The Dorothy Ann / Pathfinder breaks Grand Haven’s pier heads as it backs into port in August 2020.
We won’t see Lower Lakes Towing’s Mississagi next season. It is slated to be retired and cut up for scrap. It was built in 1943 and has been a frequent caller to Grand Haven for many seasons. Here it is unloading at Verplank’s dock in April 2020.
The St. Marys Challenger was built in 1906 and rebuilt for its present duty as a cement carrier during the 1966 season. Currently a self-unloading barge, it is managed by Port City Steamship Services of Muskegon.

The commercial shipping season in Grand Haven concluded Jan. 29 with the articulated tug/barge Prentiss Brown/St. Marys Challenger delivering a load of cement to the St. Marys Cement terminal in Ferrysburg.
This closes the book on a very long and unique season.
