sharing my experience with the Walter J. McCarthy ........ Peace ----- J. Pierce
