This has also become a some generic notes about using the river for freight. Somewhere I have a time-lapse video of a boat going up the river. I wish I could find it so that I could move it to here.

| Mike Delaney posted Pontiac in the St. Mary's river. You could always tell the River runner boats that did the Cuyahoga or Calumet runs. Permanent mud ring around the hulls that never washed off. Not sure how much of the water in those rivers was even water. Jim Luke: The Ford boats had that nasty stain from the Rouge back then too. James Bouquard: Buffalo didn’t help her either. Ernest Aleixandre According to this article 90% of the Grand Calumet’s flow is effluent. https://www.wbez.org/.../014d0456-910c-4581-9839... [email wall] |

| Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) Looking good, CLE B Tupper Upham: T/B Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder for the photobomb at Collision Bend… Interlake Steamship Company shared Bird's eye view of our Dorothy Ann-Pathfinder hugging the curves of the Cuyahoga River. More than two floating football fields in length, she regularly makes this slow, methodical trek up and down the river carrying iron ore, stone and salt. |

| Orville Smith posted July 24, 1985 (the date of the newspaper clipping). The Burning River at Cleveland was not unknown to me, but I would never have believed that beginning in 1993 I would begin to become more familiar with this area. After taking an early retirement buyout from AK/Armco in Ashland, in late 1992, I was offered a night shift position as safety coordinator on LTV's #1 blast furnace rebuild, beginning in early '93. This sounded like a good place to spend time while planning the next phase of my life. Little did I know that this was to be an introduction to other blast furnaces on the banks of the Cuyahoga, and Lakes Erie, Ontario, and Michigan. The next twenty-plus years were the most pleasurable of any jobs in my career, and the nicest construction companies and supervision I could imagine; all beginning with Jaddco giving an inexperienced safety man an opportunity at a new position. Chuck Mager: How did that "boat" get around that curve in the river???? Joshua McInerney: Chuck Mager that one has bow and stern thruster, twin propellers and at one point in time it had 8 rudders. James Torgeson: She now sails as the Great Republic of the Great Lakes Fleet, which is owned by the Canadian National Railway. [The Carter and Aban/Big Four lift bridges are just behind the freighter, the Flats Industrial Railroad (FIR)/Big Four lift bridge is further downstream and the viaduct in the upper-right corner is the Cleveland Union Terminal Viaduct. Freighters still shuttle iron ore to the steel mill.] |
Literally, an overview.

| Lorrie Warren posted Flying into CLE above Herbert C. Jackson or Mark W. Barker. Very fortunate. [It is the Jackson.] |
3 photos of the Charles C. West on the river, https://www.greatlakesvesselhistory.com/.../w/west-charles-c
Brian R. Wroblewski: She was the last ship scrapped in Buffalo.
I was going to skip this one until I saw the comments about the ship's speed.
Mark Robinson: How fast was she?
Roger P. Hulett: People told me when I was on it that the White was faster than the Cliffs Victory, which was widely considered the fastest.
Bill Kloss shared 13 photos that he posted with the comment: "'Good things come to those that wait'. 37 years of shooting the freighters and until July 7th, I had never seen this beauty [Wilfred Sykes]. Caught her then heading up the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, then I saw her the next day as she headed out."

| safe_image for NYC NKP Cuyahoga River Tour 1956 NRHS Convention It captures some of the bridges in action. And the NYC bridge has its new lift span over its old swing span. One view of the NYC bridge is at 1:00. Also of note is a steamer at 1:13. And a self-unloader belching black smoke at 2:35. And two Hulets that must be a ways upstream are at 5:38. A steam locomotive was chugging along at 6:01. (A diesel with a maintenance issue was chugging even louder in a previous scene.) And a locomotive blowing its whistle at 6:18. |
10:20 time-lapse video of an outbound freighter backing downstream You can sometimes see some propwash from the bow thruster as they go around turns.
0:42 upbound timelapse At 0:28, the turn at this bend was especially tricky because there was a barge docked at Marathon Petroleum Corporation.
Facebook reel of a timelapse drone following a freighter upbound
1:21:26 video, I haven't had a chance to watch this, but I didn't want to lose the link.
