Manistee arriving to unload stone.
She didn't load salt in Fairport this trip, instead loaded at the Cleveland mine, and apparently took the salt the short hop to Lorain..
Caught some radio after the midpoint of the video. First faint message at 7:30 is "Cap'n, cook says she has a plate for you in the galley", followed by "Workboat coming around the bow".
Built 1943, spent most of her life as the Richard J. Reiss. Originally steam, now has a 20 cyl EMD diesel.

Good shooting Dave. She was gone when I went down this morning but we could see her from the kid's back yard last night.
