| CEMENT CARRIER John L.A. Gaster follows close behind the Coast Guard Cutter
Sundew (W404) yesterday noon, making her way across Little Traverse Bay
to the company dock at Pann Dixie Cement Corporation. Here it was moving
through about two feet of heavy ice and snow. It reached the dock about
3 p.m. but it wasn't until 6 p.m. that the load was taken on due to heavy
ice building up around the moorings. Low water also caused trouble in loading
and part of the load had to be taken on without the carrier moored fast
to dockside, according to a plant official. The Sundew returned this morning
from Charlevoix to clear more ice so the Galster could leave for Chicago
before noon. (New-Review aerial photo by Fred Loveiace) |
