Best shipwatching spots for Hamilton harbour?
I'm going to Hamilton this weekend and I'd love to do some boatwatching, but based on google maps I can't figure out where the best spots would be or whether I can even get to any of these places at all. I'd appreciate some local insight if anyone has any, about where to go and how to get there. I'd love to be able to watch a ship come into the harbour, but getting a good view of ones in the harbour would be great too!

Great Lakes Trading Cards Are Complete!
🎉 Announcement: Great Lakes Trading Cards Are Complete! 🎉
After two years of dedication and passion, I’m thrilled to share that the Great Lakes Trading Cards are officially complete! This collection features 396 cards celebrating the history and significance of vessels on the Great Lakes. Each color-coded card represents a unique ship status: • Red - Active on the lakes • Green - Museum ships • Blue - No longer exist • Black - Shipwrecks
A huge thank you to the over 20 incredible photographers who generously donated their photos, helping to make this vision a reality!
The demo cards and custom box are currently in printing and should arrive by the end of the month. Once they’re here, I’ll share a video showcasing the full set on my website and Facebook page. I’m excited to announce that these cards should be available on the market in early December—just in time for the holiday season! Perfect for the boater community or Great Lakes enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates!

Long exposure light trails of the American Courage under the Columbus Road Lift Bridge (Cleveland)
I wasn’t planning on taking this, in fact, I wasn’t even set up to do so but as soon I saw the red lights flashing I rushed to try and capture as much as possible. I had to wait to cross over it anyway so why not. This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed a ship in long exposure like this either so I went with a 4 minute shutter speed.

For those of y'all who actually work on the lakes, is Interlake a good company to work for?
I've been thinking about moving up North to work on the lake and Interlake was one of the first places I thought of.

Ships not going through the Straits
Anyone know why these ships aren’t going through the Straits? Burns Harbor and Manitowoc have been there since last night. Arthur M Anderson appears to be heading there as well with the ship not heading down between Mackinac Island and Round Island.
Also not a lot of activity on Lake Michigan at the moment. The three ships that are moving just started moving this morning. Nothing was moving last night when I had last checked it.
