Page 49 GREAT LAKES & SEAWAY NEWS • . . . Gary Schweitzer reported that the Joseph H. Frantz unloaded 12,500 tons of coal at the Traverse City Light and Power dock. This was the Frantz's first visit to this dock since 1982. She also delivered the last cargo of coal to that dock for this season. Nov. 27 . . .The tug Torrent cleared Ontonagan with the still unnamed UPSCO barge. When the tug arrived at Ontonagan on the 23rd, four crewmen quit because of the stormy trip across Lake Superior. They were replaced by four local men. Nov. 29 . . Merritt Day, the 161st Anniversary of the opening of the Welland Canal was celebrated at Lock 3 aboard the Algocape. Nov. 30 . . Two fishermen were rescued in Whitefish Bay by the Tarantau after their 16-foot boat became disabled. The two men had been fishing near Tahquamenon Island when their motor failed. They were found near Parisienne Isle area by the Tarantau. Winds were blowing about 25 to 30 mph and seas were running 8 feet. The upbound Edwin H. Gott assisted in the rescue by using her massive hull as a lee to shelter the Tarantau's rescue. Neither man required medical treatment. . . . While downbound in Whitefish Bay, the UPSCO barge broke loose from her tug. The Torrent was able to get another line aboard the barge and she anchored below Gros Cap. Later, she was unable to raise her anchor and the Soo River Belle brought out hydraulic oil for her windlass. The barge then had to be ballasted so it could pass through the MacArthur Lock. She was assisted by the tug Missouri. (Ed. note: Continued next month.) The mine-counter measurer USS SCOUT is downbound in the St. Clair River on November 4, 1990.
