On the Detroit River: CSL Niagara, Full View #2--Detroit MI

One of the delights of the Detroit River and the interconnecting waterways of the area is watching the Great Lakes freighters going upriver or downriver. The "lakers," as thry are known come close to the shore and have a few devoted fans tracking their comings and goings.

 

There is a US Postal service mail boat that picks up and delivers mail as the boats pass. And although Caesars casino was not too far off, I didn't see any excursion boats full of seaman rushing to gamble.
