Cold Classics
Two classics ply the icy Detroit River a very cold morning in January of 2001. In this view from Windsor, Ontario the steamer 1953 built Saginaw downbound with a load of grain and the upbound US Coast Guard icebreaker Mackinaw. The Saginaw would give up her steam boilers and turbine in 2008 for a new diesel engine. The Mackinaw of 1944 at 290'x74' would be replaced in 2005 by a new icebreaker of the same name, but smaller at 240'x58'.
