Bill Jacobitz shared a video of a ship trying to enter the Holland Harbor with the comment: "The Calumet stuck in the Holland Harbor, October 11th, 2011. (Video courtesy of Sally Carr)."
Fritz Tolzman: Why was the Calumet stuck ?
Bill Jacobitz: Likely stuck on a shoal.
Daniel Wagner: Probably had a head wind that day, blew the lake out. Wait for the wind to shift, probably can get back out or unloaded

Sarah Harrier commented on Walter's post Assuming that's 8th street. There is still a depot there but it looks a bit different. |
