    A large bulk carrier vessel named 'James R. Barker' operated by Interlake Steamship Co. is docked at a winter port facility alongside what appears to be a self-unloading freighter. The scene shows heavy ice conditions on the water surface, with snow covering the dock and surrounding areas. The clear blue sky and bright sunlight contrast with the frigid winter environment.

    It's a tight fit for two boats in the Soo Locks approach canal at the same time in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Corps of Engineers policy requires that boats be secured to the pier while the departing vessel passes. Look closely and you will see deckhands standing by to cast off the Barker's lines and lead the vessel into the lock once the tug/barge has passed.
