That ship looks like it has been laid up for good. Nice contrast with the white yacht Jimbob. Well timed shot.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
That big boat is floating high in the water, it is very empty for sure. The guy on the sailboat almost looks like he's holding the rope. Good comparison.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
I think the sailboat has the right-of-way in this situation. Good find, Jimbob.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
This is a great capture, JimBob. The big ship is intriguing, but I'll take the sailboat any day. The John J. Boland looks as though it has been backed into a cut channel - is it not used anymore? It is not even tied to a dock - can You imagine standing on the deck of that thing looking down at the ground?

Life is a Constant Audition
The John J. Boland looks very intimidating next to the sailboat - great scale shot Jimbob - Well Done!!!!!!!

It does look like it is permanently moored there - nice capture of the two with such a big difference.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
Well spotted Jim, this is a fabulous image. I always thought the rule of the water was 'Steam gives way to sail!'

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington. So I'm sure you'll have both knowledge and wisdom enough to go over and see My Gallery.
You peaked my curosity with this one. I Googled it because I wanted to know what that strange structure was on the deck. Never did find out but did read some interesting stuff about this "boat".
"This ship spends most of its time visiting U.S. ports around the upper four Great Lakes. Iron ore, coal or limestone are far more common cargoes for this 41-year old bulk carrier than a trip to a Canadian port with grain.
This vessel was built at Sturgeon Bay, WI and sailed on its maiden voyage as the Charles E. Wilson of the American Steamship Co. on Sept. 20, 1973. It first headed to Escanaba, MI to take on a load of iron ore for delivery to Trenton, MI.
The 207.24 metre long by 23.77 metre wide, diesel powered, vessel is equipped with a 7,200 horsepower General Motors engine and has a service speed of 13 knots.
On Oct. 30, 1973, the ship ran aground in the Rouge River off Zug Island on only its third trip of its career. A stop at the shipyard in Bay City, MI was required to repair the damage.
The ship found bottom again on other occasions including being stuck in the Straits of Mackinac on May 18, 1979, at Sault Ste. Marie on Aug. 24, 1981, and at Calcite, MI on Dec. 26, 1983.
The American Steamship Co. changed the name to John J. Boland in 2000 and this choice honoured one of the company founders. It is the fourth John J. Boland to sail for the company in its history.
The vessel was idle at Duluth from Jan. 12, 2013, until being reactivated in May 2014. The difficult ice conditions of early 2014, caused a shortage in the stock piles of coal and iron ore around the Great Lakes and this ship returned to service to meet the increased demands."

Excellent find and perfectly timed capture and super composition, you can see just how big they are when they are running empty. I also googled some information about this fellow, in this it looks like he's docked in the canal between Huron & Lorain OH, maybe heading up towards Detroit to pickup his cargo
