Highland Eagle

The 235-foot long (72m) Highland Eagle was seen in the early morning mist at Mackinaw City, Michigan. The London-based "supply vessel/offshore tug", built in 2003, is conducting rock sampling and other preparations for the controversial Enbridge Line 5 tunnel (an oil pipeline) in the Straits of Mackinac.

 

Enbridge, a Canadian company, was responsible for the 2010 oil spill in Marshall, Michigan, the largest inland oil spill in history that required five years of cleanup in the Kalamazoo River.
