Tufty - Sharing The St. Mary’s With A Foreign Visitor 8/23/24

In this video you will see me and my friends chasing the ocean going vessel Tufty on the St Mary’s River. We were shooting photos from the Mission Point/Rotary Park area of the River.
The Tufty was upbound in ballast heading for Thunder Bay ON to load some sort of grain cargo.
Salt water ships such as Tufty and many others come onto the Great Lakes and go to ports such as Toledo OH, Sarnia ON, Goderich ON, Thunder Bay ON, Duluth MN, Superior WI. At those ports they load different types of grain and take it to places like Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Morocco, Etc.
Song used throughout the video is “Under The Sun” by DIIV
